Mr. Riechers, Mr. Kinsman, Mr. Cahill. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMEN Upon the men of this department rests the responsibility of teaching the fundamentals of mathematics, higher and lower, to the entire school. With the increasing role that mathematics is playing in the present generation, the responsibility is greatly increased. Radar, logistics, and all the other various phases of wartime mathematics have their fundamentals in everyday algebra, geometry, and trigonometryg and much of their successful usage in LFA students can be traced directly back to these members of the faculty. - Under the leadership of Mr. Hubert H. Riechers, the department has func- tioned elliciently, offering new courses such as elementary radar. Aiding Mr. Riechers are Mr. Carl VV. Cahill and Mr. Blair Kinsman, both of whom have contributed to the program as much as the former. To these three, the Academy owes much, for in their respective phases of the program each excels, and in their excellence have shown Academy students that mathematics is not the lifeless subject as formerly believed.

E GLISH DEPARTME Under the capable leadership of Dr. john WV. Shank, the English department this year has offered the students of LFA more and better facilities than ever enjoyed be- fore. Dr. Shank, however, was not alone in his task, for skillfully aiding him in the comprehensive program provided for were Mr. Dana VV. Niswender, Mr. Edward Fleer, Mr. Kendall S. Pennypacker, and Mr. Walton E. VVetzel. The entire schedule was presented on a more advanced basis than ever before, thus giving the student body material previously believed suitable only for older students of English. Leading the English classes was the course of English V, offered only to those seniors who have merited promotion to this class by superior work in previous years. This course, however, was closely equalled by the sections of English IV, and differed only in that the material was solely American literature and was probed into slightly less than in the more advanced section. Both of these courses offer especially much to the student of today when history is being written and comprehension of Various phases is possible only through the written word. In the lower sections emphasis was laid on the structure of the English language, and here again the English department provided new and better phases of course work than ever before. Notable works of great poets, novelists, and essayists were oHFered to stimulate the student's interest. In all the sections, the entire department has given to the LFA student a more interesting and comprehensive program than at any previous time. Mr. Niswender, Mr. Wetzel, Dr. Shank, Mr. Fleer, Mr. Pcnnypackcr.

CIENCE DEPARTME Chemistry, physics, biology, general science, chemistry-physics, tutor- ial physics, and tutorial chemistry are the subjects which come within the province of the science department, headed by Mr. Edgar N. Sanford, physics teacher. The other two members of this department are new this year-Mr. George H. Blackwell, teacher of chemistry, and Mr. Bert H. Grove, teacher of biology. This year was the beginning of a new science program which is de- signed to coordinate with the new curricular program. For the juniors who plan to take chemistry and also physics there is offered a new course which tends to unite the two subjects-chemistry-physics. Other newly inaugurated subjects are tutorial chemistry and physics. All of these new courses were initiated chiefly to further student understanding in normally diliicult subjects. A further addition is the new biology laboratory which is modernized with the newest equipment available under the current conditions. The physics and chemistry laboratories have also been modernized by the purchase of new materials so that now all laboratories have available practically any equipment desired. All of this work would have been impossible without the combined effort of the members of the depart- ment working together, and a debt is owed to this group as great as to any organization of the school. Mr. Blackwell, Mr. Grove, Mr. Sanford.
