These and many other questions, pertaining to the differ- ent phases of science, were the chief topics discussed throughout this year,s science classes. Using the age-old adage, Know a lit- tle about everything, the freshman and senior science groups attempted to be- come acquainted with everyday science problems. Biology students centralized their work more, and concentrated mainly on the fundamental principles of nature and how they are related to living things. In addition to setting up a new physics laboratory, a number of the students entered projects in the Kent University Science Day, held at the beginning of the second semester. Rounding out the science curriculum was the chemistry department. The work included observations, experiments, and an extensive coverage of the chemistry text book. f 15.

The college preparatory student could be seen evaluating X in first year alge- bra, constructing a tangent in plane ge- ometry, graphing an equation in second year algebra or studying solid geometry and trigonometry. Commercial students were usually kept active in business math or bookkeeping classes while vocational students were enrolled in first year algebra, plane ge- ometry, general math or advanced algebra. General math or math review were pur- sued by students of the general course.

COE, D-Ed, COP Offer Training Through experience classroom learning becomes more meaningful for Commercial course students participating in the Co- operative Office Education, Distributive Education and Clerical Office Practice programs. Training in C O E and D-Ed helps stu- dents to obtain positions in Ashtabula area stores and ofHces more readily. Clerical Office Practice, new this year, affords students training for small busi- ness office work. Seniors enrolled in either of these pro- grams spend part of their day in classes and part time at their jobs. Other subjects offered as part of the commercial program are bookkeeping, business law, business English, typing, shorthand, commercial law and clerical office practice. Special outside activities and assign- ments are also part of these programs for commercial course students at A H S. A BAUBLES, BANGLES, AND BEADS.
