Science Department The science department, which is one of the most important in school, is under the direction of Mr. D. P. Choisser. The four science courses offered are General Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. A few explosions and some unpleasant odors have resulted from experiments by the 136 students who enrolled in the Various courses. Mathematics Department The mathematics department was introduced into The Banning High School in 1899. Although we have not had four units of math every year, we have had the full course offered to each graduate before his four years were finished. Miss Mabel Thayer, instructor, orders modern textbooks and equipment each year. Latin Department The aim of the Latin courses is to give the student a foundation that will enable him to proceed with the study of Latin here or elsewhere, to acquaint him with some of the fundamental facts about his own language that are not brought out in the regular English texts. Dr. W.C. Gunnerson presents the first and second years. Commercial Training The Commercial Department offers courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and other business principles. Mr. Fisk is the instructor of this department. Consumer Economics A new course introduced by Mr. Coverdale and taught by Dr. Gunnerson has proved very popular with the seniors. The text used is Business Principles Everyone Should Know, and it stresses marketing, budgeting, accounting, advertising, buying 5) e Ss: Ss) 5 y g, and selling. English Department The English Department hoasts of three teachers, Mrs. Beulah Woodruff, Dr. Gunnerson, and Miss Thelma Harvison. The courses aim to enlarge the student's capacity for living with his fellow man, to improve fundamental application of grammar and composition, and to develop an appreciation for good literature.
