During the first semester all students take the same course which is a general foundation in the principles upon which chemistry rests. For the second semester, three courses are offered: metals, organic, and qualitative analysis. A student must take either met- als or organic chemistry and elect either o o b f e ther two subjects, if s also teaches a class ' s p s ' c lating phases of chem- istry With the manual arts.

Miss Beatrice Staudacher Mrs. Adah Harris Miss Marian Murray Mr. Ed. Forsman Mrs. Louise Hoerner l l -A 4 Perhaps the most harrassed teacher in school is Miss Staudacher, registrar. Head- aches, toothaches, stomach aches, and all the other reasons for staying out of school are, by necessity, her daily topics of con- versation, as she passes almighty judgment on dozens of excuses each day. To keep our students hale and healthy we have a full time nurse, Mrs. Harris. Miss Murray, librarian, has the task of keeping the library, and students who V61Qf'lIl1'l'll use the library, in good Working order. Our Dean of Girls is Mrs. Hoerner, who is also co-adviser of the YaWaCa. Mrs. Hoerner also teaches personal adjust- ment and budgeting. Mr. Forsman is the head of the guid- ance department in addition to being vo- cational director. It is Mr. Forsman Who has charge of the retail selling course, a means by which students gain actual ex- perience in working.
