Faculty MISS BROWN was the home economics teacher this year; she also taught biology. In freshman home economics, most of the first semes- ter was spent dealing with food preparation, meal serving, and food values. Personal grooming, so- cial rules, and self improvement were studied during a few weeks of the first and second se- mesters. The second semester is devoted to art problems and clothing. Each girl analyzes herself according to the colors and types of clothing she should wear. In the last few weeks simple dresses, blouses, or other articles are made during class time. Ga e Brown In the second year of home economics, the entire first semester is spent studying food, how to preserve and purchase it, how to prepare meals, and how to serve meals. A number of dinners were .served to guests. How to care for the baby and small child and how to care for the sick in the home are the bases for study in the last half of the year. Girls learn how to make a bed properly, how to change linens with the patient in bed, etc. In advanced home economics for the junior and senior students, the girls learn more advanced food-preparation techniques and interior decorat- ing during the first semester. The last half of the year is given over to more difficult clothing problems than have previously been encountered and family relationships. Miss Brown graduated from Ball State Teachers College a year ago. MR. BUESKING instructed algebra, general mathematics, geometry, chemistry, and general science. In algebra a study of formulas is made and in uses of letters in solving problems when the numbers are not yet known. Ways are found for working problems which cannot be solved by arithmetic. A review of the 7th and 8th grade arithmetic is the beginning of general mathematics. Further arithmetic as used in business and other occupa- tions is also taught. Considerable time is given to problems in finance, insurance, etc. Geometry is a study of triangles, circles, and other figures and draw- ings with the laws of shape, size and other relations. It is useful in all other mathematics work. Chemistry delves into the composition of compounds and their reactions to each other. Experiments were conducted frequently. Mr. Buesking was graduated from Ball State Teachers College. He taught in the Burris High School in Muncie. Last year he did graduate work at Purdue University.

Churches Our city of Waterloo is blessed with the five churches pictured above. They are of great assistance in helping us to strike a balance in the equilibrium of our education. They provide the spiritual teaching necessary for our character-building program. With- out this guidance we could not find favor with God nor peace with our fellow men. The First Evangelical United Brethren (lower left) is the oldest church organization, being organized in 1852. The Methodist church (center right) was organized about 1884, and the first church was built in 1885. The Saint Paul Evangelical United Brethren (upper left) was organized before the Civil War. The first church was constructed in 1869. The Evangelical Church of Water- loo remained under that title until their denomination merged with the United Brethren in Christ in 1946. This church then changed to the present title. The Nazarene Church (upper right) was organized in 1945 and the Church of Christ in the year 1947. The spirit of cooperation between these churches and our school shall always be an inspiration to us and to the coming generation. First Evangelical United Brethren ........................ Frank L.
