Classes in Senior Problems find debate and discussion a valuable aid to VF' ENGLISH-I Preparing the seniors of Sierra High School to assume the responsibilities of intel- ligent, informed citizenship is a prime concern of both Senior English and Senior Problems. Senior Problems teaches the workings of the government at the local, state and national level. It also shows the student how to be wise in his role as a consumer, and to cope with the problems which may face him in marriage and family life. Senior English helps the student to better expression in the English language, and provides training in written expres- sion which will benefit him in higher education as well as in his chosen occupation. l IORLD CULTUR ES Mr. Mervyn Bloom Mr. Gabriel lnieiikian World Cultures World Cultures Miss Gl'dYS Johnson Student Senate Plone Geometry World Cullures Mr. Willard Robertson World Cultures - World Cultu Mr. Gunnar Lendroth Department Head World Cultures The complex patterns of world history fall neatly into place in Sierra High School's World Cultures classes. ln this course, the past vividly opens, and the sophomores of Sierra receive an interesting education in a fascinating field which adds to the students general educational background.
