'vs' The taslg of teaching a deeper understanding of nature and the everyday things around us falls to the science department. Things that were entirely meaningless and drab formerly become simple but fascinating under its guidance. Here we learn the history of plants, the principles of electricity, the composition of the earth, the physiology of the human body, and similar information. The courses include Zoology, physiology, botany, chemistry, and physics. In botany the students work in the two gardens kept for their study. Lewis H. Fee is head of the science department. Completing the list of science teachers are L. C. Altman, W. W. Davis, Robert W. Godden, Oscar W. Rosenquist, A. J. Seltzer, Otto F. Sperling, Pauline Thompson, C. E. Wassberg, and W. D. Young.

.... All students are acquainted with the History Department as all have taken some phase of this subject. Under the capable guidance of eleven teachers, students explore the mysteries of past governments, their internal workings and their external activities, and learn of the development of the world from the age of the caveman to the modern age of cement and steel. In studying the political and economic trials and errors of the past, a student is better fitted to solve correctly the problems of present and future life. The History Department is headed by T. E. O'Connor and includes H. H. Fitch, Glen Seymour, Mary E. McKee, Alice Miles, Carl Mapes, Lutie Cheatham, Myrtle Sell, Creighton E. Hays, Jessie Weaver, and Evangeline Burns. Non' I.
