Mr. Evangelista and the class watch some students work out algebraic problems. The Advanced Dramatics class listens to a recording that they made. We Are Practicing Mr. Senko's chemistry class sets up the apparatus for the hydrogen test. Top left!-Mathematics, another field steeped in mys- tery, stands side by side with the sciences. In math we learn to think problems through logically and directly. Top right-V-The science classes, which include chemistry, physics and zoologyfdabble, experiment, and study the un- knowns of natural laws. Left-Students interested in public speaking, radio work, make-up, and dramatics have gained valuable experience from the public speaking and advanced dramatic classes. Below--Imaginary trips, soaring through the past cen- turies up to the present day, are made possiblein ourliterature classes.

Batting Practice Strange as it may seem, we did Work. Never will we forget those long hours that we spent in the chemistry lab, striving for a for- mula that would blow up the Whole school. Then there were the history periods where we studied history, and then at 3:30, went home and made it. Ah! The long hours that we sepnt in English, but Miss Gettinger reconciled us to it. Then came 11:30 and we dashed up the steps to the cafeteria and pushed our way to the milk counter, but it was worth it because We got a free straw in the deal. Lunch time left a lasting impression-on our figures! Try- ing to take dictation in shorthand class, while next door the typing class was typing to Rag Mop, was quite an ordeal. Although we toiled all day in the classroom, it seemed like child's play compared to our sojourn with the Physical Education Department. We cut dashing figures-the boys with their off the shoulder under shirts, and the girls with their daring bathing suits. Although we sometimes complained about our homework and also our teachers, we set to work with determination, for we were prac- ticing for more hits and less errors. The main objective of the Physical Education Department is the developing of healthy bodies and sound minds. This is carried out by our gym, swimming, and health classes. Other aims of this program are the develop- ment of good sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership. In the gym class the boys limber up their muscles by practicing on the horse.

For the Future Our future homemakers do dishes after preparing their appetizing lunch. Across the hall the purr of sew- ing machines may be heard. Our Home Economic Department pro- duces thrifty housewives who are culinary and sewing experts. The senior students of H. H. S. have an opportunity to learn how to vote. American history students learn about our American way of life through text, magazine articles, and maps. In order to learn about the past, the sophomore world history students studied people and events of ancient times. Do you wonder where the sweet aroma that fills the halls comes from? It can easily be traced to room 315. Miss Welsh supervises her sophomore students who are busily engaged in making dresses. Our social science class gives birth to our knowledge of legal matters, child-labor laws, sedition laws, court decisions, and other problems which a student encounters. Students during election time learn how to vote run a political campaign, and study the duties of the various officers. Miss Schwartis class answer questions concerning book reports.
