Mrs. Fischer, Ron Barman and Shirley Bowman in a French conference. Even though we may never take part in a Cape Canaveral rocket test, we can still learn and apply our chemical and physical sciences that we learn here at AlWood. Under the watchful eyes of our calm and collected science teachers, we learn by experimenting and by the actual application of scientific theories. Mathematics may be the same old stuff, but at AlWood we have a shining new face, namely Mr. Kittelson's, to teach it. He always tries to present the same old math to the students in a very interesting way. This way we learn our math and enjoy it, too. Mr. Metzger teaches many freshmen and sophomores in his general math course. Mr. Minder initiates Jerry Swanson, Scott Lowery and Peggy Johnson into science.

Senior English class concentrates. Two hundred thirty-two active AlWood students file into our English classrooms every day to get their daily dose of literature, grammar, and spelling. With the presentemphasis on communication skills, every teacher is urged to be an English teacher, but of course the main task falls on our three capable English instructors, Mrs. McGaughy, Mrs. Weech, and Mrs. Bloomberg. They must prepare the fifty per cent of our graduates entering college every year for the demanding English classes of the colleges and universities.

Some day one may recognize the name of a high executive and say, He studied business at AlWood High. In our business department at AlWood we can learn and apply the rules of typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice under the guidance of Mrs . Swanson. In typing we learn to type important letters to big businesses; in shorthandthe girls take dictation from an imaginative and handsome executive; in bookkeeping we learn how to make and spend money; and in office practice the girls learn, among other things, how to find something once they have filed it. 30
