The college preparatory student could be seen evaluating X in first year alge- bra, constructing a tangent in plane ge- ometry, graphing an equation in second year algebra or studying solid geometry and trigonometry. Commercial students were usually kept active in business math or bookkeeping classes while vocational students were enrolled in first year algebra, plane ge- ometry, general math or advanced algebra. General math or math review were pur- sued by students of the general course.

hange ccurs in Language Curriculum Soy un burrof, Voici le crayon. Not only will these words be repeated by juniors and seniors but by freshmen and sophomores. Along with the many other alterations this year, there was also a change in the modern language curriculum. Before this year freshmen and sopho- mores were not permitted to take either of the modern languages, Spanish or French, although Latin was required for all freshman and sophomore college pre- paratory students. Now it is possible to study four years of any language. In Miss Mary Stay- man's senior French classes booklets were created describing various French prov- inces, while lllrs. Ruth 0rn's freshman Latin classes made projects such as note- books and dolls in Roman garb. A INVESTIGATION UNDE1fW'Al'. .lunior Spanish students try to discover what's inside the piiiatas.

These and many other questions, pertaining to the differ- ent phases of science, were the chief topics discussed throughout this year,s science classes. Using the age-old adage, Know a lit- tle about everything, the freshman and senior science groups attempted to be- come acquainted with everyday science problems. Biology students centralized their work more, and concentrated mainly on the fundamental principles of nature and how they are related to living things. In addition to setting up a new physics laboratory, a number of the students entered projects in the Kent University Science Day, held at the beginning of the second semester. Rounding out the science curriculum was the chemistry department. The work included observations, experiments, and an extensive coverage of the chemistry text book. f 15.
