Science Department OMMON lyega severe causticg hydrochloric acid-a powerful and active chemf ical, add one to the other, and what is the result? Only a little common salt! Science is full of such seeming paradoxes. Chemistry is just one of the sciences taught in Hamburg High Schoolg but it serves to represent the attitude of all the science classes. The real purpose of scientific edu' cation is to investigate the nature of our surroundings, in order to find out how they affect our daily life. However, dealing with the material is not cnoughg it is essential to go still farther into the mysteries of matter, to study its fundamental structure by learning of molecules, atoms, and electrons, the theoretic huildingfblocks of the universe. It is with these thoughts in mind that the students of the Physics and Chemistry Departments apply themselves to their daily tasks of investigating an electrical applif ance or preparing a powerful acid.

Mathematics Department EOMETRY, Intermediate Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, and Solid Geometry are the subjects which are presented in our Mathematics Department. '1 nese courses require a great deal of time and sincere application to the work, as many students, who have come to grief over various x's and y's, theorems, statements, and proofs, have discovered. Miss Harvey, Miss Warburton, and Mr. Eidt, instructors of mathematics, have given their best efforts, and have spent countless hours aiding backward students. These efforts have been rewarded by retaining and even surpassing the thigh standards long ago set in the Mathematics Department of Hamburg High School by Mrs. Anna Ueblacher and by Mrs. Martha Howe.

Music Department DVANCING through various stages of nerve-racking blasts and discords, to melody and harmony, the music department has burst upon the consciousness of the school, as an active, progressive department, Included in this department, which has Mr. Ernest Ahern as its capable director, are: the Junior High School music classes, special conducting classes, the orchestra, the band, the chorus, the girls' glee club, the brass quintette, and the woodwind ensemble. In the seventh and eighth grade music classes, the students have studied intensively all the instruments in a modern symphony orchestra, and they have learned some of the principles and rudiments of harmony, theory and voice training. Two conducting classes were organized this year, to develop the capabilities of outstanding student musicians. The intricacies of choral, orchestral and band conduct' ing were included in the studyg the Eugene Goosen style of conducting was taught. It is thought that such study will train student conductors to take a major part in music programs in the future. The orchestra and the band have shown such progress this year, that their per' formance is a constant source of pride to the students. The chorus is already winning laurels. The brass quintette and the woodwind ensemble are composed of members of the orchestra who desire further knowledge of music, especially of their own instruments. The entire music department furnishes excellent training for future musicians. 'Thirty
