710 gaeuworlz . . . for those who have had the solid background in mathematics and science as taught by the six teachers in this department. Those who have planned to study medicine, or be a statistician. an engineer, a chemist, or a laboratory technician have learned how to tackle a problem and carry it through to its logical con- clusion. Students develop the know-howv method that Will make them better able to solve the problems they will come across in their careers. Courses of study include trigonometry, solid geometry, algebra II, general mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, senior science, and related science. MISS LAURA ALLEN MR. FQRREST CUMMINCS MR.

Mr. NValker and Mr. Brace teach World History to many College Prep sopho- mores, and Mr. Brace instructs Commercial students in Economic Ceography. The boys taking Vocational courses receive their instruction in Vocational His- tory from Mr. Griffin and his substitutes, since he was granted a leave of absence to serve in the U. S. Army. College Prep Iuniors take American History and Problems of Democracy from Miss Titus or Miss Mutter, while a continuation of the two subjects is taught the seniors by Miss Currie or Mrs. F ahnstrom. Magazines, newspapers, movies, speakers, and the radio are some of the supplements from which information is taken to make the courses more interest- ing to all the students.

Mr. Downing introduced many sophomores to plane geometry, a course concerned with the relations, properties and measurements of surfaces, lines and angles. Its continuation, solid geometry and trigonometry, were taught by Mr. Cummings, who also taught the techniques followed in the local oil laboratories. Both these instructors taught classes in Algebra II. Vocational boys were given a foundation in mathematics and science in Mr. Keller's general mathematics, senior science and biology classes. Miss Allen instructed the students of biology. In this course, sophomores were acquainted with the life processes of plants and animals and the body struc- tures each phylum has developed with which to carry them out. Chemistry. in which students learned the composition of materials as well as their atomic composition, is taught by Mr. Kusner. Related science, a course offered to vocational boys. and physics, a study of mechanics, electricity heat, light and sound are taught by Mr. Pflug. MR. RALPH KELLER . My MR' DANHZLSJ- KUSNHP' MR. 1.
