J Robert Krause August Schauer Miss Marion Trowbridge Miss Loretta Cusack Conrad Emerson CREATIVITY TAKES ON DIFFERENT FCRMS The creativity of Washburn's students was demonstrated in the classroom. The art department enabled students to work with different media in pro- ductions of still life, the human figure, landscapes, and graphic arts. While learning the rules of harmony in color and design, the student also gained aesthetic values for fine things around him. Physical education stressed the neces- sity of good mental and physical con- dition while providing enthusiastic group activities for all. The boys vigorously participated in football, softball, track, and calisthenics. The girls found their class activities to be similar and iust as stimulating. Drama students expressed themselves in the interpretation of plays. They studied the techniques of dialogue and stage craft that are conducive to a fine dramatic production. They also helped produce the class play and Millwheels . Concentration pays off in creative expression. Eugene Sandvig Miss Margaret Thurston Stretching one's capabilities. ff i. - V 'T

MATH IS A NECESSITY IN OUR MODERN AGE The mathematics courses at Washburn were conducted on three different, but connected levels. Sophomores gained thor- ough knowledge of plane and solid geometry. Courses offered to juniors included advanced algebra and trigonometry. Many seniors studied college math, a course which takes up the intricacies of analytical geometry and trigonometry. This course was used by many college-minded students, who wished to further advance their knowledge of math. ln a new program to be initiated soon, the math department will be expanded for future develop- ment. Much credit can be given to our math faculty for Wash- burn's consistently fine per- formance in the National Math lloyd Alwin James Cosgrove Burton George Miss Palma Mark Miss Helen Minty Stanley Person Contest.
