We must use leisure time to our profit and enjoyment. During three years we examine and read all types of writings: fiction, both long and short stories; essays, of aJl • orms; drama; poetry, both narrative and lyric; biography ; travel. Not only is material for study taken from the great storehouse of earlier generations, but that being published today in book, magazine, and newspaper form also furnishes us with food for thought and discussion. Hence we have a busy six semesters ' course in English. MATHEMATICS In the not so distant past little - Johnny often brought home for home work puzzling little mathematical brain twisters which in many cases were too tricky even for Dad, mainly because he had never had the chance to acquire an adequate knowledge of mathematics. Such is not the case today. For example, nearly every graduate of Park High of today has a knowledge of algebra and either plane or solid geometry. In addition many students have gained a sound foundation knowledge of trigonometry, the course offered here at Park High being on a par with a first year college course. In the future when Johnny brings home a brain-twister. Dad won ' t suddenly find himself in a muddle, not if he was a Park student! Master Minds

£ u , - y SOCIAL SCIENCE Social Science courses are truly named. To obtain knowledge of society is to serve the greatest need of the troubled and bewildered world of today. That our high school students may be trained to have an intelligent ap- proach to a harder task than our forefathers ever faced — that of helping to guide the nation through strange and perplexing problems to a happier and more helpful life — the Social Science work is offered. Not only are there courses in Current History, Civics, and Economics, which deal with the crises of our daily national and personal life, but also Early European, Modern, and American History, which give backgrounds and therefore a surer grasp of the meaning of life today. Research! SCIENCE Conservative fishermen Every day science becomes increas- ingly important in our daily lives. So that those who wish may learn some- thing about these changes, courses in biology, chemistry, and physics are offered here at Park High School. The biology students under Mr. Worun and Mr. Sanders get intimately acquainted with Mother Nature. The study ranges from the simple cell to those higher forms known as mam- mals, of which the human race is a member. Mr. Rogers chemistry students team to under- stand not only the simpler inorganic chemical re- actions, but also the more difficult reactions of organic chemistry. The physics classes are under Mr. Close and Mr. Berven. Mechanics are studied the first semester; electricity, the second.
