ENGLISH Through our English classes we have acquired a respect and an understanding for our language. We have learned to read it, to speak it, to write it, and to listen to it to the best of our individual abilities, with the result that we understand ourselves, our country and our world to a much greater degree. In addi- tion to studying the works of English, American and world authors, students may register for courses in creative Writing and journalism. Miss Virginia Alwin is chairman of this, the largest department in school. MATHEMATICS Courses in mathematics are so arranged that students receive basic training in accordance with their plans whether they plan to enter business, science or technology. The department under Miss Erickson as chairman offers courses in advanced arithmetic, higher algebra, plane and solid geometry and trigonometry. By careful planning at registra- tion time any of our graduates can be well grounded in the field of mathematics. WALTER BOHNER Chemistry THEODORE BRUNSON E. S.

To those who plan to continue in this area, study in our science courses provides an excellent beginning, and to others affords a greater understanding of the com- plex World about us. The science department is under the chairmanship of Mr. Walter H. Bohner and includes a staff of five members. SOCIAL STUDIES Cut social studies courses include world history, American history, and social science. World history introduces us to the rest of the world, through the learning of its customs and how they have developed through the ages. American history tells us of the formation of our own country and its governing principles. Social studies explains these political and economic organizations in practise. We also learn about ourselves in this course through the psychology of the individual and the study of the family. Mr. Julius Cpheim is chairman of the eight member department.
