W Science Promotes World Progress Wig.: 5 HILE Miss Ruth Bell's biology classes were busy dissecting earthworms and learning the bones of the body, her science classes spent their time studying the general science field. Mr. Maurice Fowler's physics class conducted experiments to find out how much energy is needed to run up a flight of stairs. His chemistry class became well aware of the hazards of that class after a few of them became ill when some gas they were working with got out of hand. Mr. Harry Shadle taught seventh and eighth graders science. ln this class they leamed about the scientific side of nature and life. One of their projects was to see how many types of leaves they could find and name. Maurice Fowler A . B.

Languages Present Challenges . s ,sr O many people, Latin may be considered to be a dead language, but not to the students of Miss Madge Mossman's Latin class. Here they leamed N6 the conjugation of the various verbs and, most important, how to understand .,,,,, the language. Pupils of Mr. P. 1. Garcia's classes went around speaking Spanish to all they met. With fellow classmates this worked out fine, but those who did not take the subject had just to nod in agreement to save embarrassment. Madge C. Mossman Ph. B.

Mathematics Improves The Mind IGHER mathematics was a subject of much interest to many high school students. It was also of interest to Mr. Burton Chandler who taught math. The classes included algebra, plane geometry and trigonometiy. Eighth graders received their knowledge in arithmetic from Mr. Isaiah Owen. He also taught a class in general mathematics for freshmen, which included a review of the arithmetic for the preceeding year. The seventh grade classes were taught by Mrs. Blanche Zuercher. The course of study for this year was in solving story problems, working with fractions, and a brief preview of algebra. Mrs, Blanche Zuercher ex- plains the fimdamentals of interest problems to seventh ade math students Jerry gl' v Wagner and Henry Timman. Burton Chandler B. S.
