What Dn We Accomplish by Studying j Science J When selecting subjects to take in j high school, we are prone to choose those which we think will be the easiest to pass. But, after we finish school, what will be the value of these subjects, if we cannot put them into practical use? So, among our first subjects to choose, science should Ivad the iist. The State requires o>ily o>ie year of it, but we may take four year;, of it and each year have a different branch of study. In our freshman year, we may Uikt general Science. It is very easy, but useful and interesting. Some Of it: to the U. S. tribunal. Charles \V. Willet, Jr., Charlotte, appeared with Mr. Davis for the stores. An opinion is expected in the next several weeks. North Carolina has collected an average of $7(J,000 a year for two years and is collecting the third year's taxes under this law. This money will have to be returned to the store owners, plus t> per cent interest, if the court holds the law unconstitutional. This is not expected. topics are the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, electricity, and weather reports. Next in line is Biology. The know- j ledge of plants and animals are the two most important things taken up, but under these are so many second ary topics that we may weli profit by studying Biology. By the time we arrive in our junior year, Chemistry starts us in the face. It is one of the most interesting sub jects because we spend much of. our time in the Laboratory experimenting ! with various materials. The study of ' mineral deposits are gone into exten sively. Another topic is the compo sition of the air and its percentage in each substance. Then, at the beginning of the senior year, many dismiss Physics from their mind because it i3 a general belief that only boys can pass it and that they have a terribre struggle because it is so hard; but this Is an absurd idea which is gradually being let go from the minds of everyone. First in the study of Physics, we learn the metric system which is used in prac tically every country besides the United States, and is gradually find ing its importance here. Then we study simple machines, levers and pulleys ? things which we see in ev eryday life. Next cames the subject of work, power and friction. When we see a car that has chains on its wheels to prevent it from skidding, we never associate it with a school problems, althought this is only one of the many problems we study in Physics. And, so, it is obviously worthwhile tor one to take any branch of science in high school. Seniors Elect Class Officers At a class meeting held Wednesday by the seniors, the following officers were elected: Jane Pearce, president; Harry Pickelsimer, vice-president; Fiances King, secretary; and Thelma Johnson, treasurer. When choosing these officers, the members of the senior class gave much thought to the ability of these members as leaders, so they were chsen accordingly. With these members as our leaders, the outlook for the class of 1932 is very promising. Activities of the Home Economics Department The girls of the first year Home Economics class spent the first month of school sewing. Each girl made two aprons and two hand towels in order that they might begin their cooking the second month. Since the weather was cooler, cooking was enjoyed more the second month. The study of fruits, cereals, and eggs was taken up, and the methods of cooking them. Under the direction of Mrs. Kimsey, these girls are doing good work. F resh nut n G i rls A very interesting: program was enjoyed by the eighth grade girls last Friday. Ruth Fulton had chargc <"i t ho program which follows: B''x: (leading and prayer by Elizabeth j Bragg; schools songs by the class, and {-popular songs by Betty Loftis. \rrevard high rases abovi. j AVERAGE is state tests , It is with great pride that we re let ive the "information concerning the results of the tests given to the I seniors of last year by the Staie. The iBi eviu d High School ranks, 0.8 per ? cent above the State average, the score being 85.8 for Brevard and 79 .for the State. This proves that the i teachers have not taught in vain to 'those who have given credit to our {school and who are now probably giv ing credit to schools and colleges 'elsewhere. CEDAR Mi.
