Freshman math is explained to the newcomers under the able supervision of six mathematics instructors. Relations of the parts of geometric Hgures and the com- plications of a logical proof are taught to the sophomore students. Junior and seniors having college aspirations continue their mathematics course in the advanced algebra and solid geometry classes. Here the ambitious student delves into the theories of num- bers and equations, while in the solid geometry classes the study of geometry in the realm of solid figures continues. Those students of Bloom who are fired by the desire to roam foreign lands and converse with picturesque folk-the German baron, the Spanish senor, or the French peasant, find in the Modern Language department a step toward the realization of their ambition. For those who delight in tales of perilous wanderings or in brilliant oratory, Virgil and Cicero provide interesting studies. Twenty-one

Freshmen are started on physiology and have worries about long, diiiicult names of the bones of the body and the courses of the bloodg sophomores in biology try their hands 'at remembering the distinctions between beetles and true bugs and between mosses and ferns. To the juniors and seniors fall the pleasant tasks of studying physics and chemistry. Equations and formulae, formulae and equations stare the student in the face and do their best to make him wish he were studying some- thing not so complicated. Twenty

While the freshmen are managing a store, iling letters, and calculating by machine, the sophomores are doing the bookkeeping and accounting in this busy office. The juniors and seniors, with the aid of post-graduates, find many occasions to put their knowledge of secretarial Work to practical use. In addition to routi-ne instructions, these advanced students become skilled and experienced by assisting with the miscel- laneous correspondence of the different departments. Twen ty-two
