AERONAUTICS lt was not until last year that the Science of Aeronautics was offered as a senior elective. The course was opened to girls as well as boys, interested in the field of Aeronautics. Many of our classmates, with the demands of pOSt-War aviation in mind, availed themselves of the opportunity of getting a good foundation in this most interesting subject. The fundamentals of Navigation, Meteorology, Aircraft Engines, Aerodynamics, and Airplane Structures were ably presented to them by Miss Roche and Mr. Burke. Their expert guidance was invaluable, and their sympathetic understanding of the many knotty problems that beset our Flying classmates made Aeronautics thoroughly inter- esting. CHEMISTRY Surrounded by Bunsen burners, test tubes, Erlenmeyer and Florence flasks, litmus paper, and mortars, we started our Chemistry course with the avowed purpose of becoming amateur Curies and Lavoisiers. Oxidation, hydrogena- tion, valences of elements, atomic numbers and weights were the elementary stepping stones in the process of equations and experiments. Those pleasant odors that emanated from the Lab simply attested to our prowess with the test tube, and our rapid advance on the scientific road. What matter the smarting eyes, the gagged breath, the singed and scorched finger tips! Chlorine gas had to be made, glass had to be bent, and Chemical Science had to be advanced! We gladly suffered wounds, put up with inconveniences. Madame Curie did, why couldn't wel Those happy Lab days will never be forgotten, neither will our genial and com- petent teacher, Mr. Burke. OFFICE PRACTICE ln Office Practice we learned the intricacies of such standard office equipment as the Comp- tometer, the Burroughs, the Monroe Calculator, and the Duplicator. Master copies and stencils were likewise on our agenda, not to mention a seemingly endless procession of typing assign- ments. Since all this work had to be done in one year, our classes were usually in a state of healthy and helpful confusion. However, thanks to Miss Ward and Miss Cordon, our teachers, we have emerged from the welter of machines, stencils, and jangling typewriters better pre- pared to face a top-flight business office. Our experiences in Office Practice have been most enjoyable and profitable. 420
