Mr. Noel Whitte vay all doubts and girls that bugs are not big. black, and hairy. Scientists, Mathematicians Probed, Pried for Solutions Science courses, biology, botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, and earth science, were varied to offer something of interest to every student. All courses were taught with the idea of diligent practice and repeated experimentation and incorporated bookwork. The book- work and laboratory work was found in the texts and in the new laboratories respectively. Rooms 230 and 232, old history classrooms, were transformed into one large classroom with lab facilities. This new lab aided greatly by providing additional space. New equipment, mineral testing equipment and ripple tanks for wave study assisted teachers in chemistry, physics, and earth science classes, while a new polaroid camera aided all science classes. It continually snapped pictures which were saved and studied at a later date. The camera was used for checking equipment at the year ' s close. Insect collections, radiation experiments, and class demonstra- tions were special projects by students. These projects were com- pleted over a period of time, such as the insect collections extended from the beginning of one semester to the conclusion of that same semester. Occupying a great deal of time and requiring a lot of stu- dious work, the projects deepened and widened a student ' s knowl- edge in a particular phase of the subject. In many instances these extra projects helped a student decide if science was the chosen profession for him.

Salesmanship Gave Unique Variety as Business Students Mike Boles answers his comprehension test questions with confidence and Salesmanship, a new course in North Side ' s business curriculum, attracted many students during the 196 -64 school year. The course dealt with the development of the ability to sell not only one ' s product but also one ' s commodity and service. The purpose of the course was to reach poise, self-confidence, and correct procedure. Also taught were the business courses ranging from clerical practice to business arithmeti c. These courses developed office and secretarial skills needed by the business majors in their later pro- fessions. In the clerical practice classes a new transcribing machine aided in filling out teacher ' s orders for mimeograph copies of tests and in- formation sheets. The instrument was very helpful in teaching the students correct procedure in an office. Mr. Robert Traster headed the business department this year, and he was often seen scurrying about in his efforts to keep the department operating efficiently. These touch typists thump their typewriters.
