FACULTY students unable to attend college 1S MRS. MEAD'S suggestion for improving West High. She would especially like to meet Emily Greene Balch of Wellesley, win- ner oi the Nobel Peace Prize. MISS SAUBER believes that science will probably make great strides in the field of preventive medicine in the next ten years. She says that the famous person she would most-like to meet is Br: Libbie I-Iyman:'One of the many sports in which MB. BEYEB enjoys participating during his spare time is golf. Amos Alonzo Stagg, an eighty-four year old football coach, is admired by him as a sports leader. Polo and horseback riding rate high with MISS CURBIEB in the world of sports, and lobster is her favorite food. She also considers Coach Amos Stagg a very outstanding figure in sports. MISS PIERCE, who ad- mires Mr. Beyer of West High as a leader in sports, says that her favorite sport is swimming. A good meal, in her opinion, would contain no vegetables but two desserts. Basketball is one of the sports which MISS WOBLEY en- joys most. She states that an ideal meal would consist of fried chicken, rolls, strawberry short-cake, mashed pota- toes, gravy, olives, carrot-sticks, celery, coffee, and fruit salad.

In a boys' swimming class Harry Leatherby. Winfried Hesse, Bob Senneff, and Roger Klefiel learn how to use rubber flip- pers in order to gain speed. CHARLES A.

Microscopic organisms are being examined and the data re- corded by Lillian Abruzzo, Charles Almond. Robert Allen, and Cecelia Lucido, members of a biology class. Measuring materials and studying their laboratory manuals in preparation for an experiment in chemistry are Mary De Iong. George Zammuto. Marilyn Stokstad. and Ernest Marinelli. FRED G.

Science FACULTY MR. VVEBER thinks that the two fields of science which will ad- vance most rapidly Within the next ten years are those of radioactiv- ity and medicine. He would like 4 to see West High increase its facil- T ities for visual education. Elec- T tronics and aircraft development will progress quite noticeably during the next decade, in MR. BARNES' opinion. Mr. E. Canham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, is one person Whom he would like most to meet eventually. A suggestion made by MISS CAMP- BELL for the improvement of West High is the installation of an outside telephone extension on the third floor. She believes that Work in helio-science may advance greatly in the near future. Because of its demonstrated importance during the last War, radar is the field of science named by MB, CRULL as the one which will be developed most within the next ten years. MR. HORRALL feels that West High should be able to darken its rooms for a more effec- tive visual education program. ln his opinion, the field of chemotherapy will be developed most by science during the coming decade. A survey course which would include both chemistry and physics would be a practical addition to West High's curricula, says MR. MAX. I-le expects the fields of nuclear chemistry and medical research to ad- vance very rapidly in scientific improvement. lZ 'i'l l6

FACULTY A recent invention MISS DENTLER Wishes to own in the future is a I - A new refrigeration unit with a fro zen food compartment. She would like to go on a sightseeing tour to interesting places all over the world. Electric typewriters will Q come to be of special importance in the field of commerce, in MR. SHUMATE'S opinion. A bin-fed stoker is a new invention which he hopes to own as soon as possible. A story by Wendell Iohnson, People in Quandaryf' is one of the books from which MISS BOYD has derived much enjoyment in reading during the past year. MISS DEPPING believes that although the ediphone and dictaphone will be used more extensively in the fu- ture, they will not replace the use of shorthand in corn- mercial work. One of the books which MRS. I-IIESTAND has enjoyed recently is Thieves in the Night, by Arthur Koestler, a story of the current problems in Palestine. She is looking forward to owning a l947 model automobile. MISS NELSON believes that the electronic controlled voice- scription machines will be ot importance in future com- mercial work. A humorous book she has read and liked is The Egg and I, by Betty MacDonald. I8 El V' In a stenography class Eileen Caronna and Dolores Wisner show how to operate comptometers as Polly Prasse and Mary Van Barriger type letters from dictaphones. One of the many projects undertaken by art students. stencil- ing cloth materials, is being done by Ioyce Roen, Carol Mittel- stadt. Georgia Doty. and Ieanne Schill. EUGENIA C. BOYD.
