Working problems was a chief activity in Miss Eva Thornton ' s trigonometry class. Shown here are Leon Cohen, Sylvia Specker, Shirley Gard, Miss Thornton, and Harry Shaner. Endeavoring to help students learn to speak, read, and write effectively, English and foreign language classes offer a variety of courses. Speech students try their hand at radio techniques in such activities as recording the Junior Town Meeting radio programs, while those with a flair for writ- ing keep an eye on essay contest announcements. New teachers in the fall semester were Miss Lucille Cassell, Mr. Richard Snyder, and Mrs. lone Lloyd, who rejoined the staff after a year ' s absence. Realizing that one of the basic requirements for success in the business world is a firm foundation in mathematics, teachers in this department help Tepee Towners make the blueprints for their future by offering a four-year course which includes basic and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. This wide range of courses helps Manualities learn to reason logically and develop initiative and ingenuity. A newcomer among the mathematics teachers this year was Miss Jennie Croas, a Manual alumna. — 12

Those enrolled in science courses realize the im- portance of their subjects in their everyday living and in the world of tomorrow. Classes in biology and physiology help promote interest and under- standing of the functions of plants and animals, while physics and community science train students in the field of physical forces. One of the values of the science department ' s work is the training given graduates who go on to more specialized college work. Mrs. Bonnie Ball was a new science teacher this year. By helping Manualities realize that the world of today demands an understanding of yesteryear, the history department is, in a sense, blueprinting the lives of tomorrow ' s citizens. In addition to offer- ing a complete and varied curriculum, this depart- ment also sponsors an extemporaneous speaking contest each semester. History teachers also helped prepare Manual ' s current events Quiz ' Em team which took its turn in competing with other local schools in a weekly Sunday afternoon radio feature. William Tboele, Barbara Bell, and Mary Fisher experiment in Mr. James Brayton ' s chemistry class. Participants in the current events contest, Quiz ' Em on the Air. were (left of microphone) William Thoele, Charles Monroe, George Ashcraft, and Sylvia Specker.
