( h.iic.iux II r IOIRI J Judy Brandt studies one of the books on the World History exhibit while Borry Brandt points out on enlarged illustration from the book Cothy Britton has. World In Review Important meetings, treaties, and battles are all a part of our study cf the story of mon. Whether we follow George Washington across the Delaware or Egyptian slaves building o pyramid, we gain a better understanding of the backgrounds of the people we associate with everyday. Through lectures, movies, guest speakers, and student reports, the history of foreign and domestic peoples takes shape. Rome wosn't built in a day and neither is history learned in a year. There is so much material to cover that the required three years of history is often supple- mented with several semester courses dealing with the affairs of our South American neighbors or the struggle in the For East. All of these combine to give us a well-rounded view not only of yesterday's world but the world of topiorrow. To find sufficient material for her report, Morincl Alvis refers to two reference books.

Crafts Develop Talents This age of Do-it-yourself hos really given the Industrial Arts Department on advantage. The values of courses in Architecturol Drawing, Mechanical Drawing, Art Metal, and Wood Shop have become in- creasingly evident. Students construct o wrought iron table, turn out o lamp base on the lathe, or plan their dream house. Each year the metol and wood shops have a com- bined craft show to display the examples of their skill and croftsmanship. Besides these obvious achievements students take with them a knowledge of the fundamentals of design and layout. 19

The Facts Of Life Filling the board with figures, ond incidentally solving o problem, takes Susan Schade to her knees. Poss your experiments over, is o regular re- quest in Mr. Evans' chemistry closs. Just beyond the breezeway is the Science Building where, ot any given hour, students can be found doing anything from bisecting ond dissecting carrots to roll- ing ball-bearings down inclined planes. The Biology Department lays the groundwork for future studies in botany and zoology. Here we learn the intricacies of the plont and animal kingdom — ranging from bean seeds ond radishes to tope worms and frogs. A little further down the hall, we come to the chemistry lob. Amid a maze of constantly breaking test tubes and beakers, we produce hydrogen from rocks, charcoal from sugar, and the foul fumes of sulphur. In the Physics Department we bone up on shooting at tin cans with air guns. The purpose? To prove that vertical motion of o falling object is not affected by any horizontal motion. Ninety-hour biology projects, mind-reoding experi- ments, and holes in clothes due to acid ore all familiar to us. To fulfill the requirement of two years of science for graduation, eoch one of us finds him- self in some phase of science during our three years here.
