Nichols pause for an after-school chat. Science Leads Needless to say, in this age of science, with more positions in the field available, the student interest in science has increased. With opportunities for young scientists such ? as the Westinghouse Talent Search to en- courage them, it is little wonder that students are interested in this newly popular subject. For freshmen there is general science, biology for sophomores, chemistry and physics for juniors and seniors — a scientific curricula for every year of high school! There is also a complete course in agriculture. Also a field of science but a different aspect of it, that of preparing young women for careers as housewives and mothers, con- tinues to climb in popularity.

The field of mathematics is said to be the base of all science. The point is logical, because looking back, it can be remembered that arithmetic begins in the very early grades and then continues up through high school with algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. The value of mathematics is a topic that can ' t be argued. First year math is of use in every day life. Algebra and geometry are required subjects to enter many colleges. Trigonometry and higher forms of algebra and geometry are useful for students who plan to enter a technical field. Mathematics is the base for such sciences as chemistry and physics. The nine teachers in North High ' s mathe- matics department are well-trained and experienced. FIGURE HEADS — Left: Mr. Herbert Drmkwater and Mr. Fred McDonald pause during a day of eternal figuring.

M I(,| The World Revolves Before Us Truly a world of knowledge is stored in North High ' s extensive library. In the approx- imately twelve thousand books in the library, students may find the answers to their ques- tions, material for research, and many books for just plain pleasure. The librarians, Mr. William Bartels and Miss Ruth Rowan, are enthusiastic about aiding students in finding books to interest them. The task of the social science teachers is now greater than before. It is their responsi- bility to aid students to understand the work- iogi of their government and its policies, as well as acquaintance with the governments of •other peoples. } m f gig ■ ■ I rH 1 m M to3 BOOKS, BOOKS — Left: This ipS wk crew is responsible for keep- ing our library books in good Pi ' ' - jBL condition.
