Have you ever wondered why an object burns, how a fish can breathe under water, or how lar it is to a star? If you have, you can find the answer in chem- istry, physics, biology, or general science. ln biology, the science of living things, the dis- section af frogs, the study of birds, and the human body are included. Chemistry and physics offer practical knowledge useful every day of our lives, whether we plan to further our education or not. By experimenting we are taught to learn by doing. An elementary course, consisting of the basic fundamentals of many phases of science, is taught to the iunior high students.

Interpreters of Literature, Grammar No education is complete without the interpretation of literature ond grammar by our English teachers. With their help we learn to appreciate novels, plays, short stories, and poetry. lt is with their guidance and skilled direction we learn the correct use of the English language. We master the art of expressing ourselves through our daily assignments and yearly term papers. Our English classes are also designed to help us gain better vocal expression. When we give reports, present short dramas or contribute to the class discussion, we receive practice in developing our speaking ability. Always ready to lend a helping hand, English instructors often serve as counselors as well as educators. Our interpreters are truly an important part of our school. The type of stage used in Shakespeare's time is one phases of English taught in Helen Peterson's classes. mn.. l gl.: ty xl N ii 4. of the f. ig i 'J l.. tk if .5 x

The social studies teachers are an important part of our educational program. Using situations from the past, they show us how to cope with problems of the present age. Through the medium of tests, written and oral reports, discussions, and lectures, we get a basic understanding of social studies. Mr. Reuben Lundquist, the eleventh grade social teacher heads the senior high social department. Due to overcrowded conditions, a new program was initiated in Willmar High three years ago, wherein the seventh and eighth graders spend a period of three hours each day learning social and English from the same teacher.
