SCIENCE Buskctt Drummond The science courses are always popular with the students, as is shown by the fact that over one-third of the entire student body is enrolled in classes in that department. One year's work is offered in each of the following sciences: biology, agriculture, chemistry, physics, and geology: While one semester of commercial geography is given. ' Miss E. Catherine Drummond, B. S., M. A., has six classes of enthusiastic sophomores in her biology work. She is a sponsor of the Girl Reserves, and is much interested in nature study. Mr. Evans W. Buskett, B. S., M. E., chemistry and geology teacher, is the faculty advisor of the Spyglass, school newspaper, and his hobby is the study of minerals. Mr. A. L. Pry, B. S., A. B., came to Joplin High this year to succeed Mr. L. T. Evans in the agriculture and physics classes. While Mr. Pry has many special interests, we are inclined to believe that his chief interest is his charming baby daughter. X ' l ll I I, 1 Kr' A Chemistry Laboratory Class.
