Striving to prepare the students for better living in a dramatic world, is the main objective of the four sections of this department, namely, plain linglish, speech and dramatics, journalism, and creative writing. An important section of study in every lfnglish class IS literature. Reading units attempt to develop within the students a taste for better literature. Senior high lfnglish classes try to promote better habits in both oral and written composition, that must be practiced not only in the classroom. but throughout the entire day. The speech courses, directed by Mr. Burdette Noel- ler, develop self-conhdence and proise in the student's social relations among the student body. ocial Studies lYorld History, American llistory and social studies are the three social studies courses required in senior high. This department, headed by Mr. ,Iulius Opheim, consists of eight faculty mem- bers who help us develop a knowledge of- the past in order that we can better understand the present and prepare our- selves for the future. Not only past and present events in history are presented in the 10th and 11th grades, but in social studies 12 an approach is made to mental hygiene and problems confronting us by today's com- plex society. All of those who plan to continue in this field should find these to be excellent preparatory courses for college. 9

l Miss Lila Argue, assistant principal Boys' Adviser All those who have come in contact with Mr. Earl Bing Obermeyer, boy's adviser, know what an excellent job he has done in the past three years. Mr. Obermeyer is not only conscientious and capable of doing a good job, but gives the students a picture of what patience, understanding and helpfulness really are. It is through his and Miss Argue's combined efforts that the Rochester guidance program is one of the best in the stale. 8 . . . and Advisers Assistant Principal Miss Lila Argue, assistant principal and girls' ad- viser is a very well-known figure around our halls. Although Miss Argue has a full day nearly every day, she is always ready to listen patiently and under- standingly to our many problems and give us a friend- ly smile and greeting. Miss Argue not only helps the students plan their course of study, but takes an active interest in our school functions and athletic programs. In the memories of Rochester High School, Miss Argue's help and guidance will not be forgotten. mr-fum 'VN 'Msg 91211 Mr. Earl Obermeyer - boys' adviser
