astounding results caused by the chemical action which occurs when certain liquids and substances come in contact with one another. It enables one to understand how so many products can be made from the same kind of raw material. Chemistry is a rapidly expanding field for there are few industries that do not find in chemistry a real ally in the im- provement of processess and product. Its many ac- complishments and uses can readily be ascertained by a survey of the many professions and industries which are solely or partially dependent upon its re- sults for their very existence. Humanity would in- deed sulfer greatly if it were deprived of its chemi- cal knowledge. Thus the study of the sciences acquaints the stu- dent with facts and principles unattainable in any other group of studies. It deals with problems of ut- most value in the home and community, teachzs how to solve problems, develops interests and abilities, and most of all makes better and more intelligent citizens.

ENGLISH by Mary Lou Spink When I entered high school four years ago, I was not the only freshman who was worried about Eng- lish. The books the seniors carried were huge and doubtlessly looked even larger to a freshman than they actually were. It was not only the books that were so formidable, I heard stories of themes, memory lines, home reading, and a host of other things that all fused into a haunting fear. Gradually as I became ac- quainted with these new things, I began to wonder what had been so frighting about them. They did not bite me, nor was I even any the worse for having met them, but of course, I still dreaded the senior theme and some of the books that had once looked so forbidding. Now my English course is nearly completed, and I have gone through each of the drill books-first the green, then the orange, the blue, and finally the red one-have written my quota of themes, reported on many surprisingly interesting books, memorized lines and lines of poetry, and learned to know and to enjoy many books which because they were called classics I had thought must be uninteresting. I have discovered a great many things about English in these four yearsg perhaps I should not say English alone, for directly or indirectly it has been the cause of in- teresting and pleasant discoveries in many fields. There is no need to describe them, for everyone has had his own similar experiences. One of the things about English which has been rather surprising to me is the fact that it has three Studenfs model of the old Globe theatre Classroom dramafiZation Preparing, editing, and typing material for tlve Mortonian V
