Projection Club Adviser. Science and Mathematics CIENCE and Mathematics, although they are here combined, are in truth separate departments. At least two years of Mathematics are required of students before graduation. In the first year Mathematics is entirely Algebra, in the second year Geometry, and in the third a study of advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry is given. Included in the Sciences are Physics, Biology, General Science and Chemistry. All are most interesting. The high school has some of its best faculty members represented in this department. Mr. Wilfred White, a new teacher this year, has very efficiently filled the position of Physics instructor. The Biology is taught by Mr. Edwin Lotz. Mr. Ralph Manley in the Chemistry cause and Mr. Rudolph Jordan in the General Science department have both proved capable and well-liked instructors. The Sciences and Mathematics are two of the most POPUQX' and necessary studies given in the Burlington High School, A Page Nineteen l T J

Foreign Languages g :Figs WSJ HE Foreign Languages taught in the Burlington High School are among the most important and helpful subjects in later 10' if L life. A two-year course in Spanish, two years of French ,I and four of Latin are given in the department. Spanish, al- though only recently introduced into the course, has become one of the most interesting and successful studies in the school. Miss Velma Ewalt has proved a most capable instructor of this language. French has been taught for some years, and with Miss Fan Lilly as faculty representative, it has developed into a very interest- ing course and one which is appreciated by the students taking it. 2-s..'vf4-ol Latin is probably the most stressed of the three. The four years include a study of elementary Latin, Cesar, Cicero and finally Virgil. The first two years are very popular with students, but the full course is usually chosen only by those expecting to major in languages in college. Every student expecting to follow his high school wiork with a college course is compelled to take at least two years of one of these languages, since practically all colleges in the middle west demand two years of a language before entrance. On the whole, it is a very helpful and necessary course. The languages are most interesting and are especially popular with the more studious pupils. Page Twenty-one l
