SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS Mathematics is the foundation ot science cmd at the same time both science and mathematics are useful subjects which are profitable in every- day living. Both subjects encourage independent thinking and reasoning. Most vocations depend to some degree, at least, upon science and math- ematics. . Sciences include chemistry, physics, and biolo- gy. Math courses offered here include such classes as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced courses related to each. Students usually come to high school fairly well grounded in science from other schools. Central Iunior High, tor ex- ample, offers an excellent general science course, although general science does not count on credit toward a college entrance diploma. Science and math courses emphasize accuracy and precision.

In our high school at the present time industrial arts is limited to Woodshop. machine shop, and printing. It is the hope of many in this community that some day this department may be enlarged and improved to tit more adequately the needs of an industrial community such as Muskegon Heights. t Woodshop offers students an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of hand tool and machine wood working, and offers some experiences in some of the fields of wood working vocations. Machine shop offers a study in machine opera- tion, arc welding, and acetylene welding. Print- ing teaches the fundamentals ol the printing trade, and includes an interesting study ol the history ot printing. In addition, the high school print shop is responsible for printing all of the high school literature, forms, and extra-curricular publications like The Oaks and The Acom. CALVIN F.

Physical Education for Girls Booster Club Advisor Western Michigan College of Education BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The boys' physical education department teach- es the student calisthenics, marching, basketball, passball, baseball. tennis, and track. Intramural games in basketball, passball, and baseball do a great deal to interest the average student. The spirit of competition involved gives the boys added enthusiasm for the game while at the same time it builds strong bodies and helps to produce alertness. All sophomore boys are required to take physi- cal education, and senior boys ever since the last war have also been required to enroll for physical education. The majority ol boys enjoy the work.
