.Science PHYSICS 11-12 Barry Himelberger and Richard Balthaser are balancing two different weights on a ruler to find the principle of moments of the measure. The other pupils are watching and waiting for the correct readings to put in their experiment copy. What is the reading, Barry? We want to hand in our experiments on schedule. SCIENCE 9 Sherwood Himelberger is explaining the operation of a Model A Ford motor to the group. The class studied and learned about the operation of motors as well as the maintenance of them. This is just one of the many projects in which the class has engaged this year. But why a Ford motor, Sherwood? SCIENCE 7 The pupils of the science 7 class are studying plant life and admiring the beautiful collection they have made this term. Included in this study are how the plant gets food, how the plant grows, and how to get seeds from the plant. The plants in the room require daily care. This activity is an interesting one since it enables the student who brought in the plant to observe its growth and development. Insects! Oh, what a subject! But that goes with biology, the study of plant life. The Tenth grade pupils have made this insect collection which includes the bee family, the butterfly fam- ily, the fly family, as well as other insects which inhabit the surrounding sites. This is a course that could inspire a pupil to learn a great deal about the insects that pest him. BIOLOGY 10 Twenty-three

Plyi icat ttclue at ion GYM 11-12 As Mr. Matthew illustrates on the floor with chalk, you see a few girls attentive to learn the correct technique of playing basketball. The hope of the girls is to organize an all-girl basketball team in the near future. GYM 11-12 Leo Houck is getting ready to receive the football while Henry Bohn is about to blow the referee’s whistle. Football is one of the boys’ favorite sports. When the weather permits, the boys who are sports-minded lose no minute of the lunch period. Out they go to play this game. GYM 7-8 “Line up and count off by four!” This class is in position to do the trunk-bending exercise. The boys do a number of exercises similar to this one. To close the gymnastics of the period, the lads usually do one lap around the track. Stay in good physical condition, boys! We’ll need you in sports shortly. HEALTH 9-10 Someone short of breath? Well, not for a long time. Frederick Wilhelm is showing a group how to give artificial respiration. The boys have studied also other forms of First Aid; such as, symptoms of injuries, transportation of an in- jured person, and bandaging. Knowledge of First Aid is, according to statistics, a help in the pre- vention of accidents. Twenty-two

HISTORY 10 Having read about the Greek and Roman contributions to civilization, the pupils have gathered around a map for a short quiz. With this audio-visual aid the pupils should be able to remember what scientific peoples these nations were. History 10 includes also the study of Egyptian civilization as well as other civilizations of the ancient world. HISTORY 7 As a group of Seventh grade pupils watch, Kenneth Mohn tells about Europe’s Cradle of Civilization. Leslie Weidman points to Greece on the map as Miss Ricgel listens attentively. Besides learning historical facts, Seventh grade here can learn also the fundamentals of out- lining. Miss Riegel correlates much English grammar and literature with social studies. Socicid Stacit Led HISTORY 11 As Gary Kohl points to the map of World News and explains the location of the new happen- ings of the week, several other pupils look on with interest. This study was a great help to the juniors when time for the debate rolled around. We participated in a triangle with Bethel and Ontelaunee schools. CIVICS 9 Since propaganda plays such a large part ur present-day political and economic affairs, •man Burkey is shown pointing to a list of es of propaganda as Susan Goldstein, Pauline sser, Kay Pfautz, and Sherwood Himelberger c on. Studies of this nature may prove in- iiable to our future adult citizens. Twenty-four
