However, the Science Department, under the supervision of Mr. Carl Staples, has a purpose beyond that of merely teaching the students knowledge from the text books. By means of experimentation — most important phase of the courses — the students are given a chance to observe and record facts carefully. This, in turn, trains the boys and girls to think accurately and it also instills an attitude of scientific cur¬ iosity in them. It is now quite evident that the expert training offered by Mr. Earle Anderson, Mr. Aaron Kipnes, and Mr. Roman Pucko has in¬ fluenced a very great number of boys, as well as girls, to pursue a scientific career. Watch that stick, Mr. Kipnes!

£ cience What ' s this called, Michaelson? Mr. Staples — Head of the Science Department This technical age in which we are now living, most certainly demands a great number of men and women well-trained in the various sciences. Here at Chelsea High School, one is able to obtain an excellent basic preparation in either chemistry, biology, or physics. Daily, the students gather in the properly equipped laboratories, in order to study the many inter¬ esting facts concerning science. The classroom work consists of problems, recitations, experi¬ ments, and demonstrations: all of which com¬ bine to give the student an excellent prepara¬ tion in the scientific subjects. i Step back — Explosion!!

j In the years to come, we will all remember pleasant hours in our 1 foreign language classes. We can look back on the excellent prepar¬ ation in those classes with sincere gratitude. Under the supervision of Miss Frances Connolly, the department has been acclaimed as one of the best of its kind and is the pride of Chelsea Senior High School. Nous voici a Paris! As French students in Miss Connolly ' s classes, we shall recall happy jaunts through the streets of Paris and its en¬ virons. The beauty of this language shall enrich our everyday activities. O tempore! O more! Everyone shall remember those delightful hours spent in the Latin classes of Miss Ella M. Deasy. Latin, the lan¬ guage of the ancients, gives its students a better understanding of English and also aids in technical work. The fine preparation afforded in these classes gives unlimited opportunities for which we are all grateful. El Espanol, the language of gay Spain and Mexico, takes the students of Miss McKenna and Miss Spring on long journeys through the lands of the Spaniards and Latin Americans. The ever increasing demand for Spanish interpreters places Chelsea High students, with their excellent training, in a position for fine vocational opportunities. This training and enjoyment afforded by the Spanish course will be a clear memory for all who have participated. Miss Frances Connoly — Department Head. Maintenant, S ' il vous plait. The Virgil class — Mirabile dictu!!
