JOHNSON HICH SCHOOL SALUTATORY ARENTS, teachers, schoolmates and friends, I welcome you here this evening in behalf of the class of nineteen-thirty six. NVe are taking iV1 ii? this opportunity to extend to you our sincere gratitude for your sym- pathy, understanding, and co-operation all during our four years at Johnson High School. Daily Contacts with Chemistry Did you ever stop to think how many ,times the average person comes in contact with chemistry every day? These contacts are almost numberless. There are few ,articles in the home that have no connection with chemistry, either in their operation or in their manufacture. Chemistry has much to do with industry in all its forms. Agriculture and forestry depend on this science for their success, and medicine and chemistry go hand in hand. For the purpose ,of seeing for ourselves the contacts with chemistry in our daily life, let us inspect an average day in my own life as an example. Immediately ,on rising I use toothpaste, a compound made by chemists of precipitated chalk, which is calcium carbonate, and other ingredients, and soap, which is really sodium stearate and the result of carefully perfected processes. I put on clothes, the cloth of which has been prepared by the careful ap- plication of chemistry. Perhaps it is rayon, which has been so perfected by chemists that it is gradually taking the place of silk. There are buttons made of celluloid, a synthetic plastic which it took years in chemical history to per- fect. The clothes are brightly colored, a phenomenon made possible by dyes extracted from coal tar. I put on perfume whose delicate scent might be traced back to an ordinary lurnp of coal. For breakfast I have puffed wheat, which was made possible by another chemical process. I have butter and milk and, perhaps, an egg, all of which have been preserved in a refrigerator cooled by circulating ammonia, an im- portant chemical compound. I eat from china dishes which have been placed within the means of the most moderate house-keeper by the new processes of manufacture perfected by the chemist. I use silver that looks like the solid heirloom of centuries ago, but which is only silver plated on a baser metal by an electro-chemical process. ' After breakfast I read a book whose bindings were chemically made and colored from coal-tar dyes, and whose paper was made from wood pulp, re- fined by various processes. Later I write a letter to a friend on paper which was made from old linen rags, refined and purified by chemical means. I use ink compounded by a chemist from iron sulfate and various extracts of other materials. At lunch the dessert consists of gelatin made by a chemical process from bones dissolved in hydrochloric acid and then treated still further. Glue is also made by this same process. In the afternoon, an automobile, driven by a battery dependent on chem- ical action for its operation, takes me to the city. There I attend a motion picture theater where I see a film, a result of numerous chemical processes. reflected on the screen. During the picture I eat candy whose manufacture is .16
