The Science Department TEACHERS of science, whether it be physical or biological, or a combination of these, have one great advantage, or one less task. Science seems to be a niagic vvord to the average student, a key-hole to endless adventures For this reason, our task is lighter. We do not need to create an interest in the average, normal boy or girl-it is here. It becomes our duty then, to direct this interest-intelligent curiosity, if you VVHL along prontable and vvorth wvhHe Hnes. VVhether vve are trying to make clear the life processes of plants or animals, or simplify the nqysteries of electrhjty, or iHustrate the lise of chernical equations, or delve into the mysteries of the heavens or of the earth, is an indifferent matter. Through any and all of these fields, We reach toward the same goals: appreciation of what we have and have developed, ability to dis- tinguish the real from the false, and Willingness to set a goal and refuse to qtut untilitis attained. By our efforts toward these objectives we hope to contribute our bit in the Great Plan, and possibly start on his or her Way, some future Newton, Pasteur, Mme. Curie, or Herman Schneider. -MARY DE ARMOND. Left to right: De Armond, Jones, Vun Schlicten, Greensmith, Dunkel, Doufrson. E281

The Social Studies Department THE teachers of social science realize that from the teaching of social science our boys and girls get most of their conceptions and beliefs con- cerning government, democracy, nationalism and internationalism. In fact the fruits of society are grown from social, economic and political food from these studies. We hope to develop in the pupil a spirit of co-operation with others in patriotic, wise, and uplifting serviceg and this, it is thought, may best be done by presenting great leaders as examples worthy of imitation. It is felt that every effort should be made to imbue every boy and girl with the fundamental principles and ideals for which America has always stood, that they may understand the foundation of their democracy, and the deep significance of American citizenship. All of this we hope may lead our boys and girls to aspire to such national and international ideals and relationships as 'will best work toward the achievements of love of justice, peace, and democracy throughout the whole World.-T.

The Mathematics Department THE teachers of mathematics at the Western Hills High School aim to develop in their students an understanding and an appreciation of the need of mathematical equipment. An effort is being made to make the Work broad enough to interest all students and sufficiently intensive to offer encouragement to those who have special attitudes and abilities and who may plan to enter into fields of advanced study. Pupils are urged to bring into class for solution problems of their home, school, or community life. Problems in physics, surveying, simple engineering, and statistics are solv- ed. Pupils are taught to become proficient both in interpreting and express- ing by graph, statistical data. They gradually acquire the ability to discriminate and generalize. They learn to think clearly and logically, and to express their thoughts correctly, connectedly, and to the point. Because of daily practice in refiective thinking, the students of mathematics are being prepared to solve new and unforeseen problems in life. -Jsssm L.
