 J{now(eclqe of the padt h u5 huifcl for the future. Ray Newman leads a discussion in an American History class. Our studies in social science made us realize that we must be active, intelligent contributors to the life of our community and our country. Ancient, modern, and world history gave perspective; American history brought into clear focus the principles and ideals by which we live. Our classes were vitalized by showing of films and by lively discussions of current events. Above all, we learned to respect the obligations imposed upon us as citizens of a free nation, and to treasure the privileges which we shall enioy as future molders of our democracy. Howard E. Richardson, M.Ed. Head of Department Sponsor, National Honor Society, Citizen Education Project Jacob D. Deutsche, LL.B., A.M. Adviser, Future Teachers of America, and Stamp Club Rae B.

leadt S to true values. In science our inquiring minds find wide fields to explore. General Science gives us a preview of mysteries to be fathomed. Bi- ology leads us into the study of living things; physics explains the iaws of the inanimate; and chemistry brings us knowledge of the elements that make up our universe. We gain practical experience in the lab and in working out projects. Understanding the hows and whys of our physical and material world will lead us to search for the answers to the less tangible questions of peace, prosperity, and progress. Roland W. Tapley, M.Ed. Department Head Adviser, Chemistry Club Francis W. Kenny of the Perth Amboy Fire Department shows a General Science class how to handle a fire extinguisher. B. Panels, W. Holup, and L. Christodoulou, cook up something in the lab. f Ambrose E. Dvorschalc, M.Ed. Adviser, Biology Club
