MATHEMATICS Seafed: V. Mayer, M. Steudle, M. Misercola, A. Creahan. Xtmzdmgs G. Druar, A. Connors, M. Larrabee, M. McGee, N. Hayes. MATHEMATICS: No guessing in these courses! No debating, no imagination per- mitted! Two plus two forever equals four and you might as well agree. These are the courses that teach our minds to think clearly and reason logicallyg training that can be profitably applied to many problems in our everyday lives. HOME ECONOMICS: Whether it's ham- burgers or Hollandaise sauce, you have to know how! Ken girls in the Home Economics course learn all about foods and serving meals and preparing menus. They also study household management and child care, courses essential for our future homemakers. Mr. Pinkow and Miss Townsend MUSIC: Some like it popular, some like it classicg but all Ken students learn to know and enjoy good music. Happy are the days when the band or orchestra or A Cappella Choir en- tertain us in the assemblyg and happy are our music majors in their World of scales and rhythm and harmony. HOME ECONOMICS Naomi Stoesser, Helen Nesper

HOME ECONOMICS Elizabeth Meath, Catherine Hyman 12 Davison, L. Haynes, A. Gianturco, G. SCIENCE: As Freshmen, we all study a basic course in General Science. Some of us elect to delve deeper into the mysteries of gravity and osmosis, to spend our time amid the test tubes and formulae. We are all aware of the vital part that science plays in our lives today. HOME ECONOMICS: Patterns and colors and fabrics and styles absorb the attention of the girls in sewing classes. They learn what to wear and how to make itg lessons that will be of great value whatever their future careers may be.

For four years We struggle with double negatives and split inflnitives, we progress from simple sentences to essaysf and, ultimately, we acquire the ability to speak with reasonable correctness and to appreciate our great literature. COMMERCIAL: Great is the demand for the services of our commercial students. Assembly songs to be mimeographed, letters to be vvritten, Honor Rolls to be typed, envelopes to be addressed, alphabetizers wanted in the orlice . . . they have indeed an active role in the life of the school and benefit greatly from these opportunities for practical experience.
