we phgdicaf an io ogica .gzienced b Contributing a major share towards the diversified education of the average student, is the study of the physical and biological sciences. The Crane science department, capably headed by Mr. Charles Dunn, has furnished for us a four year course designed to fill the needs of the majority of the students for both essential knowledge and college entrance purposes. The course is an excellent basis for one's entire high school course. L The four branches of science delved in the course are, General Science, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. I.

oreign anguagea . . . Q In such a time as ours, when nations are striving to attain unity, linguistic talent rates high in efforts towards universal good will. As international trade is resumed, persons who speak foreign languages fluently will be in demand to draft foreign trade agreements and create lasting busi- ness friendships. Boys planning to enter college will also ,find a foreign language extremely helpful, as will those desiring activity in the various professions. In fact, with travelling time so greatly shortened by modern inventions, anyone who hopes to travel at one time or another will greatly benefit from the knowl- edge of a foreign tongue. To prepare Craneites for the future, the foreign lan- guage department, under the capable guidance of Mr. Craig, offers a two year course with a choice of one of five languages-French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Latin. With regard to the aforementioned, a student is well rewarded for his time and effort.

BERNARD HARRINGTON CHARLOTTE HEATON NELDA HEEGARD IOHN HENSEY VIVIAN HUFFACKER MAX ITTEN EDWARD KALM FRANCIS KEHOE WILLIAM KREAMER IOHN LEAKE MABEL LEHMAN HALLIE LINDER General Science is a course combining a little of each of the other subjects and also natural phenomena not covered by the others. lt is mostly a prep course for what is yet to come. Biology explains to the student the various aspects of animal and plant life. Here one learns the origin and functions of living things. Physics, thought by some students to be one of the hardest of subjects, is handled by our competent in- structors in such a manner as to present the study of mechanics, heat, light, electricity, sound, and their minor branches, interestingly and in a fashion readily understood. From the aforementioned list it can be seen that physics covers items useful in everyday life. The study of chemistry deals with and explains facts about substances, what they are made of, what changes they undergo, and how different compositions of the basic particles compose every substance known to man. Of the above four subjects only two must be taken in order to graduate. One would do well, however, to take advantage of the complete course, for science, coupled with other studies, gives a well rounded and balanced education, suited to the personal needs of everyone. The course is a must for those students who intend to follow the line of engineering or any type of work such as that. All of the sciences can be applied to some kind of engineering. A four year science course is a good foundation for practically any profession or vocation. Now, with the new era of science coming to the fore, such a foundation is more important than ever. Revo- lutionary progress is being made which only the well prepared will be able to use to advantage. Now is the time to prepare. ,194 MR. CHARLES DUNN Department Head
