Spanish class studied hard under the supervision of Mrs. Thelma Cross. Language held great attrac- tion for us ; and, as time passed, we all enjoyed our Latin and Spanish classes. We soon found ourselves looking for- ward to the hours spent in these classes. WHILE SPANISH AND SHOP WERE AMONG OUR OTHER INTERESTS John Brockemeyer and Max Hawkins obtained actual practice in the use of shapers. Actual ex- perience held great fascina- tion for all of us, and the boys in Shields enjoyed the time spent in industrial arts classes. We worked with wood and were aided by our supervisor in machine shop where we learned much about different pieces of equip- ment.

How many natural occuring elements are known by man? Questions of this type and many more were asked in chemistry class every day by our instructor, Mr. Robert R. Bell. There was an abundance of material to be studied and learned in this course, and sometimes we found it very difficult to remember all those different formulas. But after a busy year working on special assignments and laboratory ex- periments, we felt that our time in chemistry class had been well-spent. CHEMISTRY AND MATH HELD GREAT ATTRACTION FOR US . . . a x- + b X — c = 0 This and many other mathematical equations were solved all year by the students under the super- vision of our good friend and math instructor, Mr. J. Avery Dittmer. Although it was some- times a struggle, especially around exam-time, when we had to do last-minute cramming, we look back on our math classes and remember them as happy hours. 12 ' .sjHRSMirqiWiWitDinmKiSBMttniamMRKin

THERE V ERE PRACTICAL SERVICES Several drivers ' training students change a tire before beginning their practice-driving. We always looked forward to the fun we had in drivers ' training class. We all con- sidered the actual experience that we obtained in this course very valuable. Our instructors, Mr. Dittmer and Mr. Cili, were patient with us and saw that we had the ability to pass the examination for a driver ' s license. The SHS study hall was usually the place where we crammed for that exam we were dreading next period. Of course, after we had finished our lessons, we could always read from a wide selection of books, magazines, and news- papers. Mrs. Hildegard Mont- gomery and Mrs. Alice Walters were the supervisors.
