ENGLISH Dr. Carpenter. heacl Miss lmrrglunrl Nfiss Reclrnonci 'lihe English clepartnrent feels, ancl we think rightly, that the purpose of an English clepartrrrent is to teach stuclents to speak ancl write correctly. ancl to be able to express their icleas clearly, It is. there- fore, one of the most important clepartrrrents in the school. English is a recjuirecl subject in L'-High through the junior year, being an elective course lor seniors. 'Ihe English courses are not cliviclecl into grarrrrrrar. thenre-writing, ancl literature courses as in rrrarry schools. lnsteacl, all three are given much consiclera' tion in eacih class. Most ol us have written a tlrerrre a week sinee junior high school, so we no longer' look upon the task with such clreacl, lor' we have becorrre aecustornecl to expressing our thoughts in writing. However, writing alone is not all that we learn. YVe are introclucecl to goocl literatur'e-both rrroclerrr ancl olcl poetry' ancl prose. The seniors stucly chiefly English literature while the juniors cleal with the great American authors. ln all English classes in Ll-High from the seventh to the twelfth gracles we are given clrills in grarrrrrrar, punctuation, ancl spelling. These factors are criti- cilecl in the correcrtion of our themes, as well as the thought of the papers. ln University High School it is the ambition ol every stuclent to be perrrrittecl to enter Dr. Carperr- ter's special English class, To enter this class, one rrrust be in senior' high. The course is prinrarily' for We were very unfortunate this year in losing Sir. Matthews at the encl of the first semester. We knoyv he left our school for a better' position. so we are happy for his sake. hrrt we do rniss him very much. -'L IN juniors ancl seniors. but a few sophomores who arc orrtstarrclirrg in English work are also enrollecl. l'ncler Dr. Clarperrtcrs supervision our stuclent paper is puhlislrecl.

SOCIAL S'l'l,'DIES Nil. llaeluer. acting head Nlr. Clrary Nliss Iidsccnn XII. Houston Social studies has conre to be an essential part of our education. Ivith this in mind, the administra- tion of our school has made it necessary for us to take the six social studies courses ollerecl before we graduate. The topics that are covered in these courses nray be separated into two broad divisions. The stttcly of historical and present-day America and the study of the rest of the world. In the seventh grade we cover the geography' of three continents that are not usually studied in the cflementary school. Africa, .'Xustralia, and Asia. Ivorld history is studied in the tenth grade. Here we trace the development ol our present-clay civiliza- tion Irom Egyptian times down to today. Ihe historical America is studied in the eighth and eleventh grades, but in each course diflerent aspects ol' our country's history are learned. In the eighth grade we deal mostly with the way people in the colonial days made their living and the geography' of this country. In the eleventh grade wc- investigate the economic and political develop- ment. with much of our time spent on the Clivil Xvar period and the years following. l'roblems of present-day iXmc'rica are taught in thc' nlrrtlr antl twelltlr grades. Ihe rnntlr grade course deals with the social problems ol our corurtry in such units as crime, law enforcement, and the care of mental detectives. The twellth grade social studies course is divided into two main units, gov- ernment and economics. For eaclr ol' these units we take a semester to cover. During the year we take such topics as our Iederal government and the probleru ol' unemployment. 'Ihe two modern American courses are very elas- tically arranged so that dillerent ttnits may be singled our lor special attention as we wish. Our classes are not only taught by the lecture and discussion methods. but we are urged to give special reports. Sometimes these take the lorm ol oral reports read aloud to the class. while on other occasions they are in the form ol' written themes to be handed in. Sometimes a student panel is chosen. Xvhen that is the case, each member ol the panel reads especially upon a phase ol' a topic, and a panel disc trssion is held before the class. .Xclditional inlornration is ollerecl by class members not in the panel. Xve have other sottrces ol' inlornration besides those Itlsl mentioned. Lecturers are olten invited to tl1e classroom and slides or pictures are used as sup- plementary aids. Olten we take Iielcl trips. .Xs an example of this, the sophcmrores took a trip to visit the hydraulics plant, and the juniors and seniors took their bi-annual trip to Des Moines to see how our state government operates. Here, they visited both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and as an added interest took a conducted tour through the State Ilistoricgtl Nlusettrn.
