He is a member of our State Legislature too. References! Yes, these seniors in Miss Rimmerls class are comparing the indus- tries of Blueheld in 1890 With those of 1940.

SOCIAL SCIENCE The duty of these faculty members to the right, is to build citizenship through history and government. The students in this department are really interested for they'll turn over half a library to get their reports and floor talks ready. And such things, as community plans, please them too. The American History class quiz in assembly proved just how practical a course in American History can be. It is the study of the gradual development of a great nation, a great democracy! Demo- cracy-that reminds us-Thelma Wilson, Winner of the American Legion Scholar- ship, can tell us all about our Democracy and Why We should be proud of it.

to Ong use bra, but many enjoy trigonometry and drafting, especially the engineering en- thusiasts. That's a very fortunate bent however, for in the study of mathemtics they de- velop a solid foundation for further pur- suit of the sciences and we are living in an age when the importance of science in our everyday life is recognized. Some of the important results of progress made in science are the mechanical advances that we just take for granted in this modern age-things like the Edison lamp that lights the world and that marvelous achievement, the radio. The debt which the modern world owes to science is incalculable. Amer- ica's discovery was a result of improve- ments of the mariner's compass. Science includes such branches of know- ledge as astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, Zoology, and botany. Excel- lent courses in the important branches of science are available to Beavers who are in- terested. They have general science, bio- logy, chemistry and physics. The tendency of the times is to apply scientific methods to every important ac- tivity of modern life-in the factory, to increase the output-in salesmanship, to advance the art of selling-in education, to encourage the seeing, finding and test- ing of knowledge in subjects like sociology and economics. The science students are constantly find- ing new and fascinating worlds to explore! Below are the Beaver faculty memb rs of the mathematics and 'ence' ents. H. H . BOLEN Science LAURA V.

Then there's Miss Bartlett of the Practical Arts Department who will tell us that diet has a great deal to do with strong bodies and this is one of the important phases of the work taken up in both girls, and boys' foods classes, and in the preparation of food both boys and girls show expert cul- inary power. Ah, such cakes .... And the lovely, stylish garments made in the Home Economics Department would lead one to believe that the girls there really learn by doing. They know what the well-dressed student should wear. Mr. Blessing's course in mechanical drawing is a sure foundation for engineering and architecture.

Mary Moseley and Phyllis Bryant. Carl Nlartin, Frances Munsey, Betty Bailey, and Maurice Rierson are being served by butlers-Billy Carney and Stultz Gravely.
