Left to Right: Donna Connelly, Robert Phillips, James Goeteheus. Mr. I-Iowe's Business Arithmetic class solves many kinds of practical problems dealing with savings banks, fire insurance, partnerships, stocks and bonds, taxes and commissions. In this picture the students are working out a problem to reconcile the balances in a checking account. The practical knowledge gained from the solution of these problems should help the students to cope with many situations in life after school is over. Besides this course we may take Algebra or Geometry depending on our plans after high school. MEANS T0 AN END In Mr. Whitebread's Physics' class different types of experiments are performed throughout the year. The students shown in the pic- ture are experimenting to deter- mine the linear expansion of metals. Our lab. is equipped with many new instruments with which to work more efiiciently. The students have divided themselves into three different groups so that three ex- periments can be done at the same time. Individual experimentation in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics make the classes more educational and interesting. Up to this year we had to watch one student or the teacher perform the experi- ment. Now we can do it ourselves -the lab. has had its Finishing Touches. i Left to Right: James Connelly. Edward Struck. Fhurles Byron. George Ferris.
