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.

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.

ENGLISH—A Living Language Whether we ore studying the life of Shakespeare or the use of conjunctions, we are increasing our knowledge in English. In literature we learn to ap- preciate and criticize intelligently the works of others; we combine both a knowledge of bosic grammar and creotive thinking when we write our own essays and compositions. Occasionally, if we feel especially brave, we may dash off a poem or two. However, at all times we must keep in mind thot the purpose of language is to communicate. All too often we ore unconscious of the fact that the use of our English may well determine our success in life.
