MATHEMATICS rn recent years mathematics has come to play an increasingly important part in the life of an individual. For this reason the mathematical department of KHS has been considerably revised. For those desiring only the fundamental principles of math, such as addition and subtraction, practical math and mechanical drawing are offered. For those desiring to go a little farther into the subject, courses in algebra and plane geometry are available. These subjects are taught by Miss Virginia Harris and Mr. William Dragalin. Then, of course, there are other students who desire to major in the mathematical field. For them a broad course in trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra is offered under the direction of Mr. John Love. This plan of offering mathematics is in keeping with modern educational tendencies and appears to be working much better than the old system. DISCOVERINQ UNKNOWNS JOHN J.

As president of the Southwestern Conference he has also brought about many improvements in our athletic relations with the rest of the schools. Mr. Love, assistant to Mr. Blodgett, and also Dean of Boys, lends a hand wherever he is needed. Writing out excuses, conducting sales campaigns for the Athletic Association, and consulting with us about our problems are just a few of his duties. Well liked by all, he plays an important role in EHS activities. Miss Sloan, Dean of Girls, guides their activities in EHS. Kept busy by classes, directing plays, and writing out excuses, she still finds time to confer with the girls concerning their personal problems. Eleven

SCIENCE Atoms, molecules, electrons, protons, neutrons, microbes, elements, compounds and then you finally wake up and realize what a vast field science really is. You begin to appreciate the work of past scientists and the obstacles which they were forced to overcome before they were able to present their accomplishments to the world. Few people are able to teach science effectively, compared with the greater number of successful teachers in other fields. EIIS had one of these few in Mr. Berwyn Robinson, who resigned early in January to accept a position at Michigan State University. Although we were sorry to see him go, we were glad to see him get this opportunity which he had earned by his past efforts. He was succeeded, however, by another fine instructor, Mr. Don Lercher, who formerly taught in Farmington, 111. IS OUR SPECIALTY A. M. GIBSON Illinois Wesleyan. B. S.
