So much of our lives are influenced by Mathematics. Here students learn to reason, think specifically and care- fully. Whether preparing for future schooling, work or settling down after high school, this area of the curric- ulum requires disciplined study from students which will serve them well the rest of their lives. Mr. Loren Manchester - Biology Mr. Leo Dumke - Jr. Hi. Science Mr. James Anderson - Physics Mr. John Novak - Jr. Hi. Science Mr. Richard Lapp - Chemistry Mrs. Helen Dadd, Miss LindavCramer IE CE How are such wonders possible? From the whistling teakettle to the splitting of an atom, Science has the answers. Science teaches stu- dents the Whys, Wherefores, and Laws of the world in which we live. Gen- eral Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics open new worlds to those eager students who are willing to think and work hard. Lab exper- iments, projects, and a science ex- hibit, give the students oppor- tunities to practice what they learn as theory in class discussion.

The Language courses, French and Latin, offered at A. C. S. en- able students to understand the culture of other people. They form a background for other courses of study. In the world of business, the skills of typing, shorthand, the ability to keep books, to sell and to manage ably one's affairs are often the open door to.a new future. 13 il-s .....i., ,r,,.....,...,

This is one of the goals of English. It can also open wide horizons to new worlds through reading about people and places, real and imaginary.

S. are offered several elective courses in the area of practical study. The Coop Board Services enable us to have a Driver Training course with Mr. Albert Audsley as instructor. This course is always in great demand. Mr. Rae Hoopes acts as Audio- Visual coordinator for the schools in the district. Stu- dents learn the use of project- ors, recorders, and other equip- ment. The boys are ably instructed in Industrial Arts by Mr. Will- iam Frank. On a part-time basis, Mr. Henry Kline teaches Mechan- ical Drawing, and shop classes. A very active department is observed in the Agriculture course offered. Boys interest- ed in this area for their voc- ation are well prepared to make Agriculture their full time work.
