THE MONARCH 1928 25 Departments of Science and Mathematics These two departments naturally go hand in hand. Science depends on mathef matics and mathematics is a science. The higher mathematics classes have been fortunate enough during the past seven years to have Mrs. Arthur Howe as their instructor. The mathematics depart' ments has had a very unusual record of achievement during her regime. This school offers courses in solid geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometryfa fact greatly appreciated by students who wish to take engineering in college. The science department has received an impetus this year entirely new in the history of Hamburg High School. Under the able management of Mr. Charles Buesch, classes in chemistry and physics have been most interesting and prohtable. These are classes where plenty of hard work is done but the work is made so inter' esting that pupils think it mere play. The following quotation seems especially ap' propriate for this department: Blessings on science! When the earth seemed old, When Faith grew doting, and the Reasons cold, 'Twas she discovered that the world was young, And taught a language to the lisping tongueg 'Twas she disclosed a future to its view, And made old knowledge pale before the new.

THE MONARCH 1928 27 Music Department Though music had no real place in the school of a hundred years ago, Singing Societies were popular. The music master determined the pitch by the use of a tunf ing fork. The seasons were usually concluded with grand concerts made up of se' lections such as these which were found on an old program: LIST OF TUNESH 1. Theres Music in the Air. 2. Samantha Bradshaw will sing a 'worldlie' song. 3. Round--'A Lame Crow. 4. A Piece on the Dulcimer. At one time Hamburg boasted a band in which not a few of the school boys played. Bright red uniforms were supplied to all members. The customary trim' mings and brass buttons were not overlooked. Since about 1910, music has rapidly assumed its proper place in relation to ed' ucation. Elliott Fitzgerald '28 MISS CRQWLEY Art Department This department, for the second year under the supervision of Miss Margaret Crowley, has produced remarkable results. Many of the students have shown a natural talent in drawing and with an able instructors aid have worked out some splendid ideas with the pen, pencil or brush. Miss Crowley will be missed next fall as her plans are taking her elsewhere next year. A graduate of Fredonia Normal School, she has been in the teaching field for six years where her ability has been greatly praised and appreciated. We wish her continued success. Clayton Bonclelow '28
