Although there was an abundance of tackle boxes floating about campus this year, it wasn’t due to the swell fishing holes! The boxes lK longed to those industrious fellows who — having enjoyed erector sets immensely — decided to major in the fast-expanding field of engineering. 1 he engineering department provided the technological knowledge while the stu¬ dents provided the }x ncil-pushing patience and mas¬ tered the fundamentals of designing, planning, and supervision. 3 Frank Scott Head of Department B. Ed., A.M. Now gentlemen, this here is a . a . . . a . . . Engineering students plan a sabotage of the school ' s sewer system. 28

Mathematics Increases Our Reasoning Powers 1 he JC mathematics department offered back¬ ground material for every field in the occupational realm beyond college. A diversified program ranging from primary counting to integral calculus helped de¬ velop logic through abstraction. The four-hour tests taken during a two-hour class period aided the stu¬ dents in developing numerical spec . Reading graphs, using slide rules, and manipulating algebraic formulas soon separated the mathematicians from the norm. The use of the slide rule facilitates the computation of perplexing quadratic equations. Kenneth L. Pyatt Head of Department B. Ed., M.A. Mike Zupsich A.B., A.M.
