JACK MILLER History Chem-Study Complements Science Courses In the present age of science and space the MHS sci- ence departme nt has assumed the task of acquainting its students with the wonderful world around them and the physical laws that govern their lives. In addition to the three lab courses — biology, chem- istry, and physics — a general science program is of- fered. Newest addition to the curricula is chem-study, a highly concentrative chemistry class, conducted by Mr. Paul Holm. To meet the demands of increased enrollment, two new science teachers, Mr. George Dodd and Mr. Har- vard Schmidt, joined the faculty, and a classroom was converted to an additional biology lab.

Juniors concentrate their study on American history from its discovery to the present. Tenth and eleventh grade honors classes offer greater challenge to qualified students. Government, covering the state and national orga- nization plus a brief study of Communism, is required of seniors. For interested students economics and geog- raphy are also offered.

While learning to take dictation, shorthand students are ex- posed to varying office situations, which serve as guides for them in choosing a career.
