From ninth-grade Civics to twelfth-grade Problems of Democracy, with the intriguing U. S. and World history, world and economic geography in between, we explored old and new ideas. These classes taught by our dedicated social studies faculty provided the background for our more factual understanding of both internal and international affairs. To supplement'the basic course, we saw many interesting and lively films. We spent the year learning about our country and about many foreign countries.

Students donning earmuffs and composing their own study tapes enlivened already lively foreign language classes. Using the new tape recorder and microphone sys- tem, Mrs. Pyne and Mr. Wight led us through newly prepared and issued material. From room two twelve floated parts of Cicero's ora- tion against Catiline, spoken by our first Latin III class, sometimes augmented by our Latin II classes and Cae- sar's Gallic Wars. Many of us will not forget .the faculty's enthusiasm which made these languages a part of us.

From seniors puzzling over lines and spheres to freshmen grasping the fundamentals of business math, we understand and accept the challenge given by our math department. Under the able direction of Mrs. Carpenter, Mr. Hur- ley and Mr. Sacco, the theorems of Plane Geometry be- come familiar helpful friends, iust as the world of in- terest and insurance become familiar to us in business math courses taught by Mr. Hurley and Mrs. Carpenter.

Through the efforts of the math department's facul- ty, we learned the formulas and correctly applied our knowledge to the practical problems of our daily life. Three heads are better than one, especially if Mr. Coblentz's head is one of them. business.
