Preparation For Tomorrow The science department has been receiving ever increasing prominence since the outbreak of the war. Certain parts of these courses were empha- sized in order to better prepare our youth to serve their country. In his chemistry classes Mr. Bowers simplified the complexities of valences, atoms, and molecules for the seniors. Senior science, instructed by Mr. Peters, acquainted the students with the laws of nature. The juniors became familiar with physics under the direction of Mr. Herlinger and Mr. Peters. Biology was made easy through the explanations of Mr. Herlinger. Mrs. Kooser clarified the mysteries of general science for the freshmen. To prepare its boys and girls to take their places in the business world, Norwin has maintained a comprehensive commercial program. Business science and bookkeeping students received their training from Miss Davis. Miss Saunders drilled seniors in the shorthand and office training. Exact- ing standards were set by Miss Santner for her typing classes. Miss Mac- Master informed sophomores concerning shorthand and commercial ge- ography. junior business training was taught to the freshmen by Mrs. Geer. Offering opportunity for reference and research work has been and is the aim of the Norwin library. Nliss Sowash has given freely of her time and energy to make this aim a reality. Norwin's curriculum also included the fine arts subjects-music and art. The musically-gifted students were aided in the further development of their talents by Mrs. Kearney. Mrs. Sargent directed the efforts of artistically-minded students. 14 KOOSPR
