Social Studies and Sciences Solve Old Mysteries and Explore NCUD Problems Why? This is the eternal question of both the natural and the social scientist, and man and his environment certainly pose enough questions to provoke whys and wherefores for countless centuries. The de mand for scientists needs no metiou. We all know how great it is. Science has revoluntionized our lives, and in so doing, it has created an irreplaceable position for itself in our way of life; from mathem-itu s the language of science, to the com- DAROLD KNOBLE-Geography B.S. j LaCiosse State College; Reading JOSEPH OPHOVEN-Social Problems B.S., M.A. ; Stevens Point and University of Wis. ; Fishing and Swimming GURVTN ROMOREN-General Science, Biology B.

The Finishing Touch to Our Mental and Physical Growth There is a certain embryonic desire in almost every human being to attain a special type of perfection - a perfection that satisfies his soul as nothing else can. Art, music, and athletics give us the opportunity to satisfy this special desire. In the days when such organizations were few and far between, it was difficult to obtain any instruction in the fine arts, or to have a well-balanced program to keep our bodies in tip-top shape. Thanks to the people who are willing to devote their time to furthering these causes, our curricu- lum contains more instruction in the fine arts and physical education each year. From swallow tails to sweat-suits, we are constantly striving to grow just a little bit better. CAROL CHAPELL-Physical Ed. B.S.

Language, the Cornerstone of Civilization Chaos. That is what our world would be without language. If no one could speak or write, our homes would be caves in the hills, our pencils would be burly clubs, and our only way of expressing ourselves to others would be to clout them over the head. Add language to our lives and we name a keen insight into the history, character, thought, and accomplishments of our fellow-man, a sure way to express ourselves in all studies throughout our lives. And our language courses, too, are in keeping with our cosmopolitan age. Besides basic English courses, we have Latin, Spanish, and Speech, plus a fourth year of Eng- lish. Forensics and play production have been added as activities, and just this year we welcomed a new member to our multilingual family-French. PETER HAFNER-English I, Orchestra B.
