Wlorking in connection with the hiology, chem- istry, and physics divi- sions, the general science students get a hctter-than- average lmackground on which to work. The hiol- ogy division, offered chief- ly to tenth graders, has planned field trips this year to further associate thc students with the world ahout them. ln chemistry, a more detailed study is made than in any other division, with increased emphasis living put on atomic struc- ture in its relation to the formation of chemical compounds. With the addition of hundreds of dollars worth of equipment, the physics department gives future engineers an insight into the various fields open to them. fLEs'1'0N NAY

OWITH A WELL EQUIPPED SHOP, not with- standing the fact that at times materials are difficult to ohtain, the students may work on numerous projects. including coffee tables, serving trays, hed-side tables, and book holders, many times planning the de- signs of these articles themselves. ln mechanical drawing, the student finds a 'amustv for engineering and physics courses in college. Students often arc alrle immedi- ately to use their knowledge of mechanical drawing in planning designs for manual training.
