hx 'C l, SCIENCES In the modern world of today a knowledge of the intricasies of science is essential. At Prep the scientific course is designed to give the student the maximum of knowledge in the various divisions of the scientific department. Every possible aid to edu- cation is utilized in the instructing of the vital chem- ical and material processes that make up much of our scientific industries. Moving pictures, explaining the processes that go into the production of our every-day implements, are shown frequently to the students, The Biology classes as well, share in the usage of modern aids to education. The Prep gradu- ates fit easily into the pattern of the speed-con- scious, ultra-scientific world. Their training in these exacting subjects will serve them in good stead in future years. it yt Ak' l l ly V'llfl f linrtfglnl lnfztrurgts his Sophomore English s'u- flr-nt: In tl :IH nn rt nf' uv In rj v r mf mndr-llnq His interesting ClGSS'21 lwrvf- latll I P I II l Ill th .. ., tr- 1 4--, 1-f ff various branches of English Ji ,gi M1 'CJ Srsrzn M.

MATHEMATICS Nothing is more exacting in the field of human knowledge than the science of Mathematics. Here the student must work with measurable and observ- able data which follow fixed principles. He acquires an appreciation of logical procedure through the theorems and propositions which comprise the world of mathematical laws. The mathematician must state in accurate definite numerical terms the require- ments for a given project. To vary or err, however slight, is to endanger the final result, be it only the solution to a given problem or the more important construction of a technical, mechanical nature. Mathematics at Prep carries the student from beginnings in Algebra through Geometry, Trigonom- etry, and Solid Geometry to the senior course in Advanced Mathematics. To have completed the entire course is to have a thorough and more than adequate preparation for college Mathematics. Moreover, the logical thought procedure which Mathematics can give to the student is something which will prove of inestimable value in daily lite. A man who reasons clearly and correctly is a valued member of society. A mathematical training can aid immeasurably in the attainment ot even this latter objective.

Included under manual arts we find typing, physical education, music, and art. Each of these subjects is an integral part ot the lite and spirit of the Prep School, contributing in its own specific way to the general educational pattern. Typing is taught, not as a commercial subject, but rather as an aid to the student in future academic work. The Glee Club and Band provide musical out- lets tor the students. Our ever-improving athletic teams bear testimony to the success of our physical education program. It provides recreation for those who are not members oi competitive teams, and gives them a sense of fair play that will prove advantageous in later life. An exacting subject, English requires an exacting teacher. Sr. Virginia introduces the Freshmen to the complex machinery of our English departmenteteaching Grammar and Prose and Poetry. ff 0 O o'
