Excellent opportunities await those that wish to avail themselves of a practical and useful knowledge of math that will be invaluable in .later years. To be able to operate many of our implements of war, a working idea of mathematics is essential. In almost every walk of life, mathematics is used to some degree. Fortunate indeed is the person that by the use of formulae and num- bers is able to find the answer to his problems, however large or small.

FELCH, school doctor, Q' panish is our foreign language The statement made by Emperor Charles V, You are worth as many men as you know languages, was never truer than it is today. VVith the future of the United States and that of South America linked so closely together, a knowledge of the language of our neighbors is a prime requisite toward complete unity among the Pan-American Union. Not so very long ago we thought that it wasnlt necessary to know the language of our neighbors, but today we realize that to understand them fully we must be able to read and know how the people of Spanish-America live and how their lives have affected the vast store of knowledge they are willing to give us, if only we would learn their language. Nlany great writers, Sir Vilalter Scott, Lord Byron, Irving, and Longfellow, to mention a few, received inspiration directly or indirectly from Spain. Two of the greatest character creations in the history of literature are Spanish, Don Quix- F o R E 1 G N LANGUAGE TEACHERS, who have their hands full teach- ing students in their Latin and S pa ni s h classes, also s p o n s o r outside foreign lan- guage clubs.

PRINCIPAL L. C. ELLIOTT rings the dismissal bell whwi, the electiic power refuses to cooperate. caching is more than textbooks Not all teacher activities are confined to the classroom, social events and gatherings are numerous among the faculty members of North High. The classroom teachers, with Vera Bovington as president, Mr. James Carter as vicewpresident, N111 Harold XVilliams as secretary, and hair. -loseph lVIcKinney as treasurer, held many active meetings. Cabinet and general faculty meetings, called whenever the need arose, pers mitted a democratic discussion and solution of common problems. Sponsoring the collection ot xiewelrv, games, and cards for soldiers, equip- ping Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for the needy-wthese were just a few of the outside activities in which our teachers helped put our school out in front.
