Albrecht, Howard Gaeb. cience Mr. Steen and Miss Hauck lead us through the required ninth grade general science in which we begin to get acquainted with our environ- ment and are introduced to various sciences. Mr.'Gaeb and Miss Nute hope that we will choose to take biology in our tenth, eleventh or twelfth year because they think all of us need to understand life itself, particularly our mar- velous selves. Mr. Smith, Mr. Albrecht and Mr. Lepley are eager to teach us physics and chemistry and Mr. Albrecht offers a course in pre-flight aero- nautics. Never in the world's history has the need been so great for knowledge in all of these fields. lt is fitting that in this year ofthe atomic bomb a physics class should be featured. lt's a bird, it's ci plane, it's a science class! l7

Ludwig. xlsicai gducafion Physical Education is the contribution made to the complete education of an individual through psych-motor activities. A healthy mind in a healthy body used to be considered only a motto of the ancients but with the emphasis on physical fitness brought about by the latest world conflict it has been accepted as a very modern idea. Physical fitness implies much more than mere physical well-being. It includes the proper attitudes toward situations which un- doubtedly may reoccur in later life. lt fosters the spirit of cooperation between individuals and between groups. It helps to educate the pupil in ways to improve and conserve his own health.

Not Pictured-H-Grace Miller, nu, . ivfi gocial gcience The Silhouette is about to record another year, a momentous year for the social studies: V-E Day, V-J day, the atomic bomb, the UNO, travel across the United States by air in fewer hours than it took days by the early railroads, reconversion, and problems foreign and domes- tic. To achieve a iust and lasting peace will be more difficult, more continuous, and less dramatic than the war. Solution of most of the current problems will need a knowledge of or a feeling for the basic principles of economics and social science. ln this age of speed and ease the great ques- tion, instead of the atomic bomb, may well turn out to be: Will the future citzens use enough time and eFfort to get the basic understandings in the social studies that will enable society to solve these problems wisely?
