s- s Q .1 1 E 5' ' CS! E' V .3 at Ui: 'E 1 0 lL ii fl gf' if Es e r Q, A X X ' rj X A if 5 P SCIENCE More of Ashland High's students than ever before are choosing the sciences as major fields of study, for never in our country's history has there been such a demand for skilled scientific workers. Medicine, industry, and the armed forces-all need personnel with scientific background. Future nurses find Miss Amstutz's hygiene class invalu- able to them, for a complete study of physiology and anatomy is given to the girls. Basic electricity and fundamentals of machines are the two branches of physics, taught concurrently by Mr. Gnagey. A course in light and sound will be added next year. Mr. Gnagey's chemistry students learn from lab- oratory work as well as from textbooks, dividing their time between class work and individual experimenta- tion. The laboratory work supplements class discussion. A good scientific foundation is laid in eighth grade general science classes, taught by Mrs. Sibert. Meteorol- ogy, fundamental astronomy, basic botany, and zoology are some of the units studied by eighth graders. ga Www 2 wif Iwi fl X Required of all freshmen is ninth year general science, taught by Mr. Wander and Miss Amstutz. In this course, background for physics, chemistry, and biology is provided, as all students must have two units of science to graduate. Both botany and zoology are covered in biology, taught by Mr. Wagner. A study of birds, of soil conservation, of insects, and a special, study of dangers to our ex- istence keep biology students busy. Agricultural stu- dents are especially interested in this branch of science. Because of tire and gasoline shortages, Mr. Wagner was forced to postpone field trips, but pupils bring plant and animal specimens to class. Pre-flight aeronautics helps prepare boys to be pilots, for they study meteorology, aerial navigation, opera- tion of engines, plane identification, and civil aeronau- tics regulations. Pupils take turns every morning in reading the weathe. report of the day from government instruments. MARY ELIZABETH AMSTUTZ F. E.

DOROTHY MOONEY Bowling Green State University, B.S. in Ed.: Ohio State University, M.A. SPEECH Speech, taught by Miss Ginn, aims to develop poise and confidence in speaking. Not only does the stu- dent gain experience in impromp- tu, extemporaneous, and platform speaking, but he also learns the principles of parliamentary prac- tice, declamation, choral reading, and pantomime. The dramatic student studies the history of the drama, seeks through actual reading of plays to gain criteria for judging them, and learns by practice the fundamentals of make-up. Through participation in play scenes the student learns the elements of pantomime, cor- rect stage movement, diction, and character portrayal. MARJORIE SPRAGUE Ashland College, B.A. LIBRARY With approximately ten thousand volumes on its shelves, our library is keyed to service for Ashland High's pupils and teachers. It serves as a reliable source of in- formation with its pamphlets, magazines, and books of all de- scriptions. War stories rank first in popularity among the students, with books on aviation and me- chanics running a close second. Special classes in library instruc- tion are given to all seventh grad- ers during the first semester of school so that the library may be used to better advantage. BONNIE DALE WELCH University of Kentucky, B.A., Univer- sity of Michigan, M. A. .IOURNALISM The press today has become an im- portant part of an American's so- cial and moral well-being. It is a vital factor in the molding of pub- lic opinion. Journalism classes study both the philosophy of the press and the building of a news- paper. First year classes learn the art of newspaper composition through editing High School News, the school's daily column in the city's newspaper. Second year students, chosen by Miss Roth, gain practi- cal experience in both the writing and construction of a newspaper by editing the school newspaper, Panorama.

SOCIAL SCIENCE Social science classes give students the training and background necessary for the successful fulfillment of their responsibilities as citizens of the United States. Through the study of our growth and development, and careful consideration of present-day problems--social, political, and economic-the student may better under- stand our government, its relationships with other na- tions, and the people with whom he will associate in life. Such an understanding of local, national, and interna- tional problems contributes greatly to better citizen- ship for each individual. Ashland High School students graduate with a thorough background in history, geography, and problems. Social science courses in grades seven, eight, eleven, and twelve are required. The student first comes in contact with the high school social science curriculum in seventh grade history and geography, taught by Miss Patten and Miss Kallenbaugh, respectively. Eighth grade so- cial science, conducted by Miss johnson, is divided into two parts. Ohio history is taught in one semester, and civics is offered in the other. World history, taught by Miss Griest, is elective, but many sophomores enroll in it. United States history, an eleventh year subject, is taught by Miss Foust and Miss Griest. Senior social studies, known in Ashland High School as American problems, has been developed into a very interesting course by Mr. Ballou, head of the social science depart- ment, and Mr. Hartzler.
