One of the most interesting lab experiments performed during the year by students of Miss Jane Taylor's chemistry classes is making sulphuric acid. SCIENCE, SlUllY Hilll Though atoms are not split nor nuclear reactions studied in the laboratories of the Everett High School Science Department, stu- dents may gain a fundamental understanding of scientific principles by actual experimentation as well as book work. Future experts on the atomic bomb and rocket propulsion may today be mixing simple Compounds in the chemistry lab, or plotting the field of a magnet to complete a physics experiment. Besides physics and chemistry, classes in biology, botany and psychology are offered those interested in living organisms, plant life, and the mechanics of the mind, respectively. Photography, the newest member of the EHS science family, has attracted a very large group of students through its I opportunities for taking, developing, and printing pictures, An important part in the high school life of every student is the work done in study hall, preparing lessons and studying for exams. Students of EHS will long remember Cl, Sophomore study hall, and main study, to which they graduated as Juniors and Seniors.

HISTUHY As modern man and his machines reduce the magnitude of the globe, the task of history instructors is made proportionally greater and more vital. Only with a basic knowledge of the history and gov- ernment of nations now within air hours of our borders can we hope to understand their difficulties and actions, Unless this can be suc- cessfully accomplished, the peace and security of the world will be in constant jeopardy. As well as coverage of universal topics in world history classes, and of hemispheric relations in Latin- American history, a full realization of fm the establishment and development of A our United States is necessary. This is provided for by the requirement that all -3' V students enroll for one year of American , i' history and a semester of American gov- 41 ernment. .l Economics and sociology, the two , remaining courses offered by the History Department, delve into the complex questions relating to the wealth of men si and nations, and the social and racial l differences of peoples, respectively. 1 I ,-1, kay Isabelle Carlisle ...af GQ' Helen Huletz 1'-e yy--if Paul Radke A1'lllLll' Ramstad Gertrude Schnasse Florence Tennyson Maurice Thompson lO Visual education is fast-be- coming a vital part of the ac- tivities of the History Depart-

Students following the suggested courses of study and maintaining good grades are eligible, upon graduation, for Com- mercial Certificates recommending them for employment. Commercial arithmetic, geography, and English review the fun- damentals of these subjects with special emphasis on their business application and usage, while commercial law introduces a student to the intricacies of corporations, partner- ships, property, and contracts. Prospective secretaries and stenographers are offered courses in typing, shorthand, stenog- raphy, and office practice, while those interested in clerking may obtain exper- ience in retail selling and actual after- noon work in downtown stores. Through the generous donation of a dual-control automobile by the Dean Nichols Motor Co., students of Everett High may now become experienced in the art of safe driving. This valuable g training has proved a very popular course, ' as shown by the need for six daily classes ' Z f to accommodate all those interested.
