Miss Burnett, busily at work, is our Commercial English teacher. Mr. Greenfield, patiently waiting for the answers. Is Leonard checking Miss Kintz, or is Miss Kintz checking Leonard? Miss Hand, sophomore college course teacher, and Miss Kintz, senior college course teacher, prepare the students for their future studies. Mr. Stewart, head of the department, conducts stimulating classes for college course juniors. Miss Burnett, Miss Cox, and Mr. Green teach the commercial girls correct grammer. For the general course, Miss M. Connolly, Miss Kuhn, Mr. Greenfield, and Mr. Schwartz are among the fine teachers. Larry must be telling quite a story.

Mr. Stewart, the head of the English department. Oh, is that the answer Mr. Green? To express our thoughts and feelings accurately and vividly we must know how to use our native lan¬ guage. A good command of English helps gain suc¬ cess in our present studies and in our future activities. In our English classes we learn to read fine literature and to speak and write effectively. English is not a subject we leave behind when we graduate from high school. We leave school, but we never stop reading, thinking, talking, and writing. Our finest enjoyments depend on a perceptive understanding of our lan¬ guage. The richer our English is, the richer our life can be. Serenely at work! Is that really me talking?

TJlatk ape there weren ' t any tests in Boyd ' s brief case. From the serious faces of the class, we can detect a test in Mr. Garvey ' s algebra class. Why study mathematics? This is the old familiar question often asked by pupils. Pupils often think that just the ones who will need mathematics in their careers should study mathematics. However, they don ' t realize that every person needs mathematics to solve his everyday problems. Even the housewife finds mathematics essential for solving her domestic pro¬ blems. Since the world we live in today is compli¬ cated, we need many more people with special train¬ ing. This means we need more mathematics. In addi¬ tion to solving our problems mathematics also stimu¬ lates our minds and causes us to think intelligently, to interpret wisely and to come to logical conclusions. These qualities are advantageous for any subject. It is evident that without mathematics we would be living in a non-progressive world. Gosh, looks as if Leonie studied his lesson well last night. Miss McDonald is instructing her class in the delicate task of making a blueprint.
