fel . . . English-Language When we leave school and pass through the gateway into the future, English will be our greatest aid to successful living. To attain our goals in later life we must be able to use effec- tively correct English, both written and oral. The teachers of the English department give us a back- ground in the great literature of the world and teach us to be discerning readers. They teach us grammar and vocabulary and how to use them in writing and oral expression. Beyond the gateway of high school we must take our part in the affairs of the world. To become in- telligent world citizens we need to under- stand the people of other countries. By taking foreign languages we not only gain a fundamental knowledge of their speech but we also learn the customs and history of those nations. Thus, we learn to understand and enjoy our world neighbors. Rau' I: Miss Curry, Miss Hague, Mr. Rakus. Row 2: Miss Phillips, Miss Young, Miss Woods. Row 3: Mrs. Friar, Mrs. Lansing, Mrs. Hughes.

Here Work, Play, Adventure and Travel can bring us satisfying days. The Gateways? Here they are. Health, Skill, Imagination, Eagerness to learn, the Will to work--and Friends. Above all--Friends, both here and the world around-And Freedom. -A. L. KAYE

Science and Math . . . Science is a gateway to the future for high school students. Doctors, chemists, engineers and housewives need a knowledge of scientific principles. Laboratory experiments, gardening in the greenhouse and field trips have given us the working knowl- edge of science that we will need in later life. These classes pre- pare us for life in a scientihc world. ln life beyond the gateway of high school we will need to know how to think logically and clearly. The mathematics de- partment offers training in methods of reasoning for everyday living. Too, they prepare us for further study in science and for the numerous jobs that require mathematical knowledge. In the rapidly changing world of today mathematics is becoming more important to each person in his daily life. In busi- ness and professions an understanding of mathematics is essential. Watson.
