IATTY GILBERT AND MAXINE QUALLS DISCUSS WITH THE DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION CLASS METHODS T0 SFIMUI ATF SAI FS Distributive Education is the formal name for what the rest of us usually call just the sales class. The members have formal class- room work in the morning under the direc- tor of the program, Miss Margaret Spicer. At noon they leave school for afternoon jobs in the downtown stores and offices to apply the principles that they learned in class. This year there have been 25 students in the class. Each of these boys and girls works an average of 30 hours a week. They are always a busy group, but this year has been a particularly active one. They completely outlead any other division in the number of tax stamps they bring ing they have participated actively in all the com- munity drivesg they designed and made a display for the state of Ohio, which was shown at the National Distributive Educa- tion convention. They earned money during the year by the sale of SHS scarfs and pennants and by their annual rummage sale to give their tradi- tional employee - employer banquet and dance. They have now started a scholarship fund which will be increased each year until it is finally made available to help some student further his education. MISS MARGARET SPICER

The members of the science faculty are Mr Shaffer Mr C J Kauffman Mr John Linn Miss Luther Barnes, Mr. Ralph Stickford, Mr. A B Gladys Leatherman and Mr Harold Warfel Chemistry. Physics. Biology. General Science. If you have the scientific urge you can find plenty of opportun- ity to indulge it during your high school years. And bear in mind the men and women who forced us into the atomic era once began with simple principles even as you and I. We have chosen to represent the de- partment with pictures of a biology class and of a class in psychology. These two subjects are growing in popularity with those students who have a flair for the scientific, Biology has been called the science of life, and its study concerns the origin, develop- ment, structure, reproduction, and distribution of plant and anmal life. Mr. Kaufmann's class is engrossed in a series of slides. Psychology deals with mental activ- ities. In order to get along with people you must be able to under- stand their thoughts and their be- havior. Psychology will help you to understand other people and to im- prove your own personality.
