In the extraction of metals from their ores, and in the preparation of drugs and medi- cines much data has been gathered by the chemistry students, which may help them to prepare themselves y for a vocation in the future. r ' - Through the able guidance of the faculty adviser, James A, Murphy Mr. Murphy, the students find chemistry one of the Cbf1's1fSf1'JU HiSf0 3f most interesting subjects in the school curriculum. 2NaCl + H2564 -9 2HCl -l- Na2SO4, for an example, is the type of reaction that chemistry students quibble over in every experiment. The students always secure Mr. Murphy's dependable advice before proceeding with a provoking experiment. The chemistry of tomorrow will be brought under hand by the students who have learned their chemistry in a laboratory such as ours. The class of 39v is proud of our laboratory, and our own Mr. Murphy. LABORATORY CLASS - 18 -

How to recognize suitability and durability in clothing is another. The opportunity of covering these two questions is given students who enroll for the sewing class at Woonsocket High School. The steps toward the making of wearing apparel are as follows: Pattern study is the first. An analysis of individual coloring of a person is made and then when color, style, and material have been decided upon, sewing work is begun. The use and adjustment of the pattern is taught. Stitching appropriate to the goods being made is stressed along with the general appearance of the garment. Good finish is given to both sides of the garment. Once done the student is shown how to keep up the appearance of the gar- ment by learning the methods of pressing and cleaning. Besides the construction of a garment, students are taught how to keep their old clothes up to date, to make additional clothes blend with their wardrobes, and to alter purchased commercial clothes.

Band Notes In trim navy blue and white uniforms, with every foot in step, with every instrument in tune, our band marches on to capture more honors for the school. Supported by the entire student body, the band held a successful tag day on October 12. The proceeds were used to buy more uniforms. The Boys in Bluev went to Connecticut where they presented a joint concert with Buckley High School and Williams Memorial Institute, winning the acclaim of numerous music critics. After the concert the band members attended a dance given in their honor, where they made many new acquaintances. On December 9, in the Junior High Auditorium a similar concert was held with the Buckley Band as our guests. A dance followed in the gymnasium where the band members tripped the light fantastic to notes supplied by professional musicians. Here friendships, platonic and other- wise were renewed. On May 13, the Rhode Island Festival was held in Woonsocket. True Woonsocketers can be justly proud of the showing our musicians made. Under the able tutelage of Mr. Grady the boys and girls immaculately attired demonstrated once more their ability to meet and conquer the keenest competition. The lion's share of awards were given to Mr. Grady's pupils. The band was presented at all our football games. Their stirring airs embodied in the student body that spirit to urge a fighting team to the top. The trim drum majors did their bit in adding color to the band as it paraded and drilled between the halves. We are sure that our band and the bands to come will always bring to Woonsocket High the highest of honors! ! ! -19- l
