Social Studies Build Foundation Of Future Margie Fieig, Ken Kraus, and Gerald Fischer discuss their recently returned government test. By identifying and locating the countries which they are studying, world history students, Joan Krampe and Mary Lee Hedinger, are better able to understand the devel- opment of the physical boundaries of the countries. Especially appropriate at a time when our country is precariously perched on the brink of war, social stud- ies prepare the students to face the future with hope and confidence. In order to acquaint each student with our country's past and impending future, an extensive social studies program, including U.S. history, world history, world geography, and government, is in effect. The principles taught in these courses will facilitate the student in solving his own problems and accepting the duties of an American citizen. The Debate Club renders itself useful by instilling knowledge of current affairs through research, discus- sion, and active debate. 14 To familiarize her class with outstanding characters in U.S. history, Marilyn Snyder gives a report on LOVE IS ETERNAL by Irving Stone.

The outstanding quality of business is that it affords an opportunity for advance- ment according to individual merit.

This profession requires potential leaders, people rich with ambition, initiative, and pride in their work. Above all, business requires a full exertion ol one's faculties and responsibility under all circumstances. Every activity of business is involved with people, from the investor to the consumer. Business can truly be called the occupation of the people. With the aid of dictation discs, Diane Weyer, Judy Boeckman, Diane Oeding, and Mary Bolte increase their speed.
