.Yczenee Division Trains in Clear Tlnnleing' Aeqnaints .ftuelent with World The Science Division includes four def partments: physical education, home eco' nomics, mathematics, and sciences. Mr. D. C. Atkinson, who has been chairman of the Science Division for two years, says the general aim is to maintain good health and to encourage improvement in clear thinking. Matbenzaties Universal Language Mathematics is the science of numbers and space, it is universal in use, necessity, operations, branches, and meaning. Being universal it affords a common medium of thought and understanding throughout the nations of the world. Acknowledging the importance of this subject, Englewood offers its students esf sential mathematics, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The three main branches of home eco' nomics are clothing, foods, and home management. Study of foods takes in vaf rious phases of modern sciences, cookery, and table service. Home Arts Valuable to Girls ln clothing courses girls learn what colors, materials, and styles of clothing look best on them. They learn how to buy clothing and judge materials. Home management gives a girl a better understanding of family relationships, child care and development, home fur' nishing, and household efliciency. Considering it important that a strong body and healthy mind be developed, the physical education department stresses the development of these qualities through courtesy, tolerance, honesty, and good sportsmanship. Team work is developed in competitive games between classes. Volleyball, captainf ball, and ninefcourt basketball are some of the most enjoyable girls' team games. Boys are taught the fundamentals of football in the fall semester, and basket' ball in the spring. The rest of the time is devoted to body mechanics and volleyball. Sciences Important ln this atomic age, the science departf ment at Englewood is working harder than ever to give students an understanding of the world they will soon enter. ln chemf istry, pupils learn the importance of chem' istry in their everyday lives. A whole new world is opened to them, things which they have taken for granted hold new meaning when they learn the processes which make these things possible. Physics, a subject closely related to chemistry, was just as important in the development of the atomic age. ln these classes the laws of motion, pressure, weight, mass, and others are studied. Students learn to apply these laws to machines, instruments, and mechanical def vices. Properties of electricity are studied in the second semester. Three courses come under the heading of biological sciences, biology, botany, and Zoology. These involve the study of animal and plant life from the lowest onefcell forms to man. General science is required of all freshf men. This gives them an idea of all the they have some basic and can decide which, sciences, so that knowledge of all, if any, they wish to study further.

tftiwzuldting Assemblies Give Added Pleasure to Student! In a varied program of assemblies rangf ing from high inspiration to promotion of athletics through songs and cheers, Englef wood students have had many opportunif ties to round out their classroom educaf tions. This unusual assembly program is due to the guiding genius of the principal, Mr. joseph C. Thompson. Through group education in assemblies, the Illinois Bell Telephone Company and the General Motors Company were able to explain the operation and value of recent inventions and scientinc discoveries. The cultural aspect of the assembly prof gram was expressed in a variety of conf certs. Enjoyable afternoons were spent when the North Shore String Quartet gave a program of chamber music and when the Jackson Trio, two of whom are former Englewood students, gave excel' lent interpretations of semifclassical num' bers and hymns. Mr. Dudley Crafts XE Arson sketches Mt. Thompson during talk on Defy One Can Drawf' Page 24 One of the most stimulating assemblies was presented by the Panel of Americans who prepared the audience for a more tolerant outlook toward all segments makf ing up America. A technicolor sound movie on milk preparation and care from the time it leaves the country until it is delivered to the home was presented through the cout' tesy of the Bowman Dairy Company. And No One Asked , a choral speech number of Morris Reich, was used as the main theme of the Armistice Day program. It emphasized human brotherhood and American unity. In cofoperation with the American Education Council, the Orators presented a radio skit, showing the destructive propf erties of the atomic bomb and the necesf sity for its control. The pep assemblies, produced with the help of Mrs. Edith Olson, Mr. T. L. Two' mey, and Mr. Roy E. Quant, are stimuf lating and enjoyable. Cheer leaders exercise every effort to urge the student body to join in the cheers. Quiz numbers with tickets as awards have proved interesting and amusing. Harold Russell, a handless veteran of World War II, and Lt. James Whittaker, Rickenbacker's companion in the Pacific, gave inspirational talks which will never be forgotten. Dudley Crafts Watson, a member of the Art Institute of Chicago, demonstrated to the students his theory that everyone can draw. Mr. Watson convinced the audience that they should spend more time learning to develop their talents. -YVONNE ORENDORF .flssemlaly Talent fopposite pagebc Top row-Harold Russell, Miss Shirley Linder reading I Remember Mama g Lt.
