From the Hrst moment that Suburban opened its doors, the students were lcd by the light of knowle edge. It is the general belief of the Science Depart- ment that knowledge is an active process in which the student has the opportunity to apply the prinf ciples, learned in the classroom, to his outside life. Our well-supervised Science Department is guided by Mr. Carl C. Slaybaugh. General science, biology, chemistry, and physics are the courses that are oilered in this department, ln addition to classroom participation the students are encouraged by the instructors to prepare extra projects, These projects yary from the collecting of insects to the designing of rockets. A wide variety of equipment is oflercd to the Y. S. ll. students who are priyilcged to hayc the opportunity to take these courses. The carrying of the torch of discovery and under- standing is the ultimate in science teaching.

H. begins as a leader in language. Already our school has the Hnest language department in our section of the state. We consider ourselves very lucky to have at our disposal a new addition to the language department-The Magnetic Recording Laboratory. This laboratory will help to guide and direct the pupil so that he will be taught and stimulated to think for himself. The head of this department is Mrs. Gladys Beattie, one of our efhcient French teachers. Our very complete language department offers French, Latin, Spanish, and German. ln addition to these four languages, Russian is offered through one of our school clubs. This language department offers great opportun- ity in helping our students to perfect their elective language. The study of these foreign languages will, in later years as well as now, help us to under- stand the world and the people around us. 15

The Business 'Education Department began its first years looking like a large, well-equipped and modern office. With an atmosphere such as this, the student is very eager to learn the processes that are taught by the business teachers. The primary purpose of the department is to train the individual to participate with effectiveness in a community of business where he is likely to find employment. Along with this aspect, the stu- dent is taught to train for good citizenship. The Business Education student may have his choice between the clerical side of business which offers bookkeeping, and the secretarial side, where the student is taught stenography. Typing and clerical practice, which includes the working of different types of ofhce machines, are also offered. The Business Education student can be assured that he will make his employer sit up and take notice of his knowledge and efficiency of ofhce procedure. ' Future scribes
