Youth must be stimulated to think, and guided in this thoughtg curiosity must be awakened. Our Mathematics and Science Departments are doing their utmost to de- velop this interest and ability. Our high school chemistry and physics courses give the eager student the impetus to go forward into a career of thinking, evaluating, experi- menting, and discovering. Our upper term mathematics courses afford the same stimulii, and their effectiveness has been manifested by the desire of the students to have the mathematics program enlarged. To meet this demand a course in college mathematics has been started. This fine part played by the Flushing High School's math and science teachers deserves recognition. We would like humbly to express our thanks to them for helping us along a course which will leave no stones Keneth Weis,-,ld and Bama,-d wcuish unturned. Bi.

Cray attends to these questions of students who are in the whirl 39 99 of college admission. As the competition for college entrance stiffens more and more each year, college-hound students are grateful for lVlr. Cray's well-rounded guidance.
