LSE kinking Guides nquiring Winds Comprehension of the subject is the aim in biology and science classes. Through the use of dissection, more exten- sive lab work, and experiments in cell structure, biology students obtain understanding. General science classes study the earth and its properties, astronomy, and man’s scientific advancements. Physics and chemistry students delve into the world of why things act as they do. By using a chart containing experiments which they are study- ing, such as gravitational problems, and by an increased amount of lab work in the analysis of chemicals, the physics and chemistry students prepare for a changing world. Proving in practice what he is say- ing in theory, James Sevast holds the generator transformer and refers Malcolm Arnell to the formula for finding the number of watts that will be generated by using a cur- rent of a specific number of volts. Thinking is the faculty the math department is striving to develop in its students. In algebra students are given the fundamentals for doing algebraic problems, such as navi- gational, proportional and logarithmic questions. Geo- metry students construct three-dimensional objects—poly- gons, triangles, spheres—and study planes and their prop- erties to obtain an understanding of how these objects look in perspective. Trigonometry students, by using thought provoking problems, such as identities—a trigono- metric equation—gain the ability to think, not only in terms of mathematics, but also in terms of everyday life.

Bus- iness math, and accounting students deal with such every- day problems as percentages in stocks and bonds, or how to record certain items in the accounting books. After to Gain P roficiency “Each record has a slot on the rack- The Fabulous Fifties goes here.’ Woolworth’s manager Mr. H. T. Crane, points out the place for the record Artis Virdin is holding. “Arty”, a distributive education work program student, receives a credit toward his diploma for fif- teen working hours in the store. Concentration is the mood of these shorthand students, Jackie Bell, Sarah Bowler and Audrey Rigby, as they type their shorthand notes. Having taken their dictation, they are endeavoring to increase their speed by accurately transcribing their notes. learning the fundamentals and meanings of the odd- looking symbols, shorthand students are forever increasing their speed in taking dictation. Another facet of the business departments is on-the-job training, designed for the student who is interested in getting first-hand exper- ience in selling or in business administration.
