The importance of chemistry can not be over-estimated, since it is the basis of agriculture, engineering, pharmacy, and medicine. It is also of great import- ance in industry and is a subject of broad cultural value. The chemistry depart- ment at Calumet now has three teachers. The students in the biology department believe in doing things. Among their many activities is the rose sale for the beautification of the school grounds. This project is sponsored by the botany students. Many interesting field trips are taken. General science teaches the fundamental principles of all sciences, helping the pupil to solve the everyday problems of his environment, and developing an appreciation of the scientists, their lives and contributions. E and S students are elected to the Science Club. Page 22

Frances Smith Catherine Starheck Albertine Wetter Florence Wolf The German department has done such successful experimenting with teach- ing reading by the direct method that Miss Melody allowed the department to make its own course of study. The results have proved to be extremely gratifying. The Latin department has an unusually large number of students in ad- vanced work, since there are four classes studying Cicero or Virgil. A few years ago Cicero and Virgil had to be taught alternate years because there were never enough students for separate classes. Five teachers of the French department are trying to make the young idea shoot in that language. Besides grammar rules and irregular verbs there are Le Cercle Francais and interesting French books to read and French plays to attend. Nos interesa todo perteneciente a la raza espanola-los libros, la pantalla, las representaciones escolares, el radio, cualquier cosa que nos explique el idioma y las costumbres de los espanoles y los hispano-americanos, nuestros vecinos simpziticos.

An average of one shop teacher each semester has been added to the technical staff, since we became established in the new building. This department now offers work in machine or engineering drawing, architectural drawing, Wood shop fincluding furniture, carpentry, and a study of building constructionj, electricity, auto mechanics, aeronautics, and printing. Students other than those taking technical courses may take electives toward graduation, both major and minor, in any of the courses named above. The home economics department offers the following courses: food, clothing, and home management. The girls in the clothing courses learn not only how to construct attractive and becoming garments, but also how to judge fabrics and buy clothing intelligently. In the cooking classes the girls learn to choose food wisely and to prepare healthful and tasty luncheons at a low cost. During Open House Day, May 13, the parents who visited the home economics depart- ment were served tea in the dining room. Page 23
