Science Conquest of outerspace! Intercontinental mis- silesl Rockets to the moon! These bring to the world the ever growing need for well edu- cated scientists. Northwest Classen's Science program is a well established one. Students of general science, geology, chemistry, phys- ics, and research science have repeatedly won top honors at the annual science fair. Many have taken their projects on to the national science fair and have successfully competed for scholarships and other awards. Northwest has one of the best equipt science departments in the nation. Each stu- dent has the privilege of using the equipment to help him in his scientific endeavors. Teach- ers also have special equipment on reserve to aid in further study, One of the most useful items is television. By this means students use research and experiments that cannot be done in local laboratories. The Science Club gives any student the opportunity to satisfy his natural curiosity about our world, its composition, and why it behaves.like it does. Students who show spe- cial ability in science may become members of the Honor Science Club of Research Science By 2000 AD. the welfare of the United States will be the responsibility of today's youth. The nation must be able to face any challenge of aggressors who may threaten civilization.

Teachers at Northwest specialize in different field, preparation for college and a well rounded life The department consists of twelve members with Miss Audrie Alberts as Department head. SOCIAL STUDIES Man's humanity to man must excel his inhumanity. Who discovered America? Who was the first President of the United States? Who won the Hundred Years war? All these and other stirring questions frequently asked on programs such as 564,000 question and Tic Tac Dough are an- swered, discussed, memorized and understood in the history classes of Northwest. But history doesn't dealonlywith thingsofthe past. This year we have made history with Sput- nik, Mutniks and such. These controversial sub- jects and many more are discussed pro and con throughout history classes. Do you sometimes tire of hearing grand- dad's tales of when he was a boy? Beware! The tales you can tell of l958 may someday seem ci bit elementary, too. This is indeed a fascinating age in which to live. The day-to-day run of news that surrounds us displays some of the most startling achieve- ments of all times. Today it's news-tomorrow it's history. Discussing a map of the new world are Mr. Steve Ellis, Miss Ophelia Byars, Miss Gladys Shepard and Mr. Duane Weinert.
