These potential chemists receive first-hand experience in micro- scopic chemistry. Biology students are fascinated lay the squirming protozoa revealed to them through the microscope. Science Brings Knowledge, Too Whai is brewed in a witch’s caldron? This question, we have discovered, is not covered in biology or chem- istry. Kiology answers the more puzzling questions con- cerning virus, plant, and animal life. That peculiar odor which sometimes floats around the halls conies from the chemistry rooms where young, ambitious chemists are preparing a sulfur compound. The smell boldly an- nounces activity in the chemistry rooms, but equally interesting and instructive- cx| crimcntsare completed daily without incscapablenpublkit paoieA|)ui)iK' After the witch mixes her brew, there is a clash of thunder followed by a Hash of lightning. To acquire knowledge about these electrical forces, energetic souls take physics. For students with a quest for scientific facts our school offers an advanced course in biology. If a black cat crosses their path, they may choose to dissect him. These four sciences present a thorough understanding cf the composition of the world, but we never learn anything about the brew of the witches. BEVERLY BLADES. B.A.—Tri-Hi-Y. Biology . . . EDMUND T.

Mr. Meyer interrupts the showing of a film in Kconomic Geography to sire a fact the textbook hail also indicate !. Actions Of The World Recorded In HISTORY History is fascinating! As sophomores we enter classes in world history and are amazed by the many different cultures to be found on this earth. As we progress, so does our study of history. During our junior year, we approach United States history eagerly. We learn what made our forefathers act and what effect their actions had on this country. Our school offers several stimulating elective courses in this field. While studying Pan-American history many of us picture ourselves lying under a swaying palm tree on the Carribean. In our dreams we enjoy the easy-going life of these people. In another course. Far Eastern Affairs, we gain a clearer conception of the ancient customs of China, Japan, and neighboring countries. The opportunity to study the history and culture of ancient and modern civilizations is overwhelming and the only limit to our study is that only two credits may be earned in any one subject field in one year.

Concentration! The theorem provides some diRkull conjuring. Visual aids to the study of math arc to lie found in Mr. Metcalf's class when projects are due. MATH—Basic To Budgets And Brides C = mg2! Suddenly the equation was splashed on the front pages of newspapers, thought-provoking edi- torials appeared. The death of Einstein rccniphasi ed the importance of mathematics and stimulated advanced math students and wculd-bc ■■digit-masters” to want to carrry on his advanced thinking in relation to unlimited space and non-dimensional time. With the publicity given to the need for mathematicians and scientists, most of us redoubled our efforts, for practical application of our knowledge is frequently hard to find in our imme- diate lives. When G.E.D. tests revealed that some seniors needed mathematics courses in high school. Industrial and Commercial Math were added to the curriculum. To those of us who can not only spell trigonometry and plane geometry but also work the problems required, no need was fell. We not only reviewed Einstein’s theory but sought additional ways to add to our growing knowl- edge. With pride we realized that we’ve come a long way from 2 4-2=4! B. VAUGHN ASH. B.S..
