Who would like to help the ianitor wash floors tonight? The Social Science Department, headed by Harold Smith, offers a variety of interesting courses. Among them are world history, social science, geography, W.A.A.C. class, and world affairs. Every student, as is required by state law, must take two courses from this department. They are one year of American history and one semester of civics. These are background cours- es and help us to better understand the world in which we live.

The scientific definition of physics is the science that deals with matter and energy and the physical changes in matter-but to most students it just means hard work. Physics is a ten hour credit class in which the boys slightly out number the girls. Most of the students taking this class are on a college course. Physics consists of three lecture periods, which are 45 minutes long, and two laboratory periods, which are 90 minutes long, a week. The studies of physics I-deal with motion, mechanics of liquids and gases, atmosphere and weather, and force Cthat means I studied by forcel. Physics ll mostly deals with sound, light, and electricity. But, all in all, physics is really an enjoyable class, and the teachers that make it that way are Harold Mohr and Andy Watson. He put his finger in the socket and his head lit up!

English is required of all students through- out their high school career at Roosevelt. Grammar is taught to all, beginning with simple conjugation of verbs for sophomores and working up to the writing of term papers by seniors. Study of literature, both English and American, is not neglected. Three semesters are devoted to the reading of good books, separate stories and poems. History through Lit is a special course offered juniors. It combines English and American history and to bind the relationship of the two, a trip to Washington, D.C., is scheduled with students earning trip ex- penses via cooperative efforts. As seniors, much time is spent in the library writing that literary masterpiece re- ferred to as a term paper and serving as a doorstep to college. You don't scare rne! E n g I i s h Something of interest The morning after the night before!
