Page 12 THE LEGEND Rotogravure Study Hall Of the many rooms at North Side probably one of the best known to all of the pupils is the Study Hall. It is a well-known fact that without study it is hard to learn. It was with this axiom in mind that so much room was given to a study hall in the building of North Side. Here under the watch- ful eye of Mrs. Clark, students gather during the eight periods a day to study. Physics Lab. Ever since the beginning of his- tory man has attempted to explain the physical phenomena about him. This desire to lcnow how and why things happen has developed into the science known as physics. North Side has a most complete and modern laboratory for the demonstrating of the principles upon which these phenomena are based. Here the how and why of these phenomena are explained to the fullest satisfaction of the stu- dent. P. G. Class Room Here in Mr. Fredrick Breeze's class, physical geography, a study of manis natural environment, is taught. Some of the chief prob- lems in physical geography are characteristic features of plains, plateaus, and mountains, how cli- mate modihes surfaces, how soils are formed, and how climate af- fects human life and determines manis daily activities. Biology Lab. One of the most interesting stud- ies offered to the pupils of North Side is the course entitled biology, which deals with the evolution of mankind. In order to further the study and afford a practical work- ing place, a most complete and m o d e r n laboratory has been equipped with all devices for dis- secting and studying the formation of all types of animals.
