TURNING BACK TIME With politics and international affairs becoming more and more prevalent and outstanding, a know- ledge of history is very beneficial in helping the high school student understand today's problems by knowing the background to them. Prairie High offers two different courses to the students, World History and American History, Under the tutelage of Mr. Herman Derouin, World History is available to all students in school with the exception of the Freshmen. The evolution of progress from the stone age to modern times is the history story under discussion. Special attention is also given to the important news of the day and a study is made of it, Mr. Paul Lutzke leads the first and seventh hour American History classes in their study of our nation. Composed mainly of seniors, these classes make a thorough study of the United States. The reasons for exploration, the exploration, and the development of our country are the basis for these class discussions. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are looked into in detail by the American History classes.

DRI LL FOR LEARNING xjli How's this for study and concentration? The stud climbing up a ste y of Mathematics is like ep and craggy mountain, when once you reach the top, it full trouble, by opening a fine, clear, and extensive prospect. y recompenses your -Tyron Edwards What day goes by when nearly everyone does not use math in some way, shape, or form? Some, whose business depends on it, use it much more than oth ers who may use it only in figuring out their grocery bill or paying income taxes. No matter what your profes- sion or age you cannot escape mathematics and there- fore Prairie High offers an exten sive and thorough course in Math. A student with a fiair f or math can have a course in the subiect each of his four years in High School. Starting in the Freshman year, a course in practical business arithmetic and the first principles of Algebra and Geometry called General Mathematics is intro- duced. ln the Sophomore year under Miss Dohse and Mr. Derouin, Algebra is given. Miss Dohse's definition of Algerbra is a shorthand statement to be performed in arithmetic. Emphasis is placed on the basic func- tions of mathematics which appear most in life. These Nineteen are the formula, graph, equations and problems. Composed mainly of Juniors, Geometry students are constantly trying to prove the relationship between triangle ABC and triangle DEF. Geometry is basically the study of the relationships of lines, surfaces, and angles. The first is evoted to Advanced Algebra which is exactly what the name im- pines, an advanced course in Algebra. Trigonometry is studied by the 4th year students in the second sem- ester. New Trig books were introduced this year showing clearly the mathematical science that deals with the relation of angles and sides of triangles. The tie-in between Trigonometry and physics, navigation, mechanics, electronics, radar, surveying and other branches of engineering is cleverly presented in an attractive manner by Miss Dohse. Scholarships, coll- ege, and college life are also subiects of discussion in Room 3. semester of the Senior year ' d
