The social studies teachers are an important part of our educational program. Using situations from the past, they show us how to cope with problems of the present age. Through the medium of tests, written and oral reports, discussions, and lectures, we get a basic understanding of social studies. Mr. Reuben Lundquist, the eleventh grade social teacher heads the senior high social department. Due to overcrowded conditions, a new program was initiated in Willmar High three years ago, wherein the seventh and eighth graders spend a period of three hours each day learning social and English from the same teacher.

Have you ever wondered why an object burns, how a fish can breathe under water, or how lar it is to a star? If you have, you can find the answer in chem- istry, physics, biology, or general science. ln biology, the science of living things, the dis- section af frogs, the study of birds, and the human body are included. Chemistry and physics offer practical knowledge useful every day of our lives, whether we plan to further our education or not. By experimenting we are taught to learn by doing. An elementary course, consisting of the basic fundamentals of many phases of science, is taught to the iunior high students.

Because it is such a valuable subject, students are often recommended to take as much math as possible in high school. Mathematics is essential in every occupation-from homemakers with their daily budgets, to teachers who must compute grades, from engineers who prepare building plans to painters who proportionally mix their colors. Each uses some phase of calculation. Heading the mathematics department is Edith Emery, who teaches higher algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, and Trigonometry. Also teaching higher mathematics is Howard Iverson who teaches higher and elementary algebra.
