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

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.

MR WM. KREAMER Volts and .lolts Department Head 31: niece! .SZQIQA f With the return of peace comes the inevitable scar- city of' well paying jobs. Only the skilled worker will be able to compete for top-flight jobs during this trying period. It is for the purpose ot training boys to hold their own in the industrial world that our technical depart- ment is maintained. Proot of the department's success is the success of our alumni, Our technical depart- ment will continue to turn out first class tradesmen as long as there is a demand for skilled workers. The course provided by our shops, which includes the essential two semesters of wood shop and one semester each of machine and electric shop, trans- forms our students into veritable jacks-of-all-trades. They leave school prepared to meet the world and are secure in the knowledge that they are capable ot re- taining and succeeding at any position or occupation they may undertake. 12041 Machinist-Mate?
