GYMNASIUM-POPULAR CENTER OF ACTIVITY Besides conducting Physical Training classes in the new gymnasium, Miss Keffer and Coach Benningholf devoted part of each day to academic teaching. To hold the attention of the freshmen. Miss Keier interested these restless, eager students in performing experiments in general science and in preparing and giving oral reports on their hobbies and on individual and community improvement in civics. Mr. Ben- ninghoif enjoyed teaching higher mathe- matics to the upperclassmen. Theorems, ratios, and constructing triangles absorbed the excess knowledge of the juniors in plane geometry. Bisecting angles and draw- ing circles gave math sharks practice in drawing. Seniors might elect solid geome- try first semester, and trigonometry the second. Mr. Benninghoff's explanations of tangents, co-functions, and reciprocals made puzzled expressions on the faces of the trig students disappear quickly. Page Twenty-one .
