Junior High Science and Junior High Science and Science and Mathematics Biology Mathematics Scientific Attitudes Are Stressed Mr. Young's primary purpose in biology is to make students aware of their environment and to understand themselves in order that they will live in harmony and good fellowship with other people. Mathematics, taught by Mr. Potts, helps students to develop the power to reason, to analyze, and to think clearly and logically. Mr. Rich coordinates science and general math with everyday living. Physics is the basic science in which physical changes in matter and energy con- cerning light, sound, heat, electricity, and me- chanics are studied. Chemistry students learn the laws governing the action and reaction of chemical substances. All of the science and mathematics courses serve as a basis for further study in indi- vidual fields of specialization. Miss Scype, Mr. Hope, and Mr. Meyer, in iunior high science, aim to arouse the desire in their students to investigate unknown facts so that they may broaden their background of known material. With scientific improvements being developed in the world, it is necessary for students to become more interested in this progress. ln arithmetic a clear concept of elementary mathematics and an efficiency in handling figures is essential. Besides instilling curiosity and the willingness to learn, these teachers praise cooperation and courtesy in their young students. This is stressed in all classes, but particularly in iunior high where students are being prepared to enter high school where good citizenship is as important as high academic scholarship. MR.

Mrs. Horn and Miss Ferguson teach students to know and serve their country and to promote world peace by respecting all nations. Mr. McClure, in teaching his freshman students social studies and his sophomores world history, presents the responsibilities and obligations stu- dents have as future citizens. This department be- lieves that an understanding of the foundations of our social, economic, political, and religious society is essential in order for students to work toward an ultimate goal of universal peace. ln the study of American history, Mrs. Page and Mr. Schwab point out that we are living in a country that is the recognized leader of free people everywhere. Therefore, to protect and preserve our freedom, all students should know the basic concepts of American democracy and how it was attained. Current events are also discussed in all social studies classes to give students a better understanding of foreign countries and the prob- lems confronting them. United States government, taught by Mr. Horn, is a required subiect for all seniors to enable them to learn the functions of the national, state, and local governments. After acquiring this knowledge, they will have the desire to participate actively in the governing of their own country. MR. FLOYD SCHWAB MR. THOMAS L. HORN MR.

MARTHA KUHN MISS DOROTHY MERRITT MISS GRACE MOHNEY B.S., Michigan State College A.B., Ferris Institute B.S., Western Michigan College Home Economics M.B.A., University of Denver M-A-, University of Michigan MRS. KAY KRUMM Business Education Business Education Vocational Subiects Provide Work Experiences Mrs. Kuhn and Mrs. Krumm feel that the pur- pose of home economics is to promote interest in becoming better citizens by building a good foundation for happy and satisfactory family life. Homemaking classes are valuable because they help young girls gain self-confidence and a feel- ing of achievement when they transform tedious household tasks into pleasant, worthwhile duties. ln training potential secretaries, Miss Merritt and Miss Mohney teach the necessary technical skills and, in addition, stress punctuality, initiative, willingness to work, and the ability to follow direc- tions. They instill the desire to do good work, and they emphasize that a secretary must possess the driving determination to be successful in order to fulfill her duties conscientiously. Manual training classes, under the instruction of Mr. Hodges and Mr. Kanouse, prepare boys for apprenticeship positions in industry as well as developing their knowledge of how to do many practical iobs. Their aims are to teach their stu- dents mechanical skills with emphasis on safety and to help them learn how to work together in this age of many technical improvements. Mr. McKim inspires his students with the desire to become more proficient in the specialized fields of agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry. He helps them to establish successful living on small acreages. He also stresses cooperation and good citizenship, and encourages rural leadership to enable his students to understand the people with whom they will be doing business. MR. MORRIS HODGES MR.
