To See the Future Mr. I-aim enlightened the eighth grade with “A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death. These were words spoken by our late President, John F. Kennedy. Ideas do live on: this is history. History is formed around ideas. Events sometimes stem from these ideas and interpretation stems from events. Mr. Borgert laughed with the student the knowledge of geography. The study of history gives us a means to predict the future. Events occur in cycles and repeat themselves. Ideally, history is an impartial viewpoint giving facts as related to events. However, interpretation must he involved. Many sources of information were used by students to broaden the scope of understanding, and to help be better able to coj e with world problems. as they found that history could he fun as well as interesting.

Probing the Infinite Unknown Mr. Ulander made use of the many facilities with which our science department is equipped. Future chemistry students gain experience and skill from Mr. Van Wyk as they learn the mechanics of the lab. As students move into the world of molecules, energy, animals, and ecosystems, they realize how-much a part of our world science actually is. We are constantly being bombarded with energy from the sun. The data from major experiments will someday change our lives. Surrounding the earth is a layer of atmosphere made up of life-sustaining molecules of oxygen and nitrogen. On the earth itself the relationship between the plant and animal kingdom is always changing. Is there life on other planets? If so, is it as we know it? How can we prevent the spread of disease? How can we increase food production to feed the world’s millions? These are basic problems encountered in science. Our lives are dependent upon science. Junior high science lays the foundation and the specialized science courses in the Senior high lay the cornerstone for future study in college and finally in a vocation of their choice. 15
