J---,, r k H i lo gpm-tht-s Vgtdw L D Parsons, Ernestine SUEIAL BEIENEE To help the scholars of C. S. H. S. understand the world situation more fully the teachers have modernized their courses and applied them to the war in which Europe is now engaged. The sophomores are studying the re- lationship between the ancient and modern affairs. For in reality modern history is an exponent of ancient history. Knowing dates and the people of every nation is not the only aim of this essential course. The scholar must be acquainted with the different eras going on in different countries at the same- time. This must be accomplished to connect history into one unit. Handled under the expert supervision of the profs here at C. S. H. S. the students have become more alert and fact- conscious. One day each week is given over to speech. There are many ways that this day is varied. Some days speeches are made from excerpts of the current event paper. The dramatic members give interpretations of historical speeches on other days. Panel discus- sions are very popular. Then, too, in the last semester of the school year the s t u d e n ts give fifteen-minute speeches on any topic related to his- tory. This assignment requires much research and is helpful to the scholar in many ways as well as benefiting his audience. Lee, Olin P. Handke A Fred Lee, Edna M. Iohnson, Lillian M.
