The Year Book of Achievements Science The third year is a course in Chemistry. Here our view of this fascinating natural science is considerably broadened and an enlargement of the simple fundamentals which we learned now takes place. The fourth and last year is the Physics course. Here we take up point by point interesting theories and problems which we had to pass over during our first year course. On the whole, therefore, it would pay anyone to take up our science course as it actually teaches you to think and react quickly to situations and problems which require quick and accurate thinking.

L’Annuaire, Brookville High School Science (TQ ROOKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL offers to the enterprising student many advantages and ways of making his high school course pay. One of the many is through our Science Department. Here everything necessary to an elementary course in science is assembled. The Science course consists of four complete courses or subjects each to be completed in one year. The first of these single year courses is General Science. This course is, as its name implies, a general study and preparation for the other three courses to follow. The second year course is Biology, a less extensive but more comprehensive study of the elementary principles of Zoology gained from General Science. Page Twelve

L’Annuaire, Brookville High School History 5 0 ROOKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL has a history course of which we are very proud. It does not cram the student's head with insignificant dates or unnecessary data. Instead the pupil gains a perspective view of the world, from unwritten history to modern civilization. Ancient, Modern European, and American History are taken up successively. Wars are no longer stressed. Through up-to-date teachers, classes learn to evaluate certain events as to their importance. Commercial, religious, and other such changes in the lives of people are recognized as greater influences than battles. Occupations, Economics, and Social Problems are studied in the four-year course. However, these three semesters are considered just as beneficial if not more so than the histories. Occupations helps the student to choose his vocation early in life, and even gives a general knowledge of the relationship of all vocations. After studying the developments and ruin of nation after nation, it is very practical to investigate conditions in the modern world, not as a group of nations but as a multitude of individuals. The pupil learns how the other half lives, tries to solve present day problems, and begins to realize how lucky he is to be in America in 1928. Page Fourteen
