government and economies Men are capable of governing themselves. This fundamental idea was studied by seniors in re- lation to the government of the United States, along with the gov- ernment of our own state, Indiana. Students explored the various court systems, made com- parisions of our type of govern- ment to the government structure of other nations, and delved into the United States Constitution. The highlight of the year oc- curred when students in govern- ment classes were chosen to hold city ofiices and then went to meet their counterpart and learn about his position. Economic classes studied indi- vidual iinancial affairs, the mone- tary system of our country, and business concerns. Students were required to establish a budget for a model family. The stock market brought wealth to some and sent others to the poor farm. Economics Days gave the stu- dents the opportunity to view Monticello's industries in action. 41
