A science course is required of all students before graduation while commercial subjects are taken by many pupils to aid in future years. The teachers of these subjects appear on this page. Mr. H. Guy Wood is shown as he directs his assist- ants in the work of keeping the accounts and finances of student activities of the school in good order; Mrs. Lucille M. Linn is pictured overseeing the intricacies of typewriter operation in one of her classes; and Mrs. Helen D. Orsborn is seen amid the wealth of biological material in her laboratory. Mr. James J. Jennlson is photographed between the sessions of his physics classes, and Mr. Arthur H. Bothe chemistry teacher, is shown working in his lab. Shown in her laboratory in the academic building is Miss Hanna Dyste, biology instructor. Our mythical students seem to find special interest in these subjects and linger some time over the physics laboratory which is pictured below. Some of the most interesting experiences in all SPHS life are had in this and other school labs. IfSlffB
