PHYSICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Do cosmic rays intrigue you? Would you like to know more about the atom? What is a nucleus? Chemistry students find the answers to these questions and many others ranging from the reason that fudge hardens to the method for finding the simplest possible formula of a com- pound. The motion of the universe is one of the topics covered by physics students. They also delve into the secrets of a prism, light waves, heat, motion, gravity. These sciences and electronics have laboratory periods when students prove certain fundamen- tal laws by experimentation.

Zoology students learn about the biology of animalsg physiology classes chart the functions of the body. Physiography explains the develop- ment of the earth's surface through the ages.

Row COMMERCE DEPARTMENT Almost faster than the speed of light, Short- ridge typists move their fingers across the type- writer keys. As they become more advanced, these typing students can learn the hieroglyphics of shorthand, too. Of course there are many other phases of business besides typing, and Shortridgers a1'e offered many of these courses. Machine calcula- tion and business arithmetic teach the elements of computation for commerce. Retail problems and business law are two courses for the pros- pective business man. No matter what the course in the commerce department, the student will gain practical busi- ness knowledge which will prepare him for his career. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Strike up the bandlu might be the theme song for the Shortridge band directed by James B. Calvert as it plays at the football games and for school auditoriums. Girls have joined the band for concerts, but only boys march. The Shortridge orchestra under the direction of Will F. Wise appears with the senior play and gives two auditoriums. The many singing groups at Shortridge include the Girls' Concert Choir, the A Cappella Choir, Madrigal Singers, and the Training Choir. The choirs present programs all over the state. Other courses offered Shortridge musicians are harmony and music appreciationg truly the mu- sic department can say, Let all our lives be music.
