Many important details in school manage- ment handled by the secretaries provide an essen- tial part of each day’s program. Keeping records up to date and helping to plan the school’s busy schedule are among their many duties. “Soup’s on” is the familiar cry the cafeteria workers give at noon to the students and faculty. While we have only “one” lunch period to worry about, the cooks have two. Preparing food for 2300 students is a gigantic job. Keeping the grounds and building neat, clean, and in good repair and supervising maintenance of school equipment are the jobs of the custodians. These men are the most sought-for people in the school at the time of an emergency, and they promptly and willingly do their best to keep the school running smoothly. These staffs give indis- pensable service.

Mr. Armin Mesker points out the best method to use in solving an alge- braic equation. Mathematics Oldest Science Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true — Ber- trand Russell. Aside from being amusing, this statement sums up what the mathematically-inclined student begins to realize as he emerges from the secure cocoon of elementary education and begins to see for the first time the bright vistas of human knowl- edge. Almost any subject can be expressed in a logical manner, and mathematics is nothing other than an extremely detailed subdivision of logic. The subjects taught at Arthur Hill, however, con- cern mostly those two non-entities, “point” and “number,” which are never very far apart. The former is the meat of geometry, the study of the relation of “point” or “number.” Neither do we know if God were asked whether all these un- knowns truly describe His world He would answer yes or no. Perhaps this is what Lord Russell meant. 13
