No student is penalized because of lack of skill provided that he has tried to develop the skill, taken part in class work, and hlas shown proper cooperation and good sportsman- s lp. INDUSTRIAL ARTS The main purpose of the Industrial Arts Depart- ment is to teach students the characteristics of such materials as wood, metal, leather, plastics, and fundamental electricity. A knowledge of both hand tools and machine tools is also important. The courses of study are planned so as to have an avocational ap eal. Some students will, and have acquired sufficient interest in Industrial Arts to lead them to their life's work. 25

, . Mrs. Eleanor Tuttle Algebra Commercial Arithmetic MATHEMATICS Mathematics provides a foundation for the successful pursuit of either business or professional careers. General math is a first year course which can lead two ways. It can be followed by either commercial math for those with business inter- ests or by algebra for those with more technical interests. First year algebra covers the four fundamental operations with literal and signed numbers, polynomials, formulas, and equations. Second year algebra covers both linear and quadratic eiuations, their solutions and graphs, exponents, roots, radicals, progressions, and the binomial theorem. Plane geometry, w ich generally follows first year algebra, develops concepts of space and logical thinking through the study of the prop- erties, measurements, and relations of lines, angles and surfaces of lane figures. Solid geometry is a continuation of plane geometry into three dimensional concepts. Trigonometry deals with functions of angles and solutions of triangles. Me- chanical drawing develops the ability to see clearly and express mental images with logic, accuracy and neatness. It helps the student to be self-reliant, thorough and persistent. Mr. David H.

Mr. Robert S. Andrews Chemistry Biology Mr. Edwin Lewis Chemistry Mr. Robert S. Brown Physics General Science Nelson SCIENCE The main purpose of General Science is to develop scientific attitudes and to create scientific thinking. The course touches the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. Biology, offered to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, is the study of the plant and animal kingdoms, the physiology of the human being, heredity, and conservation. Chemistry involves considera- tion of the metric system and its application to science, the properties of various elements and techniques for identifying these elements, and the application of industrial processes in pre aration of more im ortant chem- icals. Physics covers elementary principlles of mechanics ang liquids, ele- ments of electricity, and introduction to heat, sound, and light. Mr. james B.
