. 1... This is the Wake Up or Blow Up Department. These chemistry students look dubious as Mr. Smith prepares for an experiment. With the rising importance of science in this atomic age, there is a drastic need for more young people to train for this field. The main purpose of classes in physics, chemistry, general science and biology, however, is to teach the student not only abfout the world in which he lives, but to help him to think for himself and reason scientifically, with an open mind. The science department made progress from the very beginning of the year. The general science and biology classes spon- sored a display of proiects, which were composed of collections of various types of seashells, proiects on astronomy, and other phases of science. When the science department was finally completed, the new laboratories were found to be well equipped for their experiments, and the teachers and students set out to build a department of which the school may be proud.

Q ii This is English? This is the part of homework that the teacher doesn't see. Forensic Club members assume the usual expressions for Mr. Mclntosh. Ed Shipley, president, and Miss Winslow, sponsor relax as the club members pose.

As the school and its students have grown, so has the English Department. Besides the regular four years of English, during which the pupils study grammar and literature, courses are offered in dramatics, college preparatory English, and Shakespeare. In fact, there are so many sidelines in the department that English ain't just English any more. English, first a means of com- munication, has now become an art. A student at Smith High may go into it as deeply as he wishes. He may sit at the feet of Mr. Brickell as he expounds Shake- speare's immortal works, or trod the boards in the guise of a dramatist or orator, or express himself through the media of The Tiger, or The Tattler, or the creative booklet of the forensic events.
