Perhaps the students of Shawnee Senior High School spent more time in language and social studies classes than those of any other subjects. At least three years of English were required for everyone. Book reports, diagramming, and literature are what we remember when we think of the study of our own language. Spanish and Latin were also a part of the curriculum. It was fun to learn to speak in the tongues of other countries. WWBMG Government, American history, world history, and civics made up the social studies department. In government and civics we learned the workings of national, state, and local governments. The study of American and world history taught us the story of our country and of the growth of civilization. Left Above: Every six weeks- book reports! Left Below: How do you say June in Spanish? Above: Is an American Heritage a good source for history reports? Below: Mr. Hughes talks of current events and other subjects.

VolleYbal1 is one of the many sports offered in boys physical education classes Physical education, health, drivers' training, and other special classes were also important to our educations. Both boys and girls were re- quired to take gym and health. These courses taught us the care and workings of our own bodies. Other nonacademic courses, however, were elective. In drivers' training we learned the skills of driving a modern car. The knowledge we re- ceived will be useful through- out our lives. ABOVE: First aid is a part of senior health classes.
