Dividing, Du plicating Science, as well as many other helds, requires a good knowledge of mathematics. Courses in college preparatory math and business math were olfered to prepare students for college and for the business world. Emphasizing the principles of mathematics, the math teachers encouraged their students to think. In the work-study plan which was started this year, students, working in pairs, alternated one week of school work with one week of practical experience. Making use of the skills learned in the stenographic and business machines courses, senior students worked for banks, insurance com- panies, and certain city departments. Altogether there were approximately 700 students making use of our modern commercial department. ,-ag, P, V:21rrfh is much harder to solve than P345 as Pat Siegmann and lay Key cliscoxerecl in Miss .Xgnes Herbert's geometry class. SENIOR COMMERCIAL STUDENTS, jack Kaiser, Connie Taylor, Tom Kimmitl, jerry Reese, Margaret Carter, Tony Campagna, Barbara Gress, Barbara Ware.

Distilling, Dissecting, This year the importance of science was em- phasized more than ever as rockets, satellites, and baby planets were sent up by the United States and Russia. In keeping with the national trend to encourage more scientific achievements, Ed- mondson offered various science courses to its students-biology, physics, and chemistry. Biology students learned by observing the reproduction of hamsters, the development of chicks, and the structure of animal brains and kidneys. Both chemistry and physics students performed many experiments in our modern laboratories. Special equipment, such as analytical balances in chemis- try and plant and animal models in biology, aided the students in understanding these sub- jects. Our science teachers have an intense inter- est in stimulating independent thinking in their V, 3 students and in teaching them the whys and hows of their everyday life. Q4 ,R DISTILLATION OF WATER is engrossing to Dan Shaner, Delores Delaney, joan Mfindsor, Miriam Cayo, and Harold Napier. EECK, A MOUSE!

U.S. HISTORY, from Columbus to Eisenhower. is being taught by Mr, Hart to Charles Leasner, Barbara Mahlstedt, and Winston Byrd. Do you want to know where Aalorp is located. or when Picasso was born, or how that certain love story finally ended? Many students came to the library before or after school or during their ,H lunch periods to find the answers to these and many other questions. Classes met in the confer- ence room or in a corner between the encyclo- pedias and the fiction books, Due to our high enrollment of 1700 students, all available space was used. There is a book in the library to satisfy everyone's tastes and to fulfill most home- work assignments. On January 27 and 28, the seniors who were ui in the modern problems class participated in the Baltimore Model Youth City Council. With the students from five other high schools, they debated and voted on the ordinances and resolu- tions which had been prepared in class. United States history, modern world history, world his- 'R ' tory, and geography are the other courses taught f in our history department. 6
