Geraldine Collier. Roscoe Hourigan, Don Edwards, and Doan Helble check re- sults ol an experiment by using the microscope in Mr. Money's college prepara- tory chemical class. Students of today will be the scientists of to- morrow! And the scientists of tomorrow must learn of the discoveries of the past and present day. It is the task of the science department to teach these people the technical side of such discoveries. Tomorrow’s doctors, nurses, chemists, and other scientists are offered the course of college preparatory chemistry with college prepara- tory physics as a prerequisite. Those who do not have the required math or do not wish to go into the subject so deeply may choose the courses in applied physics or in nurses’ chemis- try. Entirely different from any of the subjects listed above but still an important side of science are the ologies . The names of biolo- gy, zoology, and physiology to many suggest classes that are dull and uninteresting, but when a student comes to dissect frogs, to re- move appendages from the grasshopper, to scale fish, and to touch slippery shakes, he changes his mind. He also learns the construc- tion of the human body. 28

In the commercial workshop are Miss Balluif. Fran- ces Carp, Marilyn Korn. Janico Park, and Mr. Ringstrom. I I) II II I! II I! I L The complexities of the modern business world demand workers with specialized know- ledge. Our commercial department offers an abundance of courses to the student seeking to arm himself with such training before ventur- ing forth into business. Included are courses in office machinery, salesmanship, and commercial law as well as the more familiar typing, bookkeeping, and ac- countancy courses. In addition to the standard commercial class- es. a system has been devised in connection with the retail selling course whereby stu- dents can spend half a day in school and the other half working at one of the jobs they have studied. By this means they benefit through actual experience on the job. Joyce Henzcn works at a local retail store in connection with the retail training course. Commercial instructors, seated: Wal- lace Evans. Miss Adelaide Balluif. and Michael Dardis; standing. Miss Thoo Schmid. Miss Mildred Blair, and Miss Lois Hillemeyer.
