The Spoken Word . . . U. S. Grant helps to adjust students for the future and helps them to see the necessity of an education by offering excellent subjects in many fields such as French, English, Great Books, and many more. Shakespeare once said, There is a tide in the af- fairs of men which taken at the flood, leads on to for- tune. Once one has grasped the full importance of an education he has taken the first step toward acquiring a capacity for it. Making a pact with onself to set a goal and striving until it is found and achieved will help oneis de- termination grow even in the darkest moments. After one has accomplished his goal, he will have many memorable memories and he the proud possessor of a completed goal. Dehaters Pam Ellis and Bill Gill discuss plans for a future tournament. Beth Nail, Kathy Sandlin, and Linda Chapman add the final touches to yearbook copy before sending it to press. Mr. Chase shares some of his philosophy with his second hour class. ff Nancy Wilker- son and Bartow Bradley re- V hearse the cli- la mactic scene in Auntie Mamef'

Wisdom is the main goal set by our forefathers that we, the students, try to achieve by attending school. ' From the first day of school, our teachers help us learn the principles of being a helpful and use- ful citizen. If we retain this knowledge that is so diligently being given to us, we may not only suc- ceed in life for ourselves, but we will also prove to our teachers that their hours of preparing us for our future are not in vain. Learning can be made fun and enjoyable to all who are interested. If a capable student comes to school, with a will to learn, school will be no serious problem or burden to him. But if a student comes to school with an attitude of belligerence, he will be unhappy because he will consider his school- ing a waste of time. Schooling is very important to a student, and this importance is strongly accentuated by the teachers of U.S.G. Mr. Hostetter gives fatherly advice and counsel to problem child Billy Young.

the Written, Thought Displaying their knowledge of language and litera- ture is a job well-handled by U. S. Grant's English and language teachers. Longfellow, Sandburg, Shakespeare, and Browning, along with many other well-known poets, were studied thoroughly and completely by the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Openings to the outside world are offered through the foreign language department. A fluent knowledge of foreign languages helps to prepare U. S. Grant stu- dents for college and better job opportunities. Classes conducted in Latin, Spanish, and French help the stu- dents to widen their interest and broaden their knowl- edge of foreign peoples and their countries.
