1939 Legenda Science and Mathematics Therefore X is equal to Y2—the Mathematics department, directed by Mrs. Dorothy Giesel, de partment head, and Miss Susan Orr, a newcomer to the faculty, offers algebra, plane and solid geom etry, and trigonometry. Experimentation, dissection, and testing, all come in the work of science-minded students. Chemistry, physics, and biology are the main sci- ences offered, with a special two semester course in general science. Working in a realm of test tubes, flasks, beakers, and chemical odors, students are guided through the mazes of chemistry under the tutelage of Mr. A. G. Dersch. Preparing a foundation for more advanced learning, students work on experiments, make numerous outlines, and explore the remote corners of the Water Works. Ferreting out the mysteries of light, heat, fric- tion, and lenses, Mr. K. C, Poulson’s physics class es find many things, before unexplainable, easily expounded.
