Miss Moiles ilzliiollljl 0 I .L g , ll., , aiu -5, 'n l ' l l ll! ' I ,. A Science! A magic word indeed! A word that has resounded through the centuries! Science today may be compared to a small streamg tomorrow, it will be a mighty river surging deep into the future with everybody and everything dependent upon it. Science will be the keynote of the World of tomorrow. The men who have been thorough students ol science will be the beacon lights of tomorrow's world. Science has the power to create a greater civilization than this World has ever known. But if it is used by unethical in- dividuals tor purely selfish ambitions. it has the equally great power to utterly destroy civilization and send us reeling back into the dark ages. Science for the most part is made up ot two distinct elements-Chemistry and Phys- ics. What role will each play in the world of tomorrow? Chemistry will deal mainly with new metals, plastics, and synthetic materials, as well as jet propulsion and television. Physics will be depended upon a great deal in the reconstruction of cities and in the forma- tion ot new principles to help the average citizen in his everyday work. Who will have a knowledge of these subjects? It is going to be the boy and the girl in the school today. It will be they who will later go to the colleges and universities and become masters of the art of science. It will be they who will become the leaders of tomorrow's World. That they can make this world a better place to live is a truth not to be disputed. Nzrrin SHOWERS LELAND THOMAS RALPH Water.:

DEPARTMENT time living as skilled veterans ready to take their place in industry. This will come about because a group of men, about whom little is heard, are working each day to train us for these positions. These men are a small unit ol an import- ant group ot vocational teachers, in high schools all over the country, who are doing their best to assure the future of our graduates. With such men backing us our course must lead to a peaceful and suc- cessful World of tomorrow. we-Q, ffm IosrPH B.
