Mathematics Department Mr. Barnes' 12' Trigonometry Class Practicahility-that's the watchword of the math- ematics department of our school. That's the guiding principle, as instructors inject into sometimes thick- skulled students the knowledge necessary for college study or for life work in this subject. Angle mirror, hypsometer, sextant, transit, and other strange-sounding instruments are handled dexterously by Springfield High School student mathematicians, for they learn to use them in a number of field projects promoted hy the department. To you instructors and students interested in delv- ing into the secrets of the universe with mathematics as the key, good luck! Long may your axioms and your theorems govern the land! Long may you algehraists continue to watch your x's, your yis, and your z's! HERBERT O. BARNES fHeadJ James Millikin University, A.B. I like a real thinker-a fellow wha's willing to take a problem and wrcstle with il till he's through, states Mr. Barnes, rleparlment head. J. W.

GUY H. THOMPSON University of Illinois, B.S., M.S. Mr. Thompson feels that it's not too much to ask an ideal student to be rourtcons, congenial, good-natured, om- Iritious, industrious, and obedient. How fascinating the study of history has always been to man! Always he has sought to know the mystifying where's, when's, and why's of his own existence. Always he has endeavored to solve problems of the future by knowing the past. In history, and in all social science classes of Springfield High School great stress is laid on the solution of problems-political, eco- nomic, and social problems -which tend to re- appear in one form or another. If the aims of this department were fully realized and if schools throughout the world adopted and achieved these same objectives, who knows what heights of international under- standing might be reached? The social science department tries, to quote its head, Miss Louise Welch, Hto give its pupils understanding of the elements of continuity and change in human progress, appreciation of our racial heritage, recognition of national obligations, conception of economic problems, and a character of civic honor and responsibilityf' If one were to visit a history class rent events were being discussed, he that citizens from our school: will in be well informed.

Follow the advice given during the Courtesy Campaign if you want to show Miss Jenkinson how glad you are that she is the new Spanish teacher. uParlez-vous francais?,'- hasta maiiana -Hten1- pus fugitv. If you have any knowledge of foreign languages these phrases will not be all 6'Greek to you. If you haven't-well-you'll just have to curb your curiosity or else inveigle someone into enligh- tening you. There's no doubt, though, but that being familiar with some foreign language gives one a feeling of prestige-and makes him feel that he's really a man of the world. Here students are offered three years of both French and Spanish in addition to the standard four years of Latin. As an added attraction, there's uLe Cercle Fran- cais at Whose meetings only French is spoken. Nineteen Sl K fm Q- Q ff it I 1, Miss Luke's 91 Latin Clflss
