Webster, a physics teacher, began a course in engineering lor seniors in Sep- tember l94-4. lt was a splendid idea, for it gave our school the distinction ot saying that it was the first senior high school in the District to oiler such a course. ln the course are tive subjects making a coordinated program. They are trigonome try, applied mechanics heat engines, indus trial processes and mechanical drawing, each ol which is related to the other. For the boys of the first class the course proved most effective. With the exception ot two boys who are in the Armed Services, all ol them are attending colleges that offer courses in engineering. Most ol them advise the boys of this years class that those taking the course should avail themselves ol every opportunity as the graduates have all lound the courses most beneiicial. rua-.401UI--1..1-.fuznfu.,-'na-nfmzuluzu-fur..yuanhz.lf-.anna-nys.:--:murmur ruff.:-.:u1..,-.. ,uae-1--.fur-.1 04. .4--. ,Hanf- .4--.yu 9101- .,- .fa .4---Ju-loan:-1.4 The present class began their work very enthusiastically.
