M diGiovanni and Miss T. Perkins bring to us the language of Spain and the South American countries. Many freshmen continue with their scientific interests under Mr. S. Kleckner. In biology, under Mr. G. Epley, all are thrilled by what they see while peering through a microscope at almost infinitesimal objects. The chemistry and physics students, too, arc well informed by Mr. P. McClure. Studying courses like these is just like traveling through a realm of enchantment! What an amazing journey the math students have! Mr A. Coronway initiates the frosh into what “x equals, while Mrs. E Morris tells us ahout lines and angles in plane geometry. Mr. H. Freeman teaches the older students advanced algebra, solid geometry and trigonometry. Mr. W. Jones guides us through ancient history, then brings us up-to-date in the history of our own state, Pennsylvania. Mr. H Drake gives us a good background for the appreciation of our country in American history, while Mr. E. Snyder and Mr. L. Richards keep us informed in modern history and world affairs. Mr. Kraber prepares us for the business world in shorthand and typing: Mr. D. Smith in bookkeeping, junior business training, and salesmanship; Mrs. J. Felter in minor typing, office training, and commercial math; while Miss M Ankeny, in distributive education, helps us to start our careers. Left to right: Virginia L Christ, Margaret M.
