The history of our state, nation and world is part of our life in the twentieth century. Our homes, clothing, food, language, and entire civilization have developed from the past. Although many newr inven- tions and discoveries have brought better living to our nation it has been by the past successes and failures. It is also essential that the youth of our nation should know their government and how someday they will be a part of this great nation. 22

Languages Language Arts—the one subject which none of us can escape, nor should we try to, for beside being a bridge of understanding between all people of the world, in many ways this one subject determines each person's success. A person must be able to speak good English, write correctly, and be able to express his ideas to others. Subjects of which English is composed are grammar, literature, and spelling. Courses to improve writing technique such as composition and journalism are also offered. Our language department does not stop with English, however; Spanish, French, German and Latin are open to any student who wish to take advantage of them. Mrs. Margaret Adev Spanish Foods P. A. S. F.

Science In years past, the three R’s were considered to he the most important part of the student s education. Nowadays, however, science has risen to take its place among the fundamental parts of today’s education. From the practical standpoint science courses like biology, physiology, and applied science can be highly helpful to the student in his later life, both in business as well as in the home. Chemistry and physics are also offered to students and start many on the way to being the scientists of tomorrow. Frank C. Guffin Joe W.
