Science Members of Mr. Brennemen's Physic's class are intrigued with the wonders of Science. Whether studying atoms, amoeba, or anatomy, science courses at DHS offer a substantial back- ground for future technicians, lab assistants, or pharmacists. Because an understanding of physical and chemical science is important in this age of scientific development, it is re- quired that each student successfully complete one year of science. This year may be spent in either the study of Biology or Earth Science. Various phases of physical behavior of the human body are studied in Physiology. Students primarily interested in the functions of plant and Senior students of Mr. Money's College Prep Chemistry class are pictured above working on experiments in the laboratory. 16

In many instances a student finds it fun and convenient to attend school part of the day and work the remaining time, still earning school credit toward graduation. This plan is made possible through the efforts of the Commercial Department in Davenport High School. The Commercial Department includes courses in Typewriting, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Office Ma- chines, Clerical Practice. Merchandising, Industrial Geography, and Commercial Law. Actual business experience for interested students is provided by the Commercial Workshop activities. One period every day is volunteered by senior stenography students who find it impossible or inconvenient to work port time in the work exper- ience program. The courses offered by the Commercial depart- ment provide a beneficial background which enables students to take their places in business offices with the minimum of readjustment.
