-l MATHEMATICS -Mt The mathematics department makes the girls aware of the development of form that is beautiful because of regularity. After studying geometry, we are able to see the lovely designs of the snow flakes and appreciate the individual symmetry of each one. Because of our natural love of form we enjoy making graphs which in themselves are pleasing patterns to the eye. In mathematics we learn how to think more clearly,. and we gain a certain satisfaction found in no other subject by successfully solving a difficult problem. Just as in our classroom we struggle with and over- come each mathematical example, in the same way later in life by facing problems and mastering them we restore the harmony which has been lost. The study of mathematics furnishes us with the knowledge of this subject which is necessary for everyday living. The home budgets, income tax, and investments require our knowing some mathematics to handle them intelligently. If one plans to go to college, she must take this subject which is not only important because of its own value, but also supple- ments other courses. I. Mrs. Stephens demonstrates a difficult problem to her geometry class. 2. Miss Patton helps Elsa O'Callaghan with her work in the bank. 3. Miss Claflin uses her spare time to sponsor the A.W.V.S. with Miss Davis, who is a teacher of English. Head of Department l Patton Sue E.
