Perspective Formed by Study of Past Aim of the Social Studies department is to help students adjust to political, social, and economic conditions they will meet in a democracy. By looking back into the past, students gain appreciation and understanding of their heritage which will help them to become useful citizens of tomorrow. Courses offer an understanding of todayis events and en- courage an attitude of responsibility in supporting A m e r i c a n institutions. Courses offered: Oklahoma history, civics, World and American history, world and social problems, psychology. Jane Lawson and Malcolm Haney look through Oklahoma scrapbooks prepared as class projects by Miss Lucile Taylor's Okla- homa history class of l957 and 1958 and pre- sented to the Oklahoma room of the library.

Patience, understanding, and perseverance char- acterize Northwest Classen's mentors. No athlete is en- trusted to judge his own degree of physical fitness. Any evidence of less than tip top health is reported to the nurse. Players must have health clearance. Paper work is only part of Mrs. Nola Moore's duties as school nurse, member of Safety.

BBBg Librarians Solve Problem i'Bring back Books was the slogan used by librarians when they launched the pro- gram to try to recover some 600 books which were missing from shelves at the be- ginning of school last fall. The plan did not bring in all books but did add some donations and lost books to our shelves. Some 139114 new books were added this summer. When Knights and Ladies re- turned to school last fall such new books as the best selling t'Hawaii and uAdvise and Consentw were on the shelves. Such reference books as the 54 volume set of Great Books of the Western Worldf' 6'Van Nostrand Chemistry Dictionaryf, Life Magazineas 4'World's Great Religions, Britannica World Language Dictionary, and 'lSmithsonian Treasury of Science were added to the shelves. Facilities of the library and services of the librarians are always available to students. Those on the library staff are ready to assist in any way they can-a student has only to ask for help. Resources of the library include more than 15,000 books of all kinds and subscriptions to more than 65 magazines. Doughty Gay MRS. ALMA G.
