The ag boys learned the advantages of contour farming as well as the disadvantages of planting winter wheat in the spring--useful information, to be sure. Be- sides learning, among other things, how to test the heat of baby's milk, home ec students learned the difference between a pork chop and a T-bone steak. Boyd Boyer, B, S, , Kansas State college, was the instructor for all vocational agriculture courses.

Gerald Travis, B.S., M.S. , Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg, teaches physics. Miss Mary Norris, B. S. , Fort Hays State College, has done graduate work at Northwestern University, Colo- rado University, and Colorado State Teachers College. She teaches algebra, geometry, and mechanical drawing. Gene Ward, B. S. , Kansas State College, science instructor, did graduate study at the University of California at Los Angeles. GERALD TRAVIS MISS MARY NORRIS GENE WARD Wa flu, Science Wydferied M e ra ina Science and mathematics courses offer plenty of study and hard work as well as fun and entertainment. Finding the mechanical advan- tage of a second-class lever in Mr. Travis' physics class, figuring the time a bus arrives in New York after leaving St. Louis at 10:30 in Miss Smika's general math class, or finding the size of angleAin Miss Norris classes give reasons for burning midnight oil. Playing with a steam en- gine in general science, dissecting a grasshopper in biology, and dodging that unexpected explosion in chemistry give thrills to Mr. Ward's classes, too.

Films and study of the American Observer kept American history and world history classes well-informed. In November the constitution classes sponsored a mock election for all-school participation in learn- ing election procedure. Economics, offered during the second semester, taught students, through class discussion, about the science of earning a living, and about reasons for the rise and fall of prices.
