MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL 69 terms, found in the factory, are applied. Both branches include the study of measurement, liquids, gases, heat-expansion and transmission, water-ice, steam and their relations, heat engines, magnetism, electricity, sound, light, color and lenses. The work taken up by the boys is slightly more advanced and includes non-parallel forces, elasticity and strength of materials, force and acceleration, energy and momentum. The laboratory is an important factor in making the study of physics inte1'esting and successful, and in M. H. S. the laboratory is moderately equipped with the best apparatus necessary for completing the experiments encountered in physics. The chief aim in studying this course is to present elementary physics in such a Way as to stimulate the pupil to do some thinking on his own account about the hows and whys of the physical world in which we live. THE MANUAL TRAINING CLASS. The Manual Training class of 1915-16 proved to be one of the best so far in the history of M. H. S. Mr. White, the instructor, has an enrollment of sixteen boys from the Freshman, Senior and Sophomore classes. The first semester was devoted entirely to mechanical drawing, which in- cluded cross-hatching, geometrical designing, orthograpliic, iso- metric, cabinet projections and joints. In all, about thirty plates were made during the time spent in the old building. The second semester was given to wood work, varnishing, painting, blue prints, etc. Many line pieces of furniture, work bench fixtures, etc., were made by the boys, which will be a sou- venir of the work that they accomplished. -ll AGRICULTURE. The study of agriculture, until recent years, was regarded worthy of a place in schools by a few of the highest teachers only, but todav nearly every one realizes the value of this study, which teaches farming scientifically. The M. H. S. agricultural class has taken up the studv of farm crops, weeds, fertilizers, agastology, soils, agronomv, landscape gardening, farm management, animal husbandry, horticulture, forestry and poultry. Lectures are given daily on the different subjects which are connected with the study of agriculture. Some time is spent in research work and a careful study is made of the annual reports sent out by the Kansas State Agricultural College. The agricultural class of the second semester consists of boys exclusively. Much time is spent on experiments and other labora- tory work.

MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL 71 The Alpha Literary Society February 11, 1916, the Alpha Literary Society was organized with a membership of twenty-five students, and the officers were elected. The constitution was drawn up, which stated the aim of the society to be the training of our literary-tasted in elocution, debating, music and other subjects. It also provided for a busi- ness meeting every Wednesday evening at 3:30, and a program every two weeks, beginning February 25. The membership is limited to thirty-live, not including members of the Faculty. The name, Alpha, meaning first, was given the society. The programs are given on Friday afternoons and aim to break the monotony of school Work by the variation in the selec- tions rendered. They are looked forward to with pleasure by the student body and much enthusiasm has been aroused through them. The programs have been very good, considering the recent organization of the society, and have not only given the High School some good entertainment, but have also been very bene- ficial to those taking part in them. Much credit is given to Miss Richards, the English teacher, who has been a strong aid in organizing the society and carrying it on successfully. We hope the literary society may become a permanent resi- dent in M. H. S. and that in 1917 it may become stronger in or- ganization and membership. OFFICERS. President, Hattie McNulty.
