,aa lx r XATJ . -Pho 24 Science Department HE Science Department offers a four year course in science subjects. General Science under the supervision of Mr. Jas. R. Wilson is for Freshmen. Biology under the supervision of Miss Glendale Griffiths is for Sophomores. Chemistry under the supervision of Mr. Sanford Sweet is for Juniors. Physics under the super- vision of Mr. L. C. Elliott is for Seniors. It is the aim of the Science Department to give the student a useful knowledge of the principles of science, and to arouse in him an interest in, and an appreciation of what science has done for our modern civilization. He comes to realize that things do not just happen but that the principle of cause and effect is always in operation. Nature works through definite laws and in so far as he knows and understands these laws, he is in position to have nature work for him. General Science interprets to the student the reason and meaning of the things that happen about him and affect him most. Biology teaches him the laws of living things, both plant and animal. He studies, also, his own life processes and those factors that help or hinder them. Chemistry acquaints him with the raw materials out of which all things are made and the processes by which the elements are put together to produce most of the things in common use. Physics teaches him the principles and methods of operation of many machines, instruments and other devices so widely used today. Nor is the study of science all a matter of cold calculation. It has many human values as well. The study of the universal law and order of nature gives the student a greater respect for law and order among men. The study of living things gives a greater respect for all life and a friendship for all of nature's children. The student develops greater honesty with himself and with others, for he is dealing with definite facts and laws which he either knows or does not know. There is little room for bluffing . The Science Department has been growing rapidly. Three years ago there were twenty classes in the department. Now there are thirty- one classes. The class time is divided about equally between recitation and laboratory work. The department is well equipped for laboratory experiments and for lecture table demonstrations.

I2f' I-if-a i, mrpmmmfae I ii : 7 English Department English department of the Phoenix Union High School offers a full four year course in grammar, composition, and litera- ture. In addition to these courses sub-depart- ments of Journalism and Expression are main- tained. The purpose of the English course is to teach the students how to use their native language accuratelyyand effectively and to ap- preciate the great Works of literature in that language. The first is accomplished through the courses in compositiong the second by the courses in literature. , Q The Journalism division, under the direction of Miss Davis, is re- sponsible for the publication of the Coyote Journal, the weekly news- paper of the High School community. Many of the graduates from this department secure positions in the field ofjournalism, and by their success prove the value of this type of work in the High School. The Expression division is under the direction of Miss Gray. This department is growing in popularity with the students and the patrons. One or two special programs are given each year by this division, and members of the classes are often called upon to represent the High School in an oilicial capacity. Among the activities of the department are found the direction of the work in Debating and Oratory, and the assistance of many school organizations in presenting short plays. It is the hope of the department to build up this phase of our work and to become more helpful to the school. K .ANN.-Klllil. CHANDLER A.B. University of North Dakota.

u,L 5mn4 ',, im f f i ni 7394 IIMZQ II Q QQ Department of Foreign anguage HE United States has emerged from her iso- lation and attained a position amongithe world powers which increases the import- ance ofthe study of foreign language within her boundaries. Any foreign language serves as an excellent medium for gaining a mastery of Englishg any foreign language serves as a key to unlock the literary treasure house of its country. Even if the foreign language be Latin, in the e Words of President Coolidge, Its study inspires those ideals which all men are struggling for and which come only through the Classics. The study of any one foreign language naturally minimizes the diHiculties of the second language. However if a pupil plans to study Spanish or French he will Hnd it well worth while to study Latin first since from it are derived about ninety out of every hundred words in French or Spanish. French has been the language of diplomacy for the last three centuries. lt is the governmental language of treaties. It was used at Versailles, at Washington, at Genoa, at Lusanne. The scope of the French language is more apparent when you realize that there are nearly a thousand daily newspapers printed in French outside of France and her colonies. In our section of the country, Spanish is looked upon as having more commercial value than other modern languages. An expert on high school program building, in an investigation lasting six months in Los Angeles last year, arrived at the conclusion that one tenth of one percent of the pupils who study Spanish actually use it commercially. This statement is not made to discredit the study of Spanish nor is the previous paragraph presented to advance the interests of French as a modern language. It is made with the idea in view that an equal advantage is afforded from the study of either of these languages as far as the utilitarian aspect is concerned. The Department of Foreign Languages aims to offer material and content to the pupils that will give a good foundation for pursuing the purpose for which they choose the foreign language, whether it be cul- tural, commercial, or for foreign service.
