Sciazce Last-minute instructions are given to Ilsa Roslow by Thomas Lawrence. Every student knows that it was a mere apple fall- ing from a tree that was the immediate impetus for Isaac Newton's formulation of the theory of gravita- tional attraction. However the physics student is aware that there is more to the physical sciences than concussion-causing apples. In chemistry classes we waded through equations, elements and com- pounds. When we reached the physics classroom, we were greeted with a plethora of units-ergs, jffjfQ,:S-'E l 'oules d nes and even one named for our friend- - l 2 Y 2 .. , newtons.

infer It was during our senior year that the first American jet passenger plane made its record-breaking flight across the Atlantic Ocean, and a Russian rocket first passed the moon. This serves to emphasize the fact that in our world no one can afford to know only his native language. It was the teachers of our lan- guage departments, both in subject classes and in other activities, who endeavored to teach us a foreign tongue as well as to introduce us to another country's culture. Students of French were not only taught the lan- guage, but learned of Gallic influences in our mod- ern life, and those who desired to learnihe Spanish tongue likewise became acquainted with the customs and people of Castile. German and Latin aspirants were made aware of the fine traditions complement- ing their respective languages. Books are keys to wisdo1n's treasureg Books are gates to lands of pleasureg Books are paths that upward leadg Books are friends. Come, let us read. EMILIE POULSSOM M lle.

Since all sciences are dependent on mathematics, courses in this Held were available to all students. These courses ranged from elementary algebra to calculus. From the numerous classes a selection was made of superior students Who joined the math team class under the direction of Louis Moskowitz. Special periods were also set aside in which the members explored more advanced phases of mathematics. Louis Moskowitz reviews the subject of logarithms with members of the Math Team Class.
