Yfhether 'tis worth it in the t 'sf ,g. 'L it bbqtm., end to stiffer the pricks and stabs of outraged fingers. or to take arms against the frogs and bugs that seemed already to be greeting us. was indeed a problem. To workvto sleep no morefThis was our Destiny . . . There seemed to be no possibility of our graduating with only three majors. So. for the less scientifically inclined students. math was the overwhelming favorite. Six hundred ten prospective Pythagoreans taking .4dl'llIICl'd .-llgelzra were taught numerous fascinating applications of slopes and derivatives by Nlr. Alexander. Mr. tllicksman. and Mr. liuderman. Six months of calculus gave us our own ideas of its invaluable uses. lust thinkl If one is ever bored on a dance floor. he may spend his time figuring out the rate of speed of two energetic dancing partners or calculate the slope of his partner's head. -A Net Cain: Useless calculations. Ne! l,oss: Useful time. There were a few versatile souls H6 boys and l girly who were interested in both math and science. They found themselves in Dr. Greitzeris lllutli ll-4 class, learning the probabilities of winning at dice or whether life on Mars can exist. Twenty years from now. one of them may own the whole of Las Vegas through his winnings: another may be constructing a Science annex on Mars. -f Nc! Cain: Probability of failure. .Vet Loss: Probability of graduating. lfveryone these days is trying to get ahead of his neighbor. ls it not understandable therefore that a class called College Mall: was invented? Dr. Dodes taught this course by drawing pictures of stick figures sliding down negative slopes. while his protegees concentrated on integrating frustrated pyramids. f .Tel Cain: An art course. ,Yet Loss: Sleep. of course. Not everyone is interested in math so some foolish students. ignoring the warnings of last year's Advanced Biology classes. bravely ventured into the unknown realms of corpuscles and bacteria. They were promptly handed a six-inch needle and told to remove some blood from their hngers. For those too squeamish to perform the minor operation themselves. Mr. Weinberg acted as Chief Puncturerf' Popular cries of Look lla. no blood or Kline is redder than yours filled the room. -f Ne! Cain: Human pineushions. .Yel l.o.v.v: Human blood t2 pintst.
