Members of Mr. Maitland's Hfth hour auto shop, Thomas Lawrence, Carlo Sherman, Robert Wilcox, Dale Hildebrand, and Thomas Stevens are shown inspecting the airplane which occupies one portion of the auto shop in the industrial department. Because of the increasing use of airplanes in the post war world, a knowledge of their mechanics will serve as an intelligent basis for careers. In the photo at the lower left are several members of Miss Vincents trig- onometry class which meets every day during the second hour. Wfendell Holmes, Bruce Gunnerson, Richard Alden, Robert Ringle, 2 Li and Beverly Campbell are shown solving a problem with the aid of a slide rule which enables the rapid calculation of mathematical problems. A knowledge of a slide rule is im- portant as it is used in many factories and industrial plants as well as by chemists, math- ematicians, and scientists. In the lower pic- ture at the right, Shirley Forsaith, Robert johnson, Mary Lee Stewart, Gene Oliver, and Gene Swenson are solving a proof in Miss Sheetz's fourth hour solid geometry class, This class has served as a foundation for en- trance into courses in higher mathematics.

A few members of Miss Sapo- riti's class Cseen doing this task upper rightj are Arjane Palombi, Pat Underhill, Betty Frink, Shirley Sloggett, Helen Almond, and Marilyn johnson. A doll collection, one of the projects undertaken by the Spanish classes this year provided much interest as dolls from Brazil, Chile, Cuba, and Mexico were brought and studied. Seen admiring one rather unusual doll in Miss Fishers room are Ccenterb Richard Haesemeyer, Joanne Cox, joan Bruneni, Peter Anderson, and Lola An- derson. By performing a play entitled Le Bowgeoir Gent!! Homme, Miss Scandrolils French VII class gained a practical knowl- edge of that language. A few members of the motley cast Qlower rightj seen practicing one scene from the play are Genevieve Pe- tronis, Georgeanne Hinchliff, John Hamp- shire, Shirley Anderson, and Janet Blackwell. Diligently reading about and examining the plant and animal life which exists in the balanced aquarium flower leftj are Jose- phine Marchione, Alfred Makulec, Gail Al- tenberg, and Roberta Oliver, all members of Miss Campbells first hour zoology class. In Miss Campbells room are several aquariums, hshbowls, and numerous other objects por- traying plant and animal life. 25

OFFER PRACTICAL KNO LEDGE In the upper right hand corner Betty Aalfs, Rodney Heinemeyer, Leora Buzzell, Richard Patterson, and Olive Phillips are shown op- erating the Monroe Calculators and book- keeping machines in Mrs. Shumates book- keeping ll class. The center picture shows james Nolan, Constance Cook, Audrey Franklin, and Francis Devine demonstrating the correct method of writing, folding, and sending of a business letter. These students are in Miss Deppings Typing I class. Mem- bers of the commercial classes operate many machines and learn many business techniques which will benefit them in their business ca- reers after their graduation from high school. For practical experience, the students worked for the Annual by mimeographing question- naires and by doing other general typing work. At the lower right are pictured Charles Kopf, Doris Gunter, joe Mulaie, Carolyn Nelson, Wayne Lohman, and Lois Chandler casting their sample ballots in the November national election. These students are members of Mr. Roses government class. As a result of an intensive study of the candi- dates running for election, the students are better prepared to vote intelligently when they become of voting age. The picture at the lower left shows Betty Cook, Edmund Fowler, Ann Weingartner, and Betsy Deuel inspecting the antiques displayed at Tinker Cottage. Members of Miss Whiting's socio- logy class made the trip as a part of their community study.
