JlfeL gAGAWASIE Cnllcyr Department ;['.JgsPi-z f |l 11-1 Junior College Department makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. Two years of College work are given, which qualify the students completing to enter the Junior class at other colleges and universities. Although academic education is not the primary purpose of the institution, the College department fills a real need in the life of the school, and makes its influence felt in all activities. The eight members of the Knglish I class have imbibed such a thorough knowledge of Shakespeare that they may be recognized anywhere by their meditative expressions. The Knglish II class of nine members have become highly proficient in art of argumentation; they will undertake to prove to you conclusively that you are not alive, or that a cat has three tails The German 1 class of three members and the German II class of four have made wonderful progress. Even a well read Deutscher from ‘Tier Vaterland would be hard put to it to understand their mutterings at times. The classes in Knglish and American History have gained so complete a knowledge of Constitutions in general that any one of their members could settle the stormy conditions in Mexico in short order. Mr. Wolf neglects no opportunity of extolling the ability of the eight shining lights of Chemistry II as mixers « f solutions and manufacturers of chemicals. An occasional explosion or conflagration no longer disturbs their tranquillity. They are even becoming reconciled to washing greasy lest tubes containing butter, egg yolks and other sticky substances. The eight Chemistry I sharks have toiled faithfully through the known and unknowns of qualitative analysis with the fond hope of some time becoming equal to the brilliance of their predecessors. The Physics class of six students has set a record that succeeding classes will find hard to equal. Ask any one of them how much the water weighs in Lake Superior and he will go into a comatose state for some time, and then produce an answer that you can not contradict. A Trigonometry class of six members burned the midnight juice without ceasing. As to results, we only know that the balls re-echoed to the strain of “Have you got your Trig? until those big imposing books began to be looked upon with much respect by the uninitiated. An Algebra class of five members easily mastered three and four legged indeterminates. with a whispered prayer of thanksgiving that they were not centipedes. Cats and guinea-pigs were the victims of the Physiology class, and their dissection was attended with much grewsome interest. The three members of the class used the microscope on everything they could cut small enough to put under it. During the last half of the year Bacteriology was taken up instead of Physiology, and the class was increased to six. The embryo Bacteriologists now talk glibly of schvzomyceies and baccillus prodigiostis. and even claim to know what the beasts are. The Psychology class of nine members became thoroughly familiar with the mysterious workings of the human mind. It was not safe to allow one of this class to talk to you: for he was likely to be gathering material and evidence to prove that you were feebleminded. The class in Education consisted of six members. Some of the new theories advocated by these would-be educators would no doubt revolutionize the world if they could be put into practice. $! if brills Viol: . lo-nt .in Anna Urniin Klmor nmeo J.
