Communication Institutes Culture Communication, the essential element of under- standing, is the skill our English and language depart- ments seek to instill in us. The three language classes — Latin, German, and Spanish — provide an insight into other peoples' cul- tures, past and present, through a study of their lan- guage and literature. The objectives of these classes are listening and reading comprehension, speaking, and writing. The English classes include the studies of grammar, composition, and literature. Another class in this de- partment, Writing and Humanities, provides a more advanced study of rhetoric and an introduction to the humanities through philosophy, religion, art, and music.

World Knowledge Promotes Understanding To better our understanding of man and his world is the main objective of social studies. History gives an understanding of the past, thus gaining insight to the problems of the present, and an idea of what to expect in the future. Social studies in the seventh and the tenth grades provides a background of American histo- ry to every student with world history to be studied in the eleventh grade. World geography in the eighth grade presents a study of regions with similarities in climate, land use, and culture. In the ninth grade, social consists of courses in gen- eral business, Minnesota government, drivers' training, and a look at various occupations. In our senior year, we are confronted with social problems where we study our national government, economics, and sociology. Psychology, an elective course which can be taken only in the senior year, provides a student with the opportunity of learning more about himself, his friends, and society.
