etb Solve wi eqbfzoblems MATHEMATICS . . CIE CE Can you tell me the answer? How often we've been caught blank-minded when one of the teachers here hurled a geometric symbol or chemical combination at us. It's been pretty difficult to solve some of our problems but we've all enjoyed working with and learning from these mathe- maticians a n d scientists. MISS IONE ELLIOTT and M I S S PHEBE GRIFFITH have aided us many times in solving a hard sum. . . DOUG- LAS C. MITCHELL, shown at the left in the lower picture, explains well, the anatomy of a frog. MRS. ELIZABETH COOPER, seated next to him, conducts our sewing a n d cooking classes, and HAR- OLD HARTMAN, science in- structor, has made our many hours of chemistry really enjoyable. The agri- culture department is headed by 0. T. HUFFMAN, and newcomer PAUL FRILEY, standing behind the group, is a grand addition to the physics classes. T ty

Hep, two, three, four! Is that the sound of marching feet? From the looks of the BOYS ON PARADE, it must be Wednesday mornin With eyes front and sabers gleaming, a line of cadet officers tand at atten tion before the rows of gun bearers, many of whom look forward to the day when they, too, may lead a com- pany or shout commands. Diligent study of military statistics and strict obeyance to the specified requirements will make this dream a reality. Proud are those who lead the grand march in the annual L'lVlili- tary Ball, one of the year's highlights filled with colorful glamour .... Another phase of the zestful spirit of J. H. S. is found throughout the Physical Ed' depart- ment, in which fun and exercise are prev- alent. That basketball is a girls game, as well as a game for boys, is demonstrated by these GYM GIRLS REALLY GOING AFTER THAT BALL. ' Twenty ti

My. what queer little gadgets you have there! All the better to figure with. my dear, say these MATHEMATICIANS INTENT UPON THE EXPLANATION OF ANOTHER NEW GEOMETRY THEOREM. As we view these strange looking, many-sided objects, it is indeed difficult to conceive how such small things as brains can contain all the lines, angles, and complicated problems that students of math' and science seem to consider all in a dayls work. . . . There is a great deal of satisfaction in being able to explain the laws of existence and what makes the world go 'round, is pointed out in the sciences of biology, agriculture, physics, and chemistry. Oh, what fun to take molecules apart and then try to put them together again. Apparently demonstrat- ff ing that it can be done, are these YOUNG ALCHEMISTS SEEKING OUT NEW CLUES TO THE MYSTERIES FOUND IN THE CHEMISTRY LAB'.
