views. Several of Miss Guyer's American history students will have a decided advantage over other college freshmen next fall. The fortun- ate seniors who participated in Southwests first Advanced Placement class may receive up to five hours of college credit for success- ful completion of the enriched course. VVide reading, frequent discussion, and individual research into varied topics give the students in this class a more thorough understanding of the subject than they would receive in a regular high school course. This challenging type of work has proved to be not overly difficult: on the contrary, every student has thoroughly enjoyed a stimu- lating course taught by an excellent teacher. Doing college Work in high school is indeed a rare privilegeg it is hoped that in the future the program will be expanded at Southwest in order to give this valuable educational op- portunity to a greater number of students. are happy people A panel cliscussion on the American Revolution al- lows students to air their Wl1o's playing 'possumi' Family Living students use posters to aid Fusing metal with a their class discussions. 60000 F. arc

Anotlzer fouelzdoiun Indians Scalp Mission!! The tom-toms resounded wildly as the South- west Indians held the final powwow before the battle with the Shawnee-Mission hraves. Cheered on by the tribe, the proud warriors danced around the fire. In the Shawnee village, the champions listened complaeently to their oppo- nents, war cries as they sharpened their toma- hawks for another conquest. It was a cold, dark night when the tribes met in mortal combat. The Shawnee Indians suc- cessfully attacked first, but the valiant South- west hraves struck back with two swift blows. Rallying, the Kansans almost turned the tide of battleg but when the dust had cleared, South- west emerged triumphant. XVith whoops of ex- ultation, the eonquerors returned to their tee- pees, leaving a bewildered and crest-fallen foe and victory! 13
