an comst'vuct'Con Through practical instrllctions and flffltllll'x1If'l'l:l'fLl'1', mechanical drawing and shop boys pre-para' for future work and hobbies, and also serve the school. CHARLES AULT concentrates on his drawing at one of the draftsman's desks in room IS6. FLOYD NEWVINE takes a tasp to his new project as he begins rounding off the edges. BILL MCGOWAN is busy touching up the fine points on his end table. DAN SENDTKO employs the band saw to bring a piece of wood down to the right size. MR. BEN 0. DAMBERG, mechanical drawing teacher, gives JACK HILL- MAN, DEAN OUSTERHOUT. and EMIL BOCADE instructions in making maps and blueprints for civilian defense workers, a project of all mechanical drawing classes this year. General shop, taught first semester by Mr. Irving johnson and second semester by Mr. Willizim McLeod, of- fers wood work, sheet metal, and ma- chine shop. jobs are assigned only first semesterg after that the boys choose their field of work. Scenery and settings for the auditorium and equip- ment for other school events are pro- ducts of shop and repair work is an- other of its services.

science Biology, physics, chemistry ojvr students a chalice to ox- poriment with the known and search for the unknown. BEVERLY DENGLER and STUART YNTEMA dissect a frog in a biology class. Students of biology study basic scientific laws, animal life, and human problems through special projects such as drawing a grasshopper from a specimen and dissecting a frog. From this study, experiments, and projects, they get background for health, recreation, and hobbies. Knowledge of biology is useful in foods, chemistry, and physics classes. To promote and continue interest in the broad scope of science is the aim of the Biology Club. Officers for the year were Ruth Hauffe, president, Carol Heineman, vice-president, and Marjory Edwards, secretary-treasurer. The club conducted the Tuberculosis Seal sale and joined other clubs in buying a bond. BOB BARGERT and GLADYS SCHMIDT, working with burettes and Bunsen burner, respectively, toil away on a current experi- ment in chemistry. The building up and tearing down of many chemicals, fun- damental laws of chemical science, and principals involved in various industries are but a few of the problems taken up in chemistry classes. Leaders of the Crucibles, an honor club for boys maintain- ing a strong B average in all subjects for the first semester were Norman Gremel, president, Bruce Otto, vice-president, and William Dirker, secretary-treasurer. Norman again re- sumed the duties of president the second semester, Lester Pat- terson, vice-president, Erick Gustafson, secretary, and Don Foulds, treasurer. The Alchemists is a similar chemistry club for girls having the same scholarship requirements. Officers the first semester were Marion Farmer, president, and Carolyn Michel, secretary- treasurer. Second semester officers were Carolyn Michel, presi- dent, Shirley Waddell, vice-president, Laura Jeanne Smith, secretary, and Gladys Schmidt, treasurer. LENORE VASOLD, KEN VASOLD. and MR. KENNETH POULSON discuss a problem of mapping the course that an airplane should take if the wind is blowing so many miles an hour, if the speed is so great, and the distance is so much.

mat ewaat-ics Exact Sl'il'll-KY' of nurnbers and space gets special atten- tion ns this training is lwressary for war production. IRMA EICIHHORN demonstrates a proposition to fellow ma- thematicians in a geometry 2 class. Students gain practical experience, poise, and confidence by demonstrating and ex- plaining their work in front of others. DAVE oEMINts and LESLIE WARD. algebra 4 students, slave away on some brain teasers in class. MARIAN REMER. ,IOANNE MILES. DEAN OUSTERHOUT. and MERLE PAGE in the front row, and BIuIcE SCHWARTZ and BETTY JANE SMITH in the back row, are studying their theor- ems so that they will be able to explain themfshould they be called on. Five pointed stars were constructed and attractive designs were added along with Christmas greetings to Mrs. Dorothy Giesel, geometry instructor and department head, and Miss Louise Morse, assistant. Several students gave a spelling bee for the P.T.A., using mathematical terms. ln the latter part of the year, students made Loci booklets and had a contest for the best covers. General applications useful in any field are increased vo- cabulary, excellent reasoning power developed by thinking problems through, poise attained by explanations and demon- strations, and accuracy and organization. ln advanced mathematics, students continue a practice of the fundamental processes learned in arithmetic, how to make all kinds of graphs, how to find areas and volumes of various solids, short-cut methods for fundamental operations, and formulas to use in solving right triangles. These classes give background for surveying, astronomy, sailing, fiying, and many other occupations. JUNE, 1942 25
