HARRY GLASS! Y IISS IURLEIGH HARRY GLASER, Science-Is curious about the whole, wide world. BESS BURLEIGH. Science- ller interests ill South :hIl1f'l'iK'4'l, have developed het-:ruse oi' situations in this war. For oz Better Tomorrow . .. Tomorrow's world will require citizens who have a wider knowledge of the various sciences. Courses at Ballard have been redesigned this year to prepare students for such a role in the post-war world. Chemistry classes developed special techniques which will enable students to go far as research chemists. Biology and health education groups completed their courses better fitted for a happier and more healthful life. Due to the war, the subject of physics has increased in popularity among the students. In this course pupils have gained experience in everything from charging storage batteries to working with light and sound waves. The more technical sciences such as auto-mechanics, radio theory, and photography had a greater enrollment this year than ever before. The botany classes with their bumper crops demonstrated what borne gardens can produce. As a result of this scientific training offered at Ballard, many men and women of tomorrow will he well trained for an important place in the realm of science. l,l'iiXll ll.

H umming With Activit Changing the tune a little, a Music Theory class was intro- duced this year to provide an opportunity for youthful composers. The popular listening enjoyment class, too, was a recent innovation. Vocal and instrumental groups were much in demand for community programs. The Industrial Arts Department hummed with activity as the boys in wood and metal shops worked at their indi- vidual projects. The drafting department developed skill in architectural and mechanical drawing. Arlneil with colnpasses and 'l'-squares, these prospective ilrnftslnen concentrate npon accurate construction. A. P.

No matter how rugged this may seem, the boys appreciate it heeause they realize that it develops confidence. stamina, individual leadership. and physical fitness. While the Senior boys engage in these activities five days a week. the Sophomore physical education classes are limited to two one-hour periods weekly. In the girls' physical edueation classes. conducted hy Miss Cornish and Miss Lewis. all girls were weighed and measured.
