science enrollments increase An experiment in the making ----- Linda Bull helps Lynn Kinder with his apron. In our freshman year we enroll in one of Mrs. Grayce Bennett's three science classes. There are 92 of us this year, studying a little of every phase of high school science from seed life to physics. We make nuiniature motors .... which must generate power .... and we keep scrapbooks. Mrs. Irene LeBrocq gets us when we are sophomores, and we hardly catch our breath before we're outin the autumn winds with an insect net for that most important bug ..... er, excuse me, Mrs. LeBrocq ..... insect collection. In our junior year there's chemistry which we approach rather gingerly recalling during our un- derclassman days those undeniably ill-smelling Vapors which ernit innocently enough from little glass vials. Forty-two of us are trying it this year, juniors and seniors, and we find our experiments .... delving into mysteries of this higher science .... fascinating. We caught the enthusiasm for the sub- ject from our teacher, Mrs. LeBrocq, in the first weeks of the term. When our senior year finally arrives, the process of elimination has definitely taken us in hand. Only those with a rugged determination to make their place in the world enroll in Mrs. Jim Brasher's physics class. There are fifteen of us this year instead of the usual seven or eightg and as spring and graduation grow nearer, we are still full assail. Barbara Stedrnan, Kitten Barnett, Marilyn Woodson, G.W. Sorrells, Sara Jo Essex, Mrs. LeBrocq, Mrs. Bennett, and Mrs. Vera Ruth Simpson, and Noble Hill pre- Brasher discuss science equipment. pare for an experiment. pw Ip, my mam ,P ,J I 0

history students get help with current problems Mrs. Trice has just averaged semester grades. Plc' History in our school is not just a series of dull dates. Lively dis- cussions of President Eisenhower's Middle East policy or the abrupt ans- wers of Secretary of State Dulles are typical of our interest in contemporary affairs. Our An'1erican Weekly magazine is just the starter for these discussions. And our study of those events and people of long ago is interesting and fun. We drarnatize some of the more important events, sketch our impres- sions of others, and always have the opportunity to express our opinions in that all-important theme. iii

Mrs. Wood gives a speedtest. Commercial classes claim a popularity greater, possibly, than any in school. Knowing the practical value of under- standing business practices and skills, stu- dents continue to enroll in these classes in greater numbers each year. Miss MaryBarnes, a new instructor in this field, joined our faculty in September, bringing arnuch needed relief to Mrs. Helen Wood,who has taught at our school for seven years. commercial classes Lucy Huber works at the adding machine. plan for The future Miss Mary Barnes distributes test papers.
