PROPER SENTENCE STRUC¬ TURE is one of the necessities of good English, proves Mr. Green as he shows the differ¬ ence between two sentences. MISS CONNOLLY smiles as one of her students gives sev¬ eral essentials of good English, namely, proper punctuation, correct grammar, and a good vocabulary. • He further ex¬ plains that -run-on sentences, misplaced modifiers, and slang words denote poor English.

M • MISS BURNETT, who knows the importance of proper punctuation, dictates the rules for the use of the comma to her class. A MISPLACED MODIFIER certainly does change the meaning of a sentence as Miss Kuhn ' s English class finds out. 12 The courses in English train for clear, accurate, and intelligent use of the English language. We study in detail the three phases of English, speaking, writing, and reading. In speaking we are trained to express ourselves clearly and effectively. We learn the art of self-expression through oral reports, storytelling, parliamentary procedure, and group discussion. In writing we learn the fundamentals of grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, composition, and vocabulary building. In reading we are introduced to the great literary heritage of the English speaking world. We study different types of literature, novels, plays, essays, and poetry. We learn to read better and to under¬ stand what we read. To master these three phases of English is to hold the wheel and to drive off with our future secure. MISS COX has just asked the class to explain the differ¬ ence between the active and passive voic e, and by the looks of confidence on the girls’ faces, they all must know.

MATHEMATICS — mecuiu UHfy ouA. jjUtu ie Our courses In mathematics at the Chelsea Senior High School give us a thorough back¬ ground in this most important field—a field which in this modern world of ours has gained even a greater importance than it had in years before. When we notice that practically all of the dis¬ coveries and inventions of the past century have been brought about only through a knowledge of mathematics, we begin to understand the exceedingly prominent role this science plays in our lives. We begin to realize the broad field mathematics is a nd the many fine opportunities it offers us. If some field of mathematics is not our aim, however, in whatever field of concentration we do hope to enter we will find mathematics a great asset in our later life. Our success or failure in any form of scientific work depends a great deal upon our knowledge of mathematics. The businessman, the. banker, the aviator, and even the artist finds his mathematical training invaluable. In our mathematics classrooms we learn to think, and to think with accuracy and clearness. Our studies of geometry and algebra train our minds to be more alert and observing. We learn to reason logically and therefore we become more capable of attacking in an intelligent manner the problems which are apt to arise in our everyday life. We learn exactness and precision and the necessity of complete cor¬ rectness. We will reap many rewards from a conscien¬ tious study of mathematics and from it our lives will be enriched always. MR. O BRIEN goes over an important proposition in geometry; namely, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two sides, while Mr J. Ridge discusses the h omework assignment, which must have been easy by the looks on the students ' faces.
