Rotogravure THE LEGEND Page 7 Chemistry Lab Many times the odors and noises issuing from this room have driven other pupils to distraction, but nevertheless the chemistry students under the direction of His Honor Pop Suter continue to pursue their experimenting, for they've heard that we're living in more or less of a Chemistry Agef' and a smart chemist-enough said. History Class If may be about King Tut's Tomb that this first hour history class is studying, but it is taught in the most modern manner. Vis- ual education, when available, is found most effective. And the Kodak Klan and Miss Bash have arranged to borrow films from In- diana University to throw lightu on many of our high school sub- jects. Biology Lab Youngsters experimenting and working in the biology laboratory often get a Christopher Colum- bus thrill, for they discover ffor themselvesj a whole new world of science. This subject is especially interesting because it teaches about the human body and the laws of life through a study of organisms. Miss Alexander has extensive col- lections of materials to make her class work interesting. v 1 1 4 An English Class Mr. Charles Dickinson has been with North Side ever since it was established, in the capacity of Eng- lish instructor. However, that is not his only responsibility, for he also supervises the publication of Ripples.', His classes, like most others in that essential subject, are very interesting and beneficial to those who are enrolled in them. For a mastery of English is a sure road to success.

The beautiful site where North Mr. Eyster, school treasurer. Miss Greenwalt and Miss Roller, Junior Red Cross. Side now stands was formerly a wretched plot of land overrun by weeds and very swampy in ap-l pearance. Qften the high water of the St. Joseph River Hooded the lot during the rainy season of the year. It was truly a scene of un- cared-for public property. In a space ofa very few years this prop- erty has become the site of a large skillfully-constructed high school building. In the fall of 1927 a temporary board walk bordered the school campus, and the street in front of the school was wealthy in ruts and mire. The river banks were cov- erecl with scraggly weeds and were badly misshapen, and they attrac- ted the eye, but not with beauty they possessed. and detracted in a great measure from the beauty of the school. The first improvements were confined to points directly around the school. A cement boulevard and sidewalk wer e constructed around the school as very efficient substitutes for the former board walks and the dirt street. Each year at the ceremony of the graduating class, ivy was plant- ed, and many of these took root and grew, greatly adding to the beauty of the ground surrounding the school. me 'limi I
