Camera Snaps Teachers, Pupils Off and on during the year, the candid camera addict caught a few snaps of classes in session (mostly when the teachers weren ' t looking.) Here are the results. They are representative and typical of scenes that take place every day. First we see Mr. Pauley and one of his chemistry classes mixing evil smell- ing concoctions in glass test tubes. Chemistry is a favorite among the science subjects, which also include physics and biology, as the absorbed looks on the faces of the students testify. Mr. Pau y, one of the rulers of the upper hall, also teaches physics, algebra, and trigonometry. (He fires the gun at the bas- ketball games.) Here, in their machine shop at the junior high school, with the co-opera- tion of the school and local industrialists, boys learn trades first hand. The course, new this year, is steadily growing in facilities and popularity. A dozen boys came out for it the first semester. Under the training of their instructor, Mr. Jenkins, they decide what trade they like and then become adept at it. Under the strict and critical observation of their fellow classmates, nine girls demonstrate their skill at executing a forward roll. Standing on their heads and turning flip-flops or flop-flips is all in the day ' s work — or fun — for this gym class. Besides tumbling, basketball, baseball, track, and Miss Harrison, the in- structor, new this year, are some of the excellent sports that make girls ' gym interesting. While their teacher. Miss Helen Miller, looks on smiling, a class in general math — or is it algebra (?) — listens with strict attention to their classmate ' s ex- planation of the problem on the board — if x plus y equals s, what does (7 minus b equal (?) — (take algebra if you want to know the answer.) Geometry and trig- onometry are the more advanced courses offered to students who are mathematic- ally minded. Mr. Pauley supervising chemists ' research. Girls toss, twist, and turn while tumbling. Back at Junior High — in the machine shop. Class watches Byron, Miss Miller watches class 12
