fill, STUUY, l-lfllll Having plenty of material for reference work most assuredly is an asset to all students. VVith all books classified in the Dewey-Decimal system. nobody could be completely in a haze of shelves for long. Trained assistants help those in need of exact and quick information. A library equipped and handled in such a way is advantageous. as might be shown by the high aver- ages earned this year. With the use of the new building. came many new experiences in the lives of a majority of students. Qne of these was the use of the social room for parties and recreation periods. Supervised and initiated under the competent hands of Mrs. VVynn and Mrs. Lee, these new and unusual types of relaxation and enjoyment are ap- preciated by every student. With the introduction of the cafeteria into the usual routine, came a new and delightful experience for students who eat there. What can be pur- chased for a paltry nickel is very astounding. Chef Claus puts all his proficiency and his painstaking effort into making lunches truly the 'ipause that refreshes.

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.

SCIENCE Careers are formulated in High School. Under the microscopes and peering eyes of inquisitive students, the beau- ties of life known to naturalists become a reality. This transformation from beauty to realism parallels the change of student to scientist. The Pikes Peak region is ideal for study of rocks, minerals, weather. flowers, insects, and all the materials needed to give stu- dents a practical knowledge of the things that will give them a good foundation for careers as engineers. doctors, geologists, and the like. In the laboratories of C. S. H. S. students realize the use of such practical and theoretical sciences as chemistry, geology, biology. physiology, and physics. Although these pupils may not become scientists, an interest is awakened which never quite dies. The knowledge gained, meanwhile, gives them a desire to delve deeper into research. lighting the way into the ultra-modern tomorrow. Davis, William E. Hedblom, E. E. Riwhof, F. lackson, L- O.
