cademie tudies Provide Valuable Knowledge Students here are making use of our well-equipped library. ln order for the many qualities of a student to be strengthened and broadened, the academic pro- gram of Wausau Senior High has been developed into one of wide and varied scope. This program completely covers the subject matter required in the college preparatory and vocational training courses. if 'M' X. ' 4 X . t ssrr L ,gg 'U' Eff -f Larry Emma Jeanne Furr Larson Wendgrf ln any and all high schools, academic instruction is the primary concern. To insure that knowledge will be effectively gained, the instruction must be kept interesting, challenging, and on the intellectual level of all students. This task falls on the shoulders of the teachers, whose responsibility it is to help students gain an understanding of fundamental knowledge as well as beneficial attitudes and ideas. In addition to these things, they must also show the students how to put this knowledge to construc- tive use. This section, therefore, is dedicated to the ad- ministration of Wausau Senior High, and to the qualified instructors who make up our fine faculty. Students here give an excellent example of how the valuable knowledge acquired during thc high school years can be fleXiblY applied to our daily life. it-,.,,,.,. Ig, 3, .g,,,,. , ,... ,.

So that we may better use this tool, the English Department at Wausau Senior High works unceasingly to impart to us, the students, a more complete knowledge of our lan- guage. ln our English curriculum we are offered a wide range of subjects. All three years of high school we are given courses that stress the fundamental ideas of grammar and literature. However, in our last two years, we are given an opportunity to specialize in our studies, according to our particular interests. We cannot imprint enough upon our minds the importance of a well-rounded background which will enable us to better communicate with each other. We, the students, as well as the teachers strive for excellence in self-expression.
