In the fall they raise vegetable gardens, and in the spring their study turns to flowers. At the sarne time boys are interested in var- ied vocational classes such as ANIMAL HUS- BANDRY where Mr. Barnhart teaches future farmers of America basic principles from books before they are ready for real outdoor work. XVith eager anticipation Marilyn Launer, member of Mr. Emde's HOME GARDENING class, looks forward to the day when the flowers in her own garden will bloom.

Cience courses challen Oc M an . future doctors, f6ChllICICll1.S'. I of Upon entering Mr. Wilcox's science room one notices the unmistakable odor that accompanies all CHEMISTRY classes. Remember the day someone spilled nitric acid on the table and watched the threatening look on the teacher's face as the guilty student tried to explain why that smoking hole was in the table? And then there are the PHYSICS students who. for the mental gratification of passing the course. work two hours on problems such as this: A rock is dropped over a Vertical cliff. Air temperature is 24.3:C. Pressure is 14.2 lbs in? There is an up- draft of 20 miles per hr. The sound is heard 6.2 sec. later. How tall is the cliff? Mr. Emde's BIOLOGY students have problems too. but a different kind. Theirs include pondering over such subjects as worms: flat worms, round worms, square worms, muscles of the body, etc. -XL!

Weld- ing and handling other machin- ery hurl a challenge in FARM MECHANICS for the mechanic- ally-minded sophomore, junior, and senior fellows.
