Department of Social Studies Standing: Mr. Goyt, Mr. Seyler, Mr. Witmer, Mr. Gold, Mr. Kauffman, Mr. Robinson, M Meyers. Seated: Miss Mader, Mrs. Bird, Mr. Donaldson, Miss Gish, Mrs. Trout. In a world climate such as the one which now grips our times, there are probably no areas of study more sensitive than the one with which this depart- ment must deal. The degree of economic control, the neutralist position of Asia, and other linotty prohlemsh-these interpretations are in the hands of those men whose fields are the social seiencesf' Therefore it follows that this Held is one of those areas where heavy influence can be brought to bear on the developing minds of our youth. ln this school we are attempting to present an honest factual portrait of the history of our country and of our world so that every student can have an opf portunity to appreciate the gifts of a cumulative civilization and that these students can see the choices offered to them today and talic those steps to insure a greater personal and national happiness. 14 Battle of Crater-Boom!

Reid Miller, Raymond Schmidt, Philip Lehr, Donald Stankus. K1-If As in a math problem, our school was con- structed step by step with great ability and preci- sion. Each year math students advance to a new plateau of learning, beginning with math, stepping up to algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. All these plateaus sum up to the ultimate-advaneed math. This department is under the supervision of Miss Janis Snell. She, along with other math teachers, instruct the pupil to recognize and appreciate math' ematics in life. Math, like any other thing that one does, takes practice, time, and effort. The study of math will help the student to develop and maintain behavior of accuracy and precision, and to develop deductive thinking through proper reading habits, analysis of a problem, and the logical solution of a problem. Mathematics is related to experiences and prob- lems of everyday life, and provides an outlook and a means of understanding. ag + ban

H. begins as a leader in language. Already our school has the Hnest language department in our section of the state. We consider ourselves very lucky to have at our disposal a new addition to the language department-The Magnetic Recording Laboratory. This laboratory will help to guide and direct the pupil so that he will be taught and stimulated to think for himself. The head of this department is Mrs. Gladys Beattie, one of our efhcient French teachers. Our very complete language department offers French, Latin, Spanish, and German. ln addition to these four languages, Russian is offered through one of our school clubs. This language department offers great opportun- ity in helping our students to perfect their elective language. The study of these foreign languages will, in later years as well as now, help us to under- stand the world and the people around us. 15
