DOYLE Registrar pgs-zig' MATHEMATICS Under the firm and able guidance of a scholarly faculty, the Mathematics Department at Leo High School opens to engineering aspirants and future businessmen, a complete course in methesis. The four-year course offers Elementary Algebra to the freshman. In the second year the student finds mental exer- cise in Plane Geometry. In his third year the student takes Advanced Algebra for one semester and Plane Trigonome- try the second, while the Senior may take Algebra III and Solid Geometry. The large number of Leo graduates who have won scholarships and distinguished places in the various col- leges and universities, attests to Leo's high standard of scholastic excellence. GENERAL SCIENCE Your environment has undoubtedly been a source of awe- inspiring wonder to most of you. How do flowers and grass grow from things called seeds and how are objects in nature made useful to man? You have no doubt pondered often over similar puzzling questions. Leo High School feels a well-founded pride in its well- equipped Science Laboratory and in the excellent work done by its teachers. First-year students who desire knowl- edge in science may continue their scientific studies in Physics in their third year. This course in General Science is the first of the scientific studies which have proven most popular at Leo. PHYSICS Physics, the second of the sciences studied at Leo, is the fascinating examination of the physical forces, electricity and mechanics that play such an important part in the machine-crazed world of today. The mechanics of the automobile, the intricate and brain- teasing questions about falling bodies, and the bewildering though amazing tricks of electricity have always aroused the curiosity of thinking people-people who have an in- terest in the wonderful implements and instruments that Cod has placed on earth. The physics laboratory at Leo High School would bring joy to the heart of any prospective physicist, engineer or mechanically-minded young man. CHEMISTRY In his fourth year, the science student will probably find chemistry the most engrossing of all his studies. Test tubes, multi-colored flames, bright colored compounds and solu- tions make the laboratory periods extremely interestingg while in the class periods, the student studies the theoretical results of the coming experiment. The actual experimenta- tion holds a suddenly adult fascination for most students. The suffocating odors and stained hands become only a routine part of this most interesting of subjects which is invaluable to future engineers. The Leo High School chemistry laboratory is a well- equipped and efficiently supervised hall of learning. Ample equipment and chemicals, coupled with an understanding of the subject form an unbeatable combination. Eighteen ...dn

MECHANICAL DRAWING lVlechanical Drawing is a most important subject for young men who wish to have near perfection in the planning and draft- ing end of engineering. The skill and precision needed for suc- r cess in the engineering field are exercised. polished and perfected , in this course.
