Mathematicians and Scientists When one hears the words, test-tubes, experiments, microscopes, or some other similar word, he knows that the science department is being discussed. Again, whenever one hears the words, slide rules, equations, theorems, or logarithms, he realizes that he is hearing terms used in mathematics. In general science the students learn the basic trend in the science field, while in the other science subjects, they branch out in plant and animal life. In chemistry the young scientists find out about the chemical changes in matter, and in phy¬ sics they study the physical changes. The future mathematicians spend many hours solv¬ ing equations, learning theorems, or working problems for general math, plane geometry, algebra, or trigonometry, all of which help to develop their reasoning power. The math and science subjects call for much hard work and concentration, but they offer much encour¬ agement because there is such an open field for further development. Classes in mathematics are taught by Beatrice Hutchins, who received her A. B. degree from West¬ ern Michigan College of Education and has done graduate study at the University of Michigan. Miss Hutchins is the freshman class adviser, Y-Teen Fawns adviser, and is a member of the assembly committee. Being a loyal sports fan, Miss Hutchins declares her winning pastime is being a spectator at football and basketball games. Mary S. Johnson, teacher of general mathe¬ matics and algebra, received her B. S. d egree from Michigan State College. She also studied at Central Michigan College and the University of Michigan. She is the Y-Teen Fawns adviser. As of now Miss Johnson says that her sixth hour algebra class is her winning pastime. Edward A. Babcock Mary Vilas Beatrice J. Hutchins Mary S. Johnson Having attended Ferris Institute, received his A. B. fi ' om Central Michigan College, and studied at the University of Michigan, Edward Babcock should be well qualified to teach chemistry, physios, algebra, and journalism. Mr. “B” is the adviser for the Cadillacan, Hi-Y, and Torch Club. He claims that he finds his winning pastime at the C. Y. R. A. Teaching general science and biology way up on the top floor, is Miss Mary Vilas. She received her B. S. degree from Central Michigan College of Edu¬ cation and is working on her master’s degree at the University of Michigan. Miss Vilas is the senior class and Pep Club adviser. Hiking is a winning pastime for Miss Vilas any time of the year. — 16 —

Clear Minds and Trim Bodies When the ceiling in the assembly room vibrates up and down, you know that the phy¬ sical education classes are taking their calisthenics or, maybe, playing a hard game of bas¬ ketball. All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are required to take gym where they learn how to keep their minds clear and their bodies trim. By being a player on a team in these classes one learns how to cooperate with others. Teaching civics and physical education, advising the Tri-Hi-Y, and sponsoring intra-mural activities keep Mary Fica busy. She received her B. S. de¬ gree from Central Michigan College of Education. Miss Fica is very fond of sports and states that summer sports, swimming, and tennis take the winning spot ,on her pastime list. The man who helps the boys build fine phy¬ siques is Richard C. Young. He teaches physical education, American history, health and sociology; he coaches the reserve football and basketball teams and the tennis team. Michigan State College is where Mr. Young received his B. S. degree. He is the Ski Club adviser and senior class adviser. Any sports activity is a winner on Mr. Young’s list. Mary Fica Richard C.
