Wafkemafica D E P A R T M E N T V Mathematics is to a technical school what a draw- ing board is to a draftsman. Without it, engineering would be a crude hit and miss process-with exact- ness it is a thing to be dreamed of. It is therefore clear that mathematics is a subject not to be underrated. With this in mind, our thoroughly trained proficient instructors are diligently engaged in teaching us the fine art of trained thought and precise calculation. From essential mathematics to College Survey, liter- ally from A to Z, students are constantly using tech- niques which will be of great value to them in their chosen fields. The four year course in mathematics, includes three semesters of algebra, three semesters of geometry, one ot trigonometry, and one of college survey. Minimum requirements are four semesters of mathematics. The advanced subjects, Trigonometry and College Survey, provide excellent background for the student who expects to enter college. The new head of the mathematics department is Miss Ruth Barney. Department Head I Hope I ve Made the Point Clear. In Math We Play All of the Angles

flggd DEPARTMENT Q The ability to speak English fluently is extremely important to every one not intending to be a hermit. One must be able to make one's self understood and to express one's thoughts clearly. This ability does not come haphazardly, but must be instilled through training. Hence, the English department. Grammatical matter occupies only ten weeks of the semester, while other ten Weeks are devoted to literature. Students are introduced to the classic works and also the works of our contemporary writers. Also the history of our literature is delved into. These studies give out much knowledge of practically every phase of English and a very rich background helpful in any field. Of course all work and no play makes Ioey Cranite a dull boy. So what could be more relaxing than to curl up with some good book and while away the hours. Poetry. is a medium through which the soul is reached by the beauty of every day things, and one must learn to appreciate it. This difficult subject is dealt with by our teachers in a pleasing and entertain- ing manner. Required for graduation are six semesters of English. English seven, which is devoted to American litera- ture, is optional. Miss Ruth Corrigan is the hard Work- ing department head. 11156 Ah Yes! There's Good News Today.
