olve th ystery of Science Pofenf mixfures, complicafed apparafus, sfuffed specimens and queer smells malce up fhe average concepfion of fhe science deparf- menf. Every sfudenf af one fime or anofher finds his seaf in a laborafory where he gives way fo fhe Einsfein in him upon some experi- menfal phase of chemisfry, physics, biology, or general science. Mr. Marfin, Mr. Moeller, Miss Meyer, and Mr. Bafho open fhe field of general science fo all freshmen. ln fhese ele- menfary classes, all fhe specialized fields are sfudied and sfudenfs are given a firm basis for lafer choices. Mr. Grignon's chemisfry classes are among fhe mosf popular offered in fhe school, parfly because of fhe sfories Mr. Grignon fells and parfly because of fhe sfories chemisfry fells. Joe l-lashek and Carl l-loyer hopefully wafch fhe progression of an experi- menf while Roberf Schloemer coolcs a mixfure lcnown only fo himself. The sfudenfs of physics, under Mr. Colby, musf also spend much of fheir fime in fhe laborafory. The principles of Archimedes, Pas- cal, and Galileo are fesfed and fheir applica- fions are sfudied. Weird machines are em- ployed in fhe physics laborafory, such as fhe vacuum pump demonsfrafed by Virginia Brau- bach and Roberf Ashman. VVifh a background of a physicisf's implemenfs, Virginia Loebe and Miriam Prenfice wrife up a successfully com- plefed experimenf. Wafching fhe anfics of invisible creafures under a microscope, dissecfing specimens, and growing flowers for sfudy comprise fhe labor- afory worlq of biology. l-larrief Ross, Tom Son- nenberg and Calvin Claus prepare fo peek info a bug's privafe life wifhouf a fhoughf for ifs feelings.

old acts and igures The ward maThemaTics sTrikes Tear inTo The hearTs oT many sTudenTs. They Tear The Terms TangenTs and loci and logariThms. l-lowever, The main reason Tor Their anxieTy is ignorance oT The subiecT which, when shown in iTs True lighT, invariably becomes TascinaTing. The combined eTTorTs oT Miss Shipman, who is quick on The Trig, and Mr. Colby, who knows Euclid like a broTher, are direcTed aT desTroy- ing These Tears. The sTudenTs are sTarTed on The maThe- maTics Trail by Miss Shipman who insTrucTs sophomores in The elemenTs oT algebra. BeTTy ZeckmeisTer is shown solving a graph problem as Miss Shipman waTches, Doris Yahr and Lewis Rose are Two ouT oT many who Tearlessly reTurned Tor more. They are shown using Two oT The models which help solve problems in solid geomeTry. Miss Shipman, BeTTy ZeckrneisTer A sTudy oT geomeTry under Mr. Colby compleTes The average college enTrance re- guiremenTs oTTered by our school. When Mr. Colby Takes Time To poinT ouT a Tew oT The pracTical applicaTions oT The seemingly ab- sTracT subiecT, sTudenTs drop Their apprehen- sions and seT ouT wiTh a will. WiTh discussions and head work, They seek an undersTanding oT The Theorems and corollaries compiled by wise men. Florence Nielsen and Richard Berend are shown collaboraTing on a problem, while Wes- ley Kopp is holding a slide-rule iusT as iT he undersTood iT perTecTly. The TundamenTal aim OT any maThemaTics course is To sharpen The sTudenTs' wiTs and encourage logical Thinking. Because oT Their TarsighTedness, our graduaTes are noT only beTTer maThemaTicians buT beTTer individuals and ciTizens as well.

arnin th inguistic Arts No curriculum is complefe wifhouf some for- eign language fo aid in fhe clevelopmenf of fhe culfural background of fhe sfudenfs. Here af Wesf Bend High, we have fwo courses in foreign language, Lafin and German. Lafin has proved fo be a favorife wifh fhe sfudenfs during fhe lasf few years. Wifh Miss Huff af fhe helm, fhe Lafini concenfrafe on all life. A l.afin Club was formed four years ago by fhe sfudenfs who phases of Roman were inferesfecl in dramafizing Roman life. Every year fhe big annual Roman banguef is held -- slaves, funics, Roman food, and Roman soup make up fhe program. These sfudenfs will know more Lafin fhan Ego amo fe when fhey finish fhe course. A sfudenf has passed by fun and an excel- lenf opporfunify fo increase his knowledge if he has nof had German under Fraeulein Pod- Lafin l Class ruch. ln German l, fhe sfudenfs are faughf fhe fundamenfals of German grammar as well as a greaf deal of vocabulary. Tesfs are nof in- freguenf. A German I class is shown wrifing one of fhese fesfs. Doris Cooley and Edriss Friedemann are 'rwo freshmen who have en- deavored fo masfer fhe German language. The second year German classes are faughf some grammar, buf vocabulary and reading are fhe real cenfer of inferesf. Among fhe sfories fhaf were franslafed are lmmensee and Germelshausen, fwo very inferesfing and Touching fales. The fhird and fourfh years are spenf in reading German liferafure of all kinds. Very deep discussions resulf from prob- lems encounfered in books fhaf are read in class. Abouf fhree books are fhoroughly sfudied in a year.
