Science Emphasizes Natural World. A good science department tries to explain the whys of today's world, to excite the students' interest in nature and its laws, and to sponsor various proiects for students interested in careers in science. By these standards, the South High Science Department can be iudged as an excellent one. Mr. Harry Flister, Mr. Evan Hughes, Mr. Frank Napier, and Mr. William Steiner acquaint our students with the won- ders ot the natural world around us. ln such courses as General Chem- istry and Applied Physics, a student is taught the the fundamentals of the laws of nature. Such courses as B.S.C.S., Advanced Biology, and Advanced Chemistry enable a student planning a career in medicine, nursing, chemical engineering, etc. to acquaint himself with these laws on a more intense level. Through the many projects possible for stu- dents, this classrooom knowledge can be applied to specific problems. For these reasons, our science department can be considered one of the best in the area. MR. HARRY FLISTER MR.

N.. The Business Dept. Offers an Up-to-date program. ' if X. A-31. MRS. MARCIA HILL Mrs. Hill looks over the work of Carol Gallagher in the fifth period Typing I C ass. South High School should be quite proud of its excellent Business De- partment. Students enrolled in the business courses are given a practical, well-rounded education, suiting them in the best possible way for eventual careers in the business world . At the same time, those students partici- pating in other courses find many of the business classes of great value in their everyday lives, and a contribution to their total education. The business courses are some of the most modern offered at South High. Students are exposed to the numerous business machines and neces- sary techniques encountered in big business through the instruction of the business teachers, Mrs. Hill, Miss Kushnir, Miss Mendelson, and Mrs. Peters. Proof that their efforts have not been in vain is evidenced by the fact that a considerable number of South's graduates continue in the business field. Some of the courses taught are Typing I and Il, Personal Typing, Short- hand, and Bookkeeping. These, along with other necessary qualifications, prepare students, whether in the business course or not, for their future work. MISS JOAN KUSHNIR MISS LOUISE MENDELSON MRS. BESS PETERS
