PHYSICS CLASS Students who selected Physics as their science this year felt that they were among the most fortunate. Though this science has been considered one of the most difficult high school subjects, Mr. Schooley has the ability to make it an oasis in the desert. His keen wit cracks out far ahead of the class much of the time — but when one can catch up it is the bright spot of the day. The increasing popularity of this course is proved by the gain in enrollment. This year ' s class of 29 members is the largest in its history. Mr. Schooley ' s illustrations brought the light of physics even to the dimmest mind. Those seniors interested in literature this year were under the instruction of Miss Dawson. The first semester the class discussed the more important English writers and their works. Shakespeare ' s Macbeth seemed to prove itself the most interesting to the class. The second semester the class studied modern writers. In order to gain credit in this subject the A, B, and C students were required to have fifty points for out of school read- ing, and the other students were required to read a book a semester.
