Concentration! The theorem provides some diRkull conjuring. Visual aids to the study of math arc to lie found in Mr. Metcalf's class when projects are due. MATH—Basic To Budgets And Brides C = mg2! Suddenly the equation was splashed on the front pages of newspapers, thought-provoking edi- torials appeared. The death of Einstein rccniphasi ed the importance of mathematics and stimulated advanced math students and wculd-bc ■■digit-masters” to want to carrry on his advanced thinking in relation to unlimited space and non-dimensional time. With the publicity given to the need for mathematicians and scientists, most of us redoubled our efforts, for practical application of our knowledge is frequently hard to find in our imme- diate lives. When G.E.D. tests revealed that some seniors needed mathematics courses in high school. Industrial and Commercial Math were added to the curriculum. To those of us who can not only spell trigonometry and plane geometry but also work the problems required, no need was fell. We not only reviewed Einstein’s theory but sought additional ways to add to our growing knowl- edge. With pride we realized that we’ve come a long way from 2 4-2=4! B. VAUGHN ASH. B.S..

These potential chemists receive first-hand experience in micro- scopic chemistry. Biology students are fascinated lay the squirming protozoa revealed to them through the microscope. Science Brings Knowledge, Too Whai is brewed in a witch’s caldron? This question, we have discovered, is not covered in biology or chem- istry. Kiology answers the more puzzling questions con- cerning virus, plant, and animal life. That peculiar odor which sometimes floats around the halls conies from the chemistry rooms where young, ambitious chemists are preparing a sulfur compound. The smell boldly an- nounces activity in the chemistry rooms, but equally interesting and instructive- cx| crimcntsare completed daily without incscapablenpublkit paoieA|)ui)iK' After the witch mixes her brew, there is a clash of thunder followed by a Hash of lightning. To acquire knowledge about these electrical forces, energetic souls take physics. For students with a quest for scientific facts our school offers an advanced course in biology. If a black cat crosses their path, they may choose to dissect him. These four sciences present a thorough understanding cf the composition of the world, but we never learn anything about the brew of the witches. BEVERLY BLADES. B.A.—Tri-Hi-Y. Biology . . . EDMUND T.

 Jecpcrs. my translation is perfect! The thrill of a perfect paper is experienced oc a sionally hy all of ns. Rarhara Nash and Jim Kennv arc checking to sec how many l itin quotations they know. FOREIGN LANGUAGES—For Travel And Fun The deep sound of the whistle greets us as we board the S.S. United States. We're cruising to Paris, Rome, and Mexico City. Our first stop, Paris, greets us with comment allez-vous. Many Frenchmen inquired where we gained knowledge of the French language. We answered, At Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland. After a week's visit in Paris, we’re off to Rome. While visiting many historic sights, we feel the charm of this city. Gazing at Caesar's statue prompts a battle of Latin quotations remembered from school days. In merry Mexico the colorful fiestas display the warmth and vitality of these people. We arc able to witness a bullfight. Upon our return home, we realize that our knowledge of French, Latin, and Spanish was not learned in vain. Actually, our second language may not be ready for instant use on our first visit to the native country, but it will provide a basis for our understanding. Although only two years of language are regularly offered, a course in third year is given upon request. LEONORA AIKEN. B.A.. M.A.—MCEA Alternate. French I. II. Ill . . ANGELA DARBY. A.B..
