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.

Page 14 THE LEGEND Rotogravure Mechartical Drawing One of the most popular sub- jects a boy can take is mechanical drawing. Mr. Cleaver is an efficient instructor of the study. Everything that can be of aid to the pupils is furnished. Each pupil is equipped with the latest in draftsman's tools and materials. In addition, many useful blueprints are made and magazines are furnished from which many ideas may be obtained. Stain Room The boys in manual training classes have a chance to give their products a fine coat of stain, paint, or lacquer in the stain room. A modern spray gun for staining and painting is available to the pupils. Only the best materials are used in this room at a small cost to the student. Wood Work Many useful articles for the home, yard, and other places are made by Mr. Thompson's manual training classes. All of the saws, lathes, and much other machinery are of the latest types and models. Boys learn how to use their hands skillfully in this course. Four large, well ventilated rooms are used to instruct the boys who are interested in this type of work. Metal Work In years to come, as at present, North Side will probably turn out boys who may become mighty fine steelworkers, as the opportunity is offered here to learn the basic principles of metal work. Every- thing from sheet metal work to the operation of steel lathes is includ- ed. In addition to metal work, Mr. Schellschmidt instructs pupils how to make useful articles of cement.
