Mr. Kindy shows his doss the beautiful symmetry thot con be found in geometry. TRUTH BUT SUPREME BEAUTY Grady Ross ponders over a difficult prob- lem assigned to him by Mr. Harris. As freshmen we became acquainted with square roots, finding an unknown in an equation, and the quadratic formula. We tried to apply the axioms that we had learned in the solving of story problems. Even though we learned algebra, we were ignorant of geometry. This year of geometry brought the under- stonding of objects from everyday experiences. We learned the area of a cube, the volume of a cone, and the area of the earth on which we live. Our brains began to work as we learned postulates, theorems, and proofs. Trigonometry brought the learning of relationships in a right triangle. Solid geometry and college algebra broadened our knowledge of fundamental things that we had learned earlier. In calculus and analytic ge- ometry class we were introduced to higher mathematics. We wondered if one of our classmates would discover a way to solve the problem of division by zero. 27
