A good foundation in English is essential to higher education, to success in the business world, and to the fulfillment of a happy and useful life. A community is truly wealthy if its members have a command of the usage and meaning of our language. High school students are given the opportunity to contribute to and become a part of the community by participating in the yearly Chamber of Commerc.e essay contest. Through this contest, the community's needs and standards must be kept in mind, thus training adolescents to become useful and valuable adults.

Students of all ages seem to enjoy some phase of science. From snails to stars, the popular question is Why? As freshmen, students begin their training in biology. As the courses of school proceed, botany, physical geography, physics, or chemistry may be elected. There must be an answer for everything somewhere, and in science boys and girls learn how to go about finding the answers. In tackling large problems or small, the soluf tion is found by reasoning, figuring, and applying knowledge. lvlathematics also has its place in every high school course. The required amount is one year of algebra, while geometry must be taken by those going to college. More is offered in the advanced stages of both subjects and in college algebra and trigonometry HYRLE IVY DON KEMP B.S., U. of Kansas Physical Education A.B., Northwestern U.
