future IuvUgqhA, In this scientific age in which we live it is important for each of us to have some basic nowledge of the sciences. The three divisions of our science department all play an integral part in our lives. In our biology, our chemistry, and our physics classrooms we learn a great many things applicable to our everyday living. By studying these sciences we come to be more familiar with ourselves and our surroundings. We learn the scientist ' s methods and exactness while observing and recording cultivates in us accuracy and alertness. We are taught to take nothing for granted, to observe with our minds open. It is here that we learn many sound principles that in years to come will make us better individuals and better citizens of our country. It is indeed knowledge of science that makes us have a better understanding of the world we live in. MR. ANDERSON shows the proper way of pouring acid into a graduate. Visual instruction plays an important part in the teaching of the sciences. Mr. Pucko explains to his class the diagram which he has drawn on the blackboard. SCIEICE

WHILE MISS BURKE works out the area of a trapezoid by the formula A= 1 2 h (b + b,), Mr. Boyd explains a new proposition to his solid geometry class. MR. GARVEY EXPLAINS a difficult problem to his math class while Mr. Lowell explains how math in the tree of knowledge affects the basic and applied sciences.

MR. STAPLES demonstrates to his physics class the theory of molecular motion, namely, that molecules are constantly mov¬ ing. MR. MARGOLIS looks at the class while they in turn watch Jimmy Martin write the reaction when ammonium hydroxide and sulfuric acid are com¬ bined. Mr. Kipnes shows his biology class what a turtle does when he is put on his back. It seems that both classes are studying reactions.
