D. Lanqlois, R. Walk, I. Hanson, D. Lund, and G. Martz perform an experiment with heat in Physics. This has been referred to as the Atomic Age. Should this be the case, then science has brought it about. The world today is one of high mechaniza- tion brought about by the scientific knowledge of chemists, biologists, and physicists. In their labora- tories, dreams have become realities, principles have become laws, and experimentation has succeeded prejudiced presuppositions. Theirs, it is true, is a field of high specialization, but science should be and can be of knowledge and interest to all of us. This knowledge can be stimulated and furthered in high school by following courses in the scientific vein. In Iunior High School, general science is taught. This lays the foundation for advanced learning. The age old complexities that may have brothered us at one time are elementarily explained. Here the basis should be laid for further quest to the answers of the mysteries that conquered men of past eras. Today, man conquers more of nature, quicker, easier, and more inexpensively than he ever did before. The study of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics is in a specialized field and is offered to students of the Senior High School as an elective in their cur- riculum. Here more experimentation is used to find the answers. The new equipment in these rooms gives to the student the tools with which these answers are obtained.

'wwf Mathematics The key to success in most vocations is mathe- matics. This key is locked behind the doors of the future, and for this reason many do not realize what it includes, the serious implications behind its study, and the results that it brings in the future. Living with and getting along in the world pre- sents many problems that must be carefully thought over, and a system worked out for their solving. Math teaches one how to do this project. Engineering, teaching, aviation, and many others are vocations in which math plays a major part. Learning the fundamentals of numbers is not as difficult a task as it may seem. Learning the areas and volumes of plane or solid surfaces can be easily learned by anyone. R Gcrend, R, Charles, A. Ioy, and C. Locke explain Geometry El Algebra students work their problems at the board while drawings to the Class. others look on with interest :iq N
