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.

TliIE JOPUMO 1939 HOME ECONOMICS Recd Looper The enrollment in the home economics department grows steadily from year to year, as the girls realize that cooking and sewing have come to be recognized as necessary arts. Two years of both cooking and sewing are offered. The sewing classes with an enrollment of 152 girls are supervised by Miss Ethel Reed, B. S. The girls gain a practical knowledge of all types of fabrics, and make practically every type of clothing for themselves. Miss Reed also has charge ofthe Rotary girls, and outside of school hours finds time to do club work. She also enjoys driving, and finding new stations on the radio. There are 87 girls in the cooking classes directed by Mrs. Elizabeth Jaccard Cooper, B. S. The girls, under Mrs. Cooper's direction, have helped to serve many dinners and banquets. The cafeteria, also under her supervision, is managed so efficiently that a very large proportion of our 1,200 enrollment is served daily in the three thirty-minute lunch periods. Outside of school hours Mrs. Cooper finds time to care for her flower garden, from which many flowers are gathered to brighten the cafeteria. l A Laboratory Cooking Class. F I, r r
