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

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!

From the Hrst moment that Suburban opened its doors, the students were lcd by the light of knowle edge. It is the general belief of the Science Depart- ment that knowledge is an active process in which the student has the opportunity to apply the prinf ciples, learned in the classroom, to his outside life. Our well-supervised Science Department is guided by Mr. Carl C. Slaybaugh. General science, biology, chemistry, and physics are the courses that are oilered in this department, ln addition to classroom participation the students are encouraged by the instructors to prepare extra projects, These projects yary from the collecting of insects to the designing of rockets. A wide variety of equipment is oflercd to the Y. S. ll. students who are priyilcged to hayc the opportunity to take these courses. The carrying of the torch of discovery and under- standing is the ultimate in science teaching.
