2I2o! That's the boiling point of water! Mrs. Nowlan and Sandra Geagley stare at the thermometer in amazement. Barbara Coates iust sits there stunned. Upward and onward is Roosevelfs motto as proven . by Sandra Edwards and Joyce Farrah. ,fc fl The gym class-the hour which most pupils look forward to-is greatly welcome after the stitT posture maintained in the classroom throughout the school day. Most young people today are interested in sports, and the values of good sportsmanship gained through experience in teamwork far outlive the gym class. It must be pointed out that competitive games and calisthenics are not the only phases of physical edu- cation. Hygiene, necessary in broadening physical knowledge, makes its appearance in an array of classes. Some teach cleanliness, some, nutrition, and some, care of others. Besides the games and the competitions there are many little things that add color to the gym class. Everyone remembers dressing at breakneck speed to be on time for the next class, or the boys standing around to laugh at the girls trying their best to play basketball. Even more vivid are the contortions arising from the average exercise, and the horrible clutching pain of sore stomach muscles afterward. Though gym may be remembered by some as only a place for fun, others realize that this is the only time of the school day that pupils turn once again into boys and girls, playing as children unmindful of their outside cares. .IANE S.

From the expression on the faces of these geometry students, they must have caught a bug in the maze of geometric lines. Marie Lancaster and Bill Shoemaker are the students. What is there about a mathematics classroom or a laboratory that makes it so difterent from any other room in the school? To be sure a chem lab hasn't desks or chairs, but a geometry classroom is the same as any other room. It has the same number of black- ik, 1-'iff , , DPM' . . x!N AV , ' :JU li'-fl l ' L 5'A A B AD?

Perhaps in the lab it's the shiny crispness or the unusual odors seeping out ot the chemical storeroom, but in a math class there are no such physical devices to make it different. What is that typical atmosphere that surrounds such a place? Nowhere else is there the same air of precision and exactness, demanding the best of every student, nowhere else is there a fear of not living up to expectations. Remember the sinking feeling in your stomach when the teacher asked you to prove two parallelograms equal, or when you mistakenly cut through the pulmonary vein thinking that it was a piece of muscle, or even when you bubbled your breath into a test tube of limewater to test for CO, to find to your horror that it turned pink insead of the customary white? Not only are these exact subiects, they are living ones. They rudely invade our privacy at the most un- expected moments. On the way home from school we see the grass, trees, plants--chlorophyll.
