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.

l.et's Talk Shop The department of Industrial and Vocational Education is made up of a complete drafting room with facilities for making black line prints, an up-to-date pattern shop with modern machines for the production of first class patterns, a medium size foundry with facilities for pouring grey iron, aluminum, and bronze, a machine shop with all stand- ard machine toolsg and a sheet metal depart- ment equipped with hand and power ma- chines as well as arc Welders and acetylene welding equipment. Our shops work together. After the ideas have been developed and the necessary drawings made by the draftsman, the pat- terns are made and checked by checkers in the pattern shop. After castings have been made by the foundry department, the ma- chine shop finishes off the job. These shops give our boys the advantages of exploring phases of industrial life. The job of the Drafting Room is to supply The men whose work it is to direct the classes in Vocational and Industrial Arts department are Mr. Edwin Birch, Mr. Joe Kauffman, Mr. Wayne Slater, Mr. Herman Seaman, Mr. George Zirkle, the Pattern Shop, Foundry, and Machine Shop with drawings of pieces to be made. The draftsmen are required to be able to develop the ability to express mechanical ideas graphically and clearly in drawing, using the accepted imodes and conventions, to train in neatness and exactnessg and to strengthen the constructive imagination. When the blue prints have been made, the pattern maker figures out how to make a pattern that the foundry will be able to cast in the required kind of metal to produce the casting that the draftsman has designed. The pattern maker must also have a knowledge of foundry practice and molding practice that is almost equal to the foundryman's. He must be an expert worker and must understand woodworking construction. Foundry work is a type of engineering that deals with melting metal and pouring molten metal into molds to form castings. The cast- ings are brought then to the machine shop, where the final step of manufacturing takes place. Mr. Harry Grubbs, Mr. Elwood Steiner, Mr. Clar- ence Ober, Mr. Alfred Vorhis, Mr. William Stew- art, and Mr. Neil Lottridge. 30
