The Shipbuilder page twe ty'sem NATURAL SCIENCES Science in its broadest meaning is the sum of universal knowledge. However the science discussed here will come under the caption, Natural Science, which has four great divis- ions, Biology, the science of living or- ganisms, Chemistry, the science con- cerning the composition of all mater- ialsg Physics, the science concerning the laws governing the phenomena associated with matter, and Astron- omy, the study of the Universe. The first three sciences, and General Science, which is a summarization of all four - are offered in nearly all the courses given in Norwell High School. The Natural Sciences are taught by Mr. Sipple who holds forth in the laboratory, which is an exceptionally ine one for a high school of this size. The laboratory has recently been equipped for the complete study of high school Physics and Chemistry. The laboratory has also become somewhat of a museum and while it is impossible to keep such specimens as, turtles, bats, bees, snakes, frogs, etc., for any length of time, three or four of these interesting biological victims can generally be found in the lab, either in full possession of their natural power or in formaldehyde. At noon time the lab is often the scene of some experiment or the preparation of one. As Mr. Sipple tinkers with an electric motor, a steam engine, or a preserved frog, gradually a crowd of pupils begins to gather. Finally when the bystand- ers become about three deep, Mr. Sip- ple will look up from his work HJ, notice them, and shoo them out of the room. This I think proves that the Natural Sciences are the most in- teresting subjects taught in the high school. Stanley Henderson, '38 This has been a grand year in our new building! Alcester Weare placed among those eligible for scholarships at Tufts Col- lege. The student Council has proved a very worth while organization. THE ROMANCE OF FARMING This, the most thrilling of profes- sions, was my pleasure this summer. You may not believe that there is an art to this idol of man's dreams, but I can assure you that it takes great skill and concentration to learn. A person must first pay hundreds of dollars going to Amherts Aggy, then he must work for years on an experi- mental farm just to get the experi- ence. He must understand that this is with no wages until he has learned all there is to learn about thorough- bred cattle. Then comes the first real paying job. All he has to do is break his back from sunrise to sundown and at the end of the week collect his enor- mous pay of eight dollars. He has the wonderful opportunity of work- ing in the hay field with the blistering hot sun and hay seeds making his work enjoyable. Every morning and night he can practice his house work in the scuttles behind the cows. Yes, as a whole my summer was one big flop. Cin more ways than onel. D. Currie, '38 The booklet form of diploma has been approved by the student body. The Art Department has certainly produced some excellent posters. The Norwell lunch room can't be beat in quality and price. Mr. Allen, Correct this sentence. 'Girls is naturally better looking than boys'. M. Dowd: Girls is artificially bet- er looking than boys.

Sylvia: Well, a sign in a window back there said, 'Hats, 5510 upl' and we just passed another window with a sign that says, 'Radios, S10 down'. :li Pk 24 ill Pl: Rosebach Qwaiting outside Miss Roe's officej How do you do ?
