IT BEHOOVES A MAN TO KNOW HIS NEIGHBORS. World knowledge comes first hand to many of our social studies teachers. Most recent globe-trotting for the bunch was that done by Miss Ophelia Byars this past summer. Courses in American and World History, Government and World Prob- lems are popular with Northwest Classen students. One year of American History is required, but World History is optional. However the classes are packed and many have to revise schedules to other courses. Miss Byars, Mr. Don Van Pool, Miss Gladys Shepard, Mr. Clay Davis, Mrs. Dorothy Peale and Mr. Duane Weinert have assembled in the Okla- homa Room ofthe library to do some research and refreshen- ing on facts of Oklahoma History preparatory to questions that may be asked during the State's Semi-Centennial Cele- bration this spring. an Infinitely Different School. DATES, DEATHS AND DISASTERS are not the sum and substance of History, Miss Blanche Holland stimulates dis- cussions by the use of maps, field trips, films, current events, and reports. Miss Holland also teaches psychology. ,igtggbiiiiigiigsi5,-'1giii,lii.i.:..--:3 W M' , SE ' fiffififkf' ws' Wt! z 'f K ' ' N: ,k,2,,,,,. ,.., .W ,. .. M . . A 3, K, . M, ..

MANY OF THE THINGS THAT THRILL the pride of Northwest Classen Knights and Ladies are directly due to the efforts and patience of our dedicated assistant principal, Mr. Lloyd M. Estes. lt was he that suggested our sobriquet and it is because of his unrelenting awareness that we re- main worthy of its implications. Being godfather to 2,000 students is an onerous task. Yet Mr. Estes is never too busy to see a student who needs him. In addition to his administrative duties, Mr. Estes sponsors the law enforcing body of the stu- dent population, the Proctor System, which he founded, The Bar Association, Proctor Court and Proctor Supreme Court are parts of the organiza- tion. He also trains the CSS Engineers, who op- erate the intercommunication system. His fair play and straightforwardness make him popular with students and faculty alike. fbi MR. LLOYD M.
