Ever mindful of the need for a well-infornied populace, our teachers constantly improve and expand their course of study. Each class is unique in its exact objective, yet all are needed for the students to develop an understanding of human behavior. American History classes give us not only a study of historical events but also understanding of the effect they have on man today. VVorld Cultures provides an appreci- ation of democracy as well as a realization of the inter- dependence of the nations of the world. P.O.D. and Civics present the rights and responsibilities of citizen- ship, the structure and the function of our government, and an awareness of life's opportunities. Economics teaches the student of American economy, sometimes called the eighth wonder of the world. Together they present a total picture of man's social problems and successes. l . !

A well-rounded program enables the students to obtain knowledge of musical history and of composition. Throughout the year the department has put forth great effort to raise money for chorus and band uniforms. Students, with the help of their parents and the general public, have been very successful in raising the necessary funds.

Students strive to determine and to develop their creative powers, while at the same time to gain a deep appreciation for professional art. This is encouraged by instruction in drawing, sculpturing, paint- ing, and designing. The art room is filled with an atmos- phere of business, yet there is a lingering feeling of seren- ity where each student can work without pressure. With modern materials of every nature plus individual atten- tion, the talents and admiration for creativity are prop- erly guided toward self-expression. 28 Vi , V f f T
