MeMtewatioi The never-ending: search for the value of X, the unknown quantity, goes on and on in our mathematics department. Some try to solve the knotty problem by alge- bra, some by geometry, some by trigonometry. Solid geometry, higher arithmetic, and business arithmetic are also help- ful. Mr. Jesse E. Day, Mr. W. S. Rosing, and Mr. Paul Still teach algebra, business arithmetic, and plane geometry. The solid geometry, second year al- gebra, and trigonometry courses are led by Miss Marie 0. Rearick and Mr. Russell W. Bickford. W h e t h e r studying toms, amoeba, acid, or natomy, it is interesting ork with the six science i structore. Mr. Milton rennemanandMr. Hugh .

For those who are plan- ning to study engineer- ing and other scientific courses in their college career, a knowledge of German is an asset, and therefore an elementary course of this language is offered. Latin provides an ex- cellent foundation for other languages and also is used by anyone prepar- ing for a professional career. Any student with the wanderlust will find that a year or two of French and Spanish will be use- ful to him in his travels as well as in general life. Soiled left to right: Mis Flossie Hate.'.

Included in the high school’s lineup of social sciences are European history, American his- tory, economics, soci- ology and civics. Both American history and civics are compulsory in order that students may know the history of the foundation and growth of our nation and have a knowledge of the workings and laws of the American government. European history pro- vides a background for students planning to at- tend college as well as those with special inter- est in world affairs. Economics ties in with the math course, and one can take sociology to be- come acquainted with so- cial conditions as they exist.

Mi» Doennecke. Mr . Hnrri Bright colors, vivid designs, and gay patterns are the first things that meet the eye on entering rooms 49 and 50, which compose the art depart- ment. Puppets, clay models, and metal work line the walls, producing a confusing impression at first to the uninitiated. Mrs. Thea Bacci and Miss Dorothy Doennecke first teach the eager young artists the fundamentals, then advance to the principles of design, painting, commercial art, sculptoring, and metal craft. Miss Doennecke was in charge of all the art work and layouts of the annual.
