BIOLOGY tttl e students feel that our science work has been a success. The Biology department has in its study taken into consideration many things of importance to students. Biology is a study of living things , plants and animals. In our study we have learned, How these things live; their relation to one another; how they depend upon the physical world about them; and man ' s power to control 1bem. It has been fascinating and interesting . 0 AGRICULTURE In the fall of ]927 but few fellows signed up for Agriculture. From the good advertising we have given the course, there are indications that there will be a larger enrollment next year. We studied crops and their environment; soils, their classes and textures ; farm management, and crop rotations. Everything was done to make it a very beneficial and interesting course. We look forward to a bigger and better science department next year We have appreciated Mr. Cooper ' s efforts and wish him success.

HISTORY he course in history for the year 1927-28 has been immensely inte)-esting. History is as old as yesterday, as true as today and as new as tomorrow. Our text this year has been especially fitting, it being Our World Today and Yesterday. Of course we are all interested in today ' s work and from the past we build our characters of today and the future. R. M. Kerr has rnade all history students love him by the methods he has used, his excellent opinions and advice and general kindness. 0 CIVICS The course offered in civics this year has been interesting and helpful to the students. The study of civics is the one subject that helps most to form a solid foundation for the coming generations to build a firm character upon. It is a study of the laws of the land. It helps one to choose a suitable vocation to follow through life. This year each student in the civics classes had to give a report on their chosen occupation. Through the close study of these oc- cupations they were made to realize more fully the advantages and dis- advantages they would meet in becoming efficient in their professions. Through the helpful suggestions and tireless efforts of Mr. Nelson, the students realize how essential it is that they become intelligent and worthy citizens. He has also succeeded in making the civics class one of the best in the high school.

Classes in technical work such as harmony, fundamentals and instruction in vocal and instrumental work have been conducted.
