Over sixty percent of our English words come from Latin and these are the more difficult words needed for college work and the professions such as medicine, law and the sciences. Latin can give the roots and prefixes and the practice of figuring out the meaning of many English words, thus increasing the students' vocabulary. Latin also provides the back- ground of our political institutions, legal system and its terminology, our philosophy, literature and social organization. It gives also an understanding of mythology that has influenced our language, art and literature. The study of Latin is an enrich- ing experience. -John Cavers

Social Studies Civics, sociology are valuable classes Civics fills you with all the cur- rent occurances of everyday life. Many subjects discussed are things I might never know about until we discuss themf' Something encouraging comes about when I realize that this is just a warning of things I might be involved with in the future. I enjoy Mr. Cummings class because it is straight forward, informative, and applicable to my future. -Jody Orcutt V g .g ,,..,, g ' ' Z iiffl' I I .. g .A tw ' I sr,e s 522 l I . f1'f5l'iiLi e1i'i f I f s .Egg is d iff -L3 v 'iWff,?,! .WWE ,ff5f,', - - ifff A za ,ir, X fi rsur 4 . .fig . eii' Sociology is, in my opinion one of the most valuable classes that is offered to a student at Saratoga High. It offers the opportunity not only to learn about people in gen- eral, but to experience a great individual growth. I leamed alot about myself by studying and read- ing about other people. I reeval- uated my values and beliefs and came to a better understanding of them. It offers the possibility to gain various perspectives on many dif- . ,f,k- K , .fy L ji ferent things, such as, family life, social mobility, race and ethnic relations, the population problem, ecology, politics and almost any- thing else. In summary, Sociology can be a fantastically interesting and valu- able leaming experience for anyone, if that is what they want it to bef' -Debbie Koci gli' 3 3.2 ax
