Each day over seven hundred students visit one lj class rooms to learn something of physics, chemistry, or bi every physical law which enters into our modern life is studied in the This study is made more interesting by various experiments of scientific which are carried out in the laboratories. In the chemistry classrooms and rudiments of the subject are taught, and this course serves as an excellent for college chemistry. l Biology proves very interesting, for there are many subjects bacteria, fungus, cir- culation of the blood, yeast, insects, foods and digestion, their roots, leaves and fruits, respiration and the nervous sys- tem, are only a few of the many subjects considered. In the spring and fall, groups Q' of students may be found hunting for 55, specimens in the woods near the school. fl VVhen they return to school they examine these specimens under the microscope and some are mounted for a permanent col- lection.

In the Sophomore year a survey of American authors and literature is emphasized with a sprinkle of English classics. it In the Junior year short stories and argumentation are studied thoroughly. In the first part of the Senior year essays are emphasized and in the last half a survey of English literature lfs is studied as an excellent preparation for college. Along with this regular course there are many electives which may be taken as a substitute for a regular course or as an added interest. by The course in Modern Literature is very popular with Seniors. The course in dramatics has A been made particularly attractive by the addition of the Little Theatre. The Public Speaking ft class prepares students to take part in debating and the extemporaneous speaking contest xg for the Drury Cup. Excellent prepara- L53 tion for newspaper work is given by the Journalism courses. There is also a class in special composition for those who are particularly interested in it. Language M study and the principles and practice of it. writing are given with every course in literature. Reading habits and literary AQ discrimination are encouraged by super- lg vised home reading. The English depart- tlp ment is especially active in its aid and support of extra-class activities.

History If you can choose history as one of your major subjects, you will have a very inter- esting course. One semester of Ancient History and one semester of Nledieval History are usually studied in the same year. As a sequel, hflodern History is offered. Then the course of American History and Civics is required of every senior. This course requires a certain amount of work be done on current events. In some classes each student makes a notebook while in others the class as a whole makes one. If you have any ability in dramatics, you may be chosen George XVashington during the Constitutional Convention which is dramatized in some classes. Later you may take the part of Douglas or Chase in the discussion on the Compromise of 1850. Another very interesting course of the History Department under Mr. VVinans is the one semester course in Social Problems. Some of the subjects the stu- dents study in this class are immigration, child labor, unemployment, crime and punishment, women in industry, and con- ditions for the deaf, blind, and feeble- minded people. lylaterials for these sub- jects are taken from newspapers and current magazines. Very often commit- tees are sent to investigate conditions for themselves in VVarrensville Farm, Feder- al Reserve Bank, City Council, Federal Court, Municipal Court, and County Jail.
