CHEMISTRY CLASS Those desiring to specialize in science, are given ample opportunity. The department given over to this study is complete in every detail, and the equipment is entirely up-to-date. Chemistry and physics are taught in alternate years. The former was offered to the students this year, and about fifty girls enrolled. The study of this science gives us an insight into the changes that result in altering the composition of materials. Many interesting experiments have been performed, especially those relating to oxygen, hydrogen. textiles, the composition of milk, and the chemistry of photography. The standard barometers, air pumps and apparatus for distilling water, were constantly being pressed into service by these girls, Because chemistry relates so much to our daily lives, and as the industrial advancement of a country is judged fairly well by the extent to which chemistry is cultivated in its schools, the girls are doing their utmost to advance in this science.

JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB Organized in the early part of the year, the Junior Dramatic Club had a very successful season. To enable more of the members to take an active part in the affairs of the club, it was divided into two sections, the classical, and commercial. Catherine Connolly was chosen as director of the classical branch. while Nora Brouillette directed the commercials. Mae Mulholland and Norma Johnson were treasurers of the classicals and commercials repec- tively. The members displayed talent not only in dramatics, but also in speak- ing, singing and dancing. The lively music of their orchestra added much pep to the Juniors' programs. The Thanksgiving Day program, one of the snappiest of the year was presented by the dramatic club, and consisted of two short plays, recita- tions, selections by the orchestra, and dances. The plays presented were. The Business Women's Club, and Entertaining Royalty. These con- tained many comical situations, which sent the audience into peels of laughter, and testified to the great success of the club. C. Connolly, President, M.

GENERAL SCIENCE' The Magic Study is the name given to General Science by the Freshmen. This study seems more of a reality to them, but no less en- chanting than the story of Aladdin, the boy with the magic lamp. Owing to the well-equipped laboratory at Central, the General Science class learns to solve problems by scientiiic methods. Since we are living in an age of science, worthy and useful citizen- ship in the home and community, requires that high school students have a knowledge of at least the elementary principles of this subject. and know how to apply these principles in improving the conditions of their environment. The students have double periods four times a week, in which they perform many interesting experiments. They learn the relation of man to animal and plant life, and study such subjects as foods, soils. magnetism and electricity. Page Sz'.rty-flzrrc
