BARNES B. S. Wittenbe1'g Mathematics Many people, says Miss Ruth Hunter, head of the mathematics department, Hare defeated by mathematics before they come into contact with it. There is a genuine satisfaction, she adds, in being able to master actual problems. As a general rule, more boys take mathe- matics than girls, although they are no better at it than girls, as is sometimes supposed. The total number of students enrolled in mathe- matic courses at present is 1006. The mathe- matical subjects taught here are algebra, plane and solid geometry, commercial arithmetic, college preparatory trigonometry, vocational arithmetic, geometry, and trigonometry. The last three subjects have been taught five years. Teachers of mathematics whose pictures are not classed with this department are Mr. M. L. Lacey, Mr. L. Sanders, Mr. E. White, and Miss Ella Chase. WILLIAM WILSON A. B. Wittenberg M. A. Wittenberg Mathematics RUTH HUNTER A. B. Wittenberg Mathematics G. L. RONEMUS B. S. Ohio University Mathematics Track Coach JOHN F.

vw-lv ' WILLY Okays the School Board ' ' ' ' ' As the gyroscope keeps the transatlantic Steamship in even keel and prevents the ship from turning over, so is the Board of Education a means of keeping the teachers and executives in balance through their helpful advice and sage suggestions. The Board is led by President Urban Hidy, former big league baseball player, former teacher, and owner of a motor car business. Mr. Mark A. Snyder, local music instructor, is vice president. Mrs. Nettie Fay, housewifeg Mr. E. E. Forrer, manufacturing executive, and Mr. Holmes T. Collins, dis- tributor of soft drinks, are other members of the board. The terms of Mr. Hidy, Mrs. Fay, and Mr. Forrer are finished in 1944, while those of Mr. Collins and Mr. Snyder are not complete until 1946. Scl1oolBoard: Mrs. Nettie Fay, Mr. Mark A.

Wittenberg Chemistry, Physics ff it One-half of the students in Springfield High School are studying science: Biology, chem- istry, senior science, or physics. In most cases they will tell you that they enjoy it. The students have discovered for themselves that in a world at peace or in a world at war, some knowledge of the many phases of science is quite essential to the understanding, appre- ciation, and application of various skills which they may be called upon to learn and exploit. The trend in life has been toward more com- plexity and a knowledge of science tends to make that path a little better understood and perhaps a little easier. Gi V-fly, l ARTHUR B. SHAFFER 3 A. B.
