This year our physical education classes ran an Omni- bus show with “something for everyone.” For the girls, bowling and shuffleboard were added to the schedule of soccer and hockey in the fall; volleyball and basket- ball in the winter; and baseball, badminton, and archery in lhe spring, with ping-pong and square dancing throughout the year. Besides football, basketball, and baseball for the boys, there was tumbling, track, and soccer. In gym classes we drill on rules, correct our posture, and leam first-aid. We stumble through the crowded showers, pay our ten cents to redeem our lost clothes, complain every day, and enjoy every minute of it. It isn’t every department that has a curriculum to fit every season! 20

MATHEMATICS Peculiar formulae produced by more peculiar processes prove logical results with practical principles which do not help us at all when planning our budget. Whether the subject is algebra, geometry, or trig, “to reason or to memorize” becomes our question when cramming for the tests. Encouraged by the thought that the answer must be cither right or wrong, we try to untangle graphs, numerical statistics, equations, or geometric designs. Finally, by disciplining our minds, we strengthen our powers of inductive and deductive reasoning. B. Vaughan Ash, B. S., M. A.—Student Court . . . William Bradford. TH. B., B.

Jewelry Shop is a busy time for Raymond Seaton, Carol Vaughan, Robert McGregor, and Neil Sunt. Mr. Slate, Mann, Mather, Johnson, and Lokcrson study the model made by Gordon Rutherford in last year's Architectural Drawing Class. It was fifth place winner in the National Ford Industrial Arts Competition. Chester Humphrey and Jack Frcdinc apply the press to a dictionary stand which is being repaired in Wood Shop. PRACTICAL ARTS From rocks, sheets of silver, and imagination come ID bracelets, tic clasps, and rings. From blocks of wood, sheets of copper, and rolls of wire come pipe racks, candle snufTcrs, and mailboxes. With chips flying, the buzz of saws filling the air, and ambitions soaring, we pound at our trays, lamps, or tables, always wondering how the project will look when finished. In art metal, jewelry arts, mechanical drawing, and woodworking classes, we learn to be skillful artisans with soldering irons, etching tools, saws, and patience and hard work. With little talent and lots of energy and enthusiasm, out- standing results arc obtained. Arnold Croddy, B. S., M. Ed. . . . Joseph Sagneri, B. S.—-Stage Crew. Albert W. Bender, B.
