Using text books, current events, and indi- vidual thought and research, the students study to seek truth as they weigh facts in a free educational system. It is this truth that will keep us free in a democratic society. Social studies prepares the student to fulfill his ob- ligation to his family, his community, his na- tion, and his world. R History is Philosophy learned from examples. Mr. Russ makes use of the map in his social studies class. The students are L. to R. Carol Astle, Howard Turner, and Susan McElwee. Mr. Poole questions the students during class about Problems of Democracy. L. to R.: Keith Hildreth, Earline Brewer, Janet Tenglund, Jane Kester, Jerry Goodrich, Stephen Shelley, Julie Knowlton, Mary Pat Rowan. COMMERCIAL Giving a knowledge of business activities, the com- mercial department teaches the student the neces- sary practical and vocational skills. Fundamental processes are applied to practical business situa- tions and the abilities to perform, such as those used in typing and shorthand, are improved ex- tensively. Fluency and correctness in writing are taught and business vocabulary is stressed-espe- cially in shorthand and office practice classes. The student is also taught to develop the personal qual- ities that are necessary for a successful business career. It is easy to escape from business, if you will only despise the rewards of busi- ness. Mrs. Ann Kannally, new to the commercial department, proceeds with her class of shorthand pupils. Miss Jean Marie Swanson explains one of the rules of typing to Susan Daniels. Other students are L. to R. Mary Henning and Janet Smith. 28
