I drew three overlapping circles.

all three =11

math and history only 13-11 = 2
english and history only 19-11 = 8
math and english only 24-11 = 13

so math only = 59-13-11-2 = 33
english only = 51-13-11-8 = 19
history only = 35-2-11-8 = 14

add them all up and you get 100, so no students are taking none.
