CARDINAL ANNUAL ' Luz- C , 6f ■ FITURI HOl ' SFAX IYI s HOUSEHOLD ARTS If some old and austere Pilgrim Came to earth awhile and staved — Would he growl ' cause m o d e r n victuals Are not like His mother made? ' ' We rather guess not! Especially after having tasted the delicious things to eat which the girls of the household arts department prepare. It takes plenty of courage for a person to admit that he still has something to learn, so our plucky ' leven who organized a cooking class deserve honor- able mention. They have been distributing some of the results of their experiments, and Men Mi i none of the recipients has yet been heard to complain. Keats is known to have said. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. That ' s why so many girls enroll in the sewing classes and learn to turn out creations with which to dazzle the public gaze. Dresses, lingerie, lamp-shades, and rugs make one ' s eyes pop out. Little do we realize how much effect this department will have on the homes of the future. Geometry and Latin have an indirect effect on h o m e life, but cooking and sew - mv have a most direct one, as most of us can testify. P ; ] '

CARDINAL ANNUAL PLANE GEOMETRY MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT EGYPT had mathematicians. Greece had mathematicians. Today Eng- land and America have men who are prominent in all branches of mathe- matics. When Egypt was at the height of its civilization, the Egyptians used mathematics in the construction of the pyramids. Since those days the impor- tance of mathematics has gradually in- creased, until today it is considered the most im- portant of all sciences. Realizing the value of this science in daily life, South Division offers its students eight semesters of mathemat- ics. This course in- cludes algebra, geome- try, and trigonometry. Rv Degri i s Algebra provides many thrills to the students in quest of intricate problems. The solution of graphs is very interesting and advantageous because of the incr eas- ing use of graphs in commercial work. Geometry develops the mind, because in proving theorems the student learns to think clearly and logically. Then too, geometrical designs are used in ar- ticles of clothing, from loud neckwear to flashy hose. If the student has completed f o u r se- mesters of aleebra and three of geometry, he may in his last semester take trigonometry, the hardest study in the course.
