Mr. Elliott Mr. Ehmke Mr. Nebgen Science Department This age in which we are living is an age of science, of machines and mechan- ical devices-an age of electricity. To succeed in this world of today we must at least understand the simple devices we use everyday. We may learn many things of value in Physics under the able guidance of Mr. Elliott. Chemistry is another worth while subject. Here you may learn about the three classifications of matter-namely, solids, liquids, and gases. Mr.'Nebgen is at the head of our Biologv Department which is one of the most interesting courses in high school. Botany and Zoologv are both stud1ed in this course The Blology room 1S filled with spec1mens of animal hfe fish aquariums and many such exhibits This 1S indeed a course full of interest but one not advised to those who are the least bit repulsed by frogs and the l1l e Of all these courses one un1t is required Thev are all interestlng as well as beneficial and no better teachers can be found anywhere Mr Ehmke 1nspect1ng the experlments of his pro teges seeing that they do not blow up Chrisman with the products of their test tubes and Bunsen burners 193 ,, I V .
