an itl- l'llYSlt'S t'l..XSS This year's physics class is under the 'lirection of Mr. Richard ti. l.ester and consists oi eleven hoys. This year the hoys studied electricity, light, atomic energy, heat, sound, and mechanics. Most of the hoys niade radios for their class projects. The other hoys repaired radios, made phono- graphs or worked other experiments. 1.1111 t.lzIN l',ll.Xl , bhllzht lu lfor soine unknown reason, every girl in high school wanted to take general science this year. Could it he the teachers? XVe will never know, hut Mr. Rohert Saunders and Nlr. Talkin are doing a line joh ol teaching this snlmject to the freshinen. General science is the basis of all high school science courses, taking the place of physiology which was taught in foriner years. XVe feel eer- tain that some renowned scientist will undoubtedly coine from these seven classes taught hy such ahle and outstanding instructors. 118.- Cl l lihl l STRY Sizzle! Hang! l-'opl Wvhooshl XVhat was that? Did someone drop an atoniic-stink hoinh on the second floor? No, nothing like that. lt's just the students in the chemistry classes doing an experiment. These classes are taught hy Mr. l.ester during the fourth and fifth periods. The fourth period class does its lahoratory work on Tuesdays and lfridays. while the lifth period class does its laboratory work on XVednesdays and Fridays. The rest of the week is given over to filling in the workhook, recitation, and dis- cussion. Drop around and see us some time. B lOl .GGY Collecting leaves in the fall and working on the conservation project during the winter were the two hig events in the life of the hiology classes. The three classes, under the direction of Miss Kathryn Rowley, gathered leaves as the preceding classes have done. Their new project which took several weeks was the conservation work. llesides the special projects the classes did all the regular hiology work such as dissecting aniinals, wornis, etc.

l'.Xl,1LlSH Upon entering high school, we resigned our- selves to at least three years of English. which are required. However, in the first year under the in- struction ot' M rs. Robert Saunders, Miss Kathryn Rowley, or Mrs. Scott Shrode, we found that linglish actually proved interesting. Not only did we do our practice sheets diligently and make book reports, but we also studied literature and were captivated by Treasure Island. On becoming a sophomore, directed by Miss Mae Anderson or Mrs. Darroll Chapman, we breathlessly read A Tale of Treo C'ifies by the innnortal Dickens. We were introduced to Shakespe.1re's works in the tragedy Macbeth our junior year under Miss Florence Dahlberg or Miss Anderson. Speeches and vocabulary work also were part of class. At last a senior, perhaps choosing another year of English, we were given our final high school instruction by Miss Dahlberg. ....19..
