Linnrll Mcllheron Mendenhall Neuman Nolan ' 3 Mathematics Department Not to create mathematicians but to instruct the students in such mathe- matics fundamental to their comprehension of further courses to be under- taken, is the aim of this department. The curriculum offers four semesters of algebra, three of geometry, one of trigonometry, and business arithmetic. This department also aims to develop habits of thought which are logical, orderly, exact. and analytical. Constant effort made on the part of the student for the acquisition of this important division of his mental equipment will. in future years, enable him not only to meet problems independently and to work correct solutions. but to apply the principle of solution to all situations. rg nn Y I TEACHERS MR.

The practice and the study of the subjects not only give the pupil a working knowledge of bookkeeping, accountancy. and stenography. but develop initiative, efficiency, reliability, and accuracy. The department sponsors a Commercial Club, founded in 1921, which is always one of the largest in ,membership and activities in the school. Every year there are district and state contests in typing, shorthand, and other commercial subjects. The Central Commercial department always places members in all events.

Overholser Ovcrmin Recd Rhonemus Richey The Science Department The importance of this department cannot be over-estimated when one considers the course of study offered. This includes Chemistry, Physics. Biology, the General Science as a required subject for freshmen. ln co-ordi- nation with the textbook material, laboratory experiments are provided. Through visits to local manufacturing plants. and projects of a scientific nature in the home or laboratory, pupils are given the opportunity for the study of the practical side of scientific theories. This work is supplemented by lectures, movies, exhibitions, and periodicals. ln the course of the year each student is required either to construct a project according to scientific principles or to write an essay on some phase of science. Students annually contest for prizes offered by the National Chemical Essay Society. These essays are con- sidered as one of the required projects. Our mission is not to qualify students as expert engineers, chemists, or physicists. but is to make the most eilicient use of the allotted the depart- ment in a thorough and practical course of instruction. Thus the student may be best fitted to apply his knowledge in further study after graduation. TEACHERS MR. EDMISTON, HEAD Mr. Criies Mr. Huber Miss Linnell Mr. Stheuerman
