R WATER IONIZES INTO . . . The two sciences taught in Central High School are chemistry and physics. lf you have ever studied either one of the subjects or both you know that Mr. Dooley directs the work of the science department. Assisting him are Mr. john Grace and Miss Hyland. If you study physics, you will be under the able tutelage of Miss Hyland and Mr. Grace. They teach their willing and unwilling students what they must know about physics. No one who has ever studied physics can deny that it is one of the most difficult subjects which is taught here. The amazing fact about physics is that even though it is very difficult, it is one of the most fascinating courses taught at Central. ln the field of chemistry at Central, we are taught by Mr. Dooley and Mr. Grace. lf you should ask a chemistry student what he liked best about that subject, he will always say, Lab. lf at least one experiment doesn't blow up, you're a failure. Naturally, Mr. Grace and Mr. Dooley must try to control the mad sci- entist urge in all their students. lt is a miracle how they do it. You won't go wrong if you study physics or chemistry. They are interesting, a test of your mentality, and your teachers are the best. A2+Bf:c2... Mathematics is a subject which is related in some way to almost all that a person endeavors to do. ln order to work, play, and even live, every person must have a smattering of math, even if it is just lower arithmetic. The mathe- matics department of Central High School offers many chances for a good preparation in any field of mathematics. Among the subjects taught are plane and solid geometry, intermediate and advanced algebra, and trigonometry. Math sub- jects are required for the basic college course, but even if one does not intend to go to college it is invaluable, because it teaches clear think- ing and straight reasoning. Mrs. Blanche Beers, department head, is assisted by a very able staff which does its best to make the subject in- teresting and simple. The staff indeed deserves to be commended for its excellent and untiring work. Many of us have passed math rooms at four o'clock and seen these teachers attempting to explain problems to students who wished help. lt is only with teachers like this that the students are encouraged to take so many of the math subjects. Everyone will agree that Central High School has one of the most adequate math programs that can be found.
