MATHEMATICS To see the service of mathematics to the community, it is only neces- sary to consider life without numbers. Without mathematics, we should have no cars, planes, trains, bridges, electricity, or large buildings, for math is essential to all engineering. We would not even have any house numbers. Stores would be impossible for we should have no money. ln short, our civilization would be gone, and We should live as savages. CEditor's note: Myll CHEMISTRY T' Chemistry has taken on a New Look since the development of atomic fission. Things beyond human imagination are possible. There is thus a necessity that all high school students study chemistry. BIOLOGY This science encourages the young person to appreciate the things of nature, to know better the plants and animals, to protect himself from disease, and to protect the forests and wild life. With a knowledge of biology, a citizen lives a more healthful, useful lite.

I 44 GENERAL SCIENCE General science is re- quired of all freshmen because a general knowl- edge of the forces and materials nature provides is necessary it one is to be appreciative ot our scientifically-minded world. ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY Economic geography is especially pertinent in this community since our larg- est industrial plant uses i raw material from the farms of the surrounding area. Thus, the subject matter taught is closely related to the activities of many workers in the corn- rnunity. This subject de- velops an understanding of the farmer and his prob- lems. PRINTING Obtaining practical experience, students do jobs in restricted quantities for their own churches, clubs, and non-profit organizations. This incentive results in more attention to detail and produces some very fine printing results, a real service to the community. CSee Weekly Maroon pagesj THE, CLASSROOM AND THE COMMUNITY
