-I-hi? page Seventeen Science Department The Science Department this year is exceedingly fortunate. The school has been able to purchase a new microscope and a micro-projector. This new equip- ment was made by the Spenser Lens Com- pany, and the lenses are said to be par- ticularly fine. The microscope has the powers to magnify IOO times andh44tl times. lt takes a great deal of time for a whole class to observe the actions taking place under a microscope. This new micro-projector, which projects these happenings upon a screen, enables the whole class to see what is taking place. Microscopic functions are often not re- peated so in order to clearly see the entire function, this new apparatus is most important. A projection lamp is also included with the new equipment. which facilitates observations whenever a strong beam of light is necessary. Dr. Tenney Davis, one of Norwell's most prominent citizens, has given many books and magazines to help increase the Scientific Section of our School Library. Dr. Davis has also generously given an excellent collection of rocks and crystals for the school museum, which is rapidly increasing. Dr. Davis also has many chemicals which he has offered to turn over to the school in order to increase the equipment to be used in Chemistry ex- periments. Dr. Davis gave a most interesting as- sembly in january connected with Chem- istry. His choice of subject dealt mostly with explosives. The School lyluseum, to which Dr. Davis has so generously contributed. needs the help of everyone. If you have something to add, the Science Depart- ment will appreciate your contribution toward expanding its collection. Barlanru Clark '-10. LAUGHS IOKES You can take it as an elementary con- ception that when an article is sold, it goes to the buyer, said Mr. Thayer in the economics class. XVith the exception of coal, cliirped the bright senior, Donald Burnside. And why coal? asked Mr. Thayer. XVhen that's bought, it goes to the cellar. Pr. Gleason. So you finally heard from that college boy who took you out? M. Skelding: Yes, and he's a real gent. he is. He asked me if I got home lrom the dance he took me to all right. NV. Merritt: Speaking about baseball, I've got a baseball dog. XV. Osborne: XVhat makes you call him a baseball dog? XV. Merritt: Because he wears a mul- zle, catches flies, chases fowls, and beats it for home when he sees the catcher com- ing. Mr. Johnston had been instructing the eighth grade children to say double whenever two of the same letter appeared together in a word. One day the class came to this sentence in their English book.

Joseph fscanning her criticallyj: XVhy, darling, you have it on. YVell, my boy, said R. Newcomb's Uncle, and how are you getting on at school? Robert looked a trifle despondent.
