The radio and wire- less telephone and telegraph, the structure of every bridge and building are re- sults of mathematical calculations. The entire industrial, financial and engi- neering Worlds are built upon the precision of mathematical system. Even the less exact sciences, such as biology, have begun to apply the tech- nique of mathematics to their experiments. Pharmacy, dentistry, nursing, and medicine turn constantly to it for aid. Space is too short to elaborate. Mathe- matics is an integral part of the progressive civilization in which We live. Outstanding in the mathematics department at Calumet is the opportunity offered to superior students for extra Work in the mathematics clubs. The ele- mentary club, meeting with Mr. Wallace, and the advanced mathematics club, meeting with Miss Wernicke, offer an unusual chance for extra Work in this field. Trigonometry is probably the most practical and interesting course of sec- ondary school mathematics. It epitomizes the functional idea, which is such an integral part of all thinking. Solid geometry enables the student to think in terms of the third dimension. No other subject in high school mathematics cultivates this notion of space. Page 17

It is important further inasmuch as it touches every student in the school for the greater part of his attendance and because it presents in itself so diversified a program for the development of the individual. In its technical aspects it deals with grammar, spelling, word study, good usage, good form, and the acquisition of an adequate vocabulary, in its creative aspects, with effective use of the language-with clear, forceful, ar- tistic expression of one's ideas and experiences. Courses in grammar, com- position, public speaking, journalism, and drama, clubs such as the Writei's' Club, the Thespiansg and publications such as the Crier and Pipings oifer students opportunities for development. The courses in literature help us to understand life better, to live more fully, more joyfully, more wisely. We attempt to make at least an intelligent beginning in becoming acquainted with the best in our literature-a task for a lifetime. We attempt to develop the critical faculties, so that we may be able to choose the good and to throw away the worthless. The classes in laboratory English and special English provide opportunities for students to receive individual guidance in learning to write correctly or in any other phase of English in which special training seems advisable. Students derive great benefit also from the special preparation which they are given in the English 8 classes. One of these classes prepares students for the Normal entrance examinations, another trains for the competitive Page 18
