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.

Such able staffers are recognized for their leadership and achievement in the senior awards assembly. Sure, budding journalists acquire too many English credits. So, what? This year's batch of cubs with 'larnin' from three textbooks under their belts, were a production staff at the end of the first semester and published alter- nate issues of THE SHIELD.
