Too many pupils look upon mathematics as a grind or as mere mental gymnastics, but when one sees the practical application ot the problems he works to the fob for which he is preparing, mathematics becomes a fascinating subject. It is from this angle that the teachers at Springfield High try to present their subject. College authorities tell us that students ot science tail more frequently because of weakness in mathematics than tor any other reason. During World War ll boys from the armed forces were quick to report to their friends at home the advantageS of thorough preparation in geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. Such worcl sent pupils scurrying into both advanced courses and remedial work. During the first semester of this year all senior students were given the Ohio State Screening Test in Mathematics and those who were tound not to be up to standard were required to take remedial work in the particular type of math suited to his course.

In the same de- partment boys may choose a course in the field of Industrial Arts. The difference in th T ' ' ' ese wo courses is not in sublect matter but in the emphasis placed u on the P subject matter. The boys who have chosen one of the five above mentioned courses specialize in that co f their life work take the five fields. These studies h prepare t e student to enter a trade upon graduation, or, as in some cases, the credit urse or three years. Those who haven't decided on course in Industrial Arts in order to gain experience in all s may be applied to college entrance requirements. To staff this department, the school has chosen well-trained, experienced teachers. They, too, are always learning. During vacation periods they gain practical training in the different shops in Springfield. Not only are the students prepared to enter industry, but they are also taught h suc fundamentals as English, history, math, and science. They leave high school 'th wi a well-rounded education so that they face life well prepared. ZfZU'f'?wW?'l'5,rr -.-,ITL-f....frrF!lI5i?'.l'tL1?T!:WLs..rt.r...fmmrm.,., ......-,....u-rni..,.., We.
