History If you can choose history as one of your major subjects, you will have a very inter- esting course. One semester of Ancient History and one semester of Nledieval History are usually studied in the same year. As a sequel, hflodern History is offered. Then the course of American History and Civics is required of every senior. This course requires a certain amount of work be done on current events. In some classes each student makes a notebook while in others the class as a whole makes one. If you have any ability in dramatics, you may be chosen George XVashington during the Constitutional Convention which is dramatized in some classes. Later you may take the part of Douglas or Chase in the discussion on the Compromise of 1850. Another very interesting course of the History Department under Mr. VVinans is the one semester course in Social Problems. Some of the subjects the stu- dents study in this class are immigration, child labor, unemployment, crime and punishment, women in industry, and con- ditions for the deaf, blind, and feeble- minded people. lylaterials for these sub- jects are taken from newspapers and current magazines. Very often commit- tees are sent to investigate conditions for themselves in VVarrensville Farm, Feder- al Reserve Bank, City Council, Federal Court, Municipal Court, and County Jail.

Each day over seven hundred students visit one lj class rooms to learn something of physics, chemistry, or bi every physical law which enters into our modern life is studied in the This study is made more interesting by various experiments of scientific which are carried out in the laboratories. In the chemistry classrooms and rudiments of the subject are taught, and this course serves as an excellent for college chemistry. l Biology proves very interesting, for there are many subjects bacteria, fungus, cir- culation of the blood, yeast, insects, foods and digestion, their roots, leaves and fruits, respiration and the nervous sys- tem, are only a few of the many subjects considered. In the spring and fall, groups Q' of students may be found hunting for 55, specimens in the woods near the school. fl VVhen they return to school they examine these specimens under the microscope and some are mounted for a permanent col- lection. Some classes have an aquarium gi filled with various types of fish, sea 41 plants, and alligators. Experiments are A tried on them, and many interesting facts f .1 are observed. rg gl I gl f K 2. ,f li i fi gc XSMlmmRNinltrs Karl. 1 5.A. Efg1311'sl1- ' X . V, 2 I, I, Y?

Ninth grade Latin is offered, with more advanced .' courses in Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. There are also four years of French offered which cover a study of Cours Pratique, Jean Valjean, Voyage de NI. Perrichon, short stories and S novels. During this year Mr. Lorz has been in France and Mr. Merle from France has f' taught here. It has been very interesting to have a Frenchman teaching in the school and his unusual way of presenting subjects has appealed to the students, NVe hope that H Mr. Nlerle has found it equally enjoyable. As yet there are only two years of Spanish gl offered, but as the interest grows so will the department. The aim of the re-estztblishinent of German in the fall term was not only Q for future use in the Helds of science, L ' Q literature, music and travel, but also lg' the present enjoyment and appreciation 5, of the foreign tongue in connection with K' the radio, newspapers, grand opera, and il conversation. ln connection with their rf' study of German the students have made x I models of animals in order to speak bet- :iQ ter German. For this same reason the Pl French students have presented plays for gl their classes and for the Niothers' club. vi 1,3 ff W , E .-A4 -ll 74 l fa il 'f A ART CLASS 'klfl 'la-LA, 2 , --w FT?
