This course was taught to BHS students by Mr. James N. Cook for the first time this year. It was composed of twenty-five seniors who were selected by Mr. Cook and the counsel- lors. When they entered the class in the fall they were surprised to find that Physiology was not simply a book study of the human body, but included using each other's blood when the study was concentrated on blood and cultivating fruit flies for the study of genetics. And least of all, none had ever thought of dissecting a sheep's heart, a cow's eye or a foetal pig while studying the human body. Even while the course was hard and required many hours of studying, it was profitable and enjoyable to the selected twenty-five. PHYSIOLOGY To illustrate a point, Bob Dryia makes use of the excellent charts available to physiology students.

Although Mr. Fischer' must leave us now, he is proud of the new developments which have come about in BHS during his time. Here he shows that Teaching methods im- proved greatly since the first day. Today students are getting part of their education with the help of mechanical devices, such as the opaque andifilm proiectors shown here. Our school has come a long way since 1940 and Mr. Fischer has been a part of it all. Balboa High School will continue to pro- gress and in the next fifteen years, its stu- dents will look back again. But those students will never know Mr. Fischer as we have known him and they will never know the meaning of his departure as we will know it.
