Our Mathematics department has played in proper rhythm. The teachers of this depart- ment have had an important part in strengthening our minds in preparation for our future. As it takes a blending of notes to create a beautiful symphonic composition, so did it take a blending of ideas of several mathematicians to bring to us the knowledge we desire and need in order that we be successful in the occupations we have Dlanned to undertake. New courses had to be perfected and old ones streamlined to make our Mathematics depart- ment a strongly organized unit, Heading the department was Mr. Dwight M. Griffith, shown in the picture above. Also in the picture are Paul Vandereike, Helen Plaum, Eileen Bowling, Albert Dennis, Mary Elizabeth Waggoner, Laura Heyd, and Lenora Broadhead. Others not shown are Percy Chamberlain, Edwin Hemmerling, Hattie Hoenshell, Wallace Johnson, Margaret Meyer, Edith McLean, anl Carter Pfwair. Although Ludden Hall fTin Q A M M-W7 EW Pan Alleyl is the scene of oc- casional mishaps, the Home Economics department has much to be proud of. Most girls use the fine training given here at some time during their lives. ln the picture at the right are Miss Lido Siemon, head of the department, Carol Clark, Gladys Penn, Margaret Moore, Jxeannette Kollenberg, 'Martha Shesler, and Tena Marioril , .f 26
