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.

Department The Department of Social Sciences is one of the most important in the cur- riculum of William Chrisman High School. Toward a goal of building good citizens this department offers European, Modern and Medieval, and American History, Civics, Economics, and Sociology.
