SCIENCE AND MATH Science and Mathematics are aca- demic stumbling blocks for many high school students, but for those mental giants of the class of 1950, like Ulrich, Clampitt, and Combs these classes are a snap of the linger. We should forget the idea that Science and Math are so hard. Really, just like some people, they're not bad at all when you get to know them. In the future you may need them. Often such courses are excluded be- cause some people do not plan to go to college, but they are often the ones who become frustrated by lack of courses when they discover they are able to go to college. Mathematics begins with Algebra, Business Arithemtic, and General Math. Geometry proves quite excit- ing to many sophomores if for no other reason than a periodic glance at the grade book. It then progresses on through the wonders of Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry for our dear Juniors, and finally it solves all of the mysteries of the universe for those Seniors who so proudly exclaim iand I quotey We take 'Trig' this year! After speaking both loud and long about Mathematics I am sure when I say that the marvels of Science are as equally wonderful you will no longer just want to dip your toes into Physics and Chemistry, b .it rather, plunge headlong into Science and delve into the never-ending marvels of Nature's many and varied myster- ics.

LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Spanish in H. H. S. is that oasis in a desert of otherwise drab aca- demic subjects, which provides a daily excursion to foreign lands and people. Although some do not take it as seriously as others, it affords the opportunity for desire- able language skills and helps us to understand better our own lan- guage through a study by compari- son. Entering the door into Spanish class we abandon our ordinary cares of the school day to prepare ourselves for anything to happen -Cand it usually doesll Hic, Haec, Hoc, This is no joke Arno. ainas, arnat, Give 'ein all you got! This yell was originated bv Bliss Rust. the Latin teacher. If 'you're curious about this yell, see Miss Rust. Her students believe she knows rnore about Latin than the Romans do. The Latin class last year held a Roman Banquet followed by con- tests and games in celebration of the founding of Homo. Students of the Latin classes have kept derivative notebooks to increase their vocabulary and have Latin prefixes which show the in- fluence of Latin and Roman life on our own. Every year they enter the Latin contests. Don Hilbert and Charles Wfalters are participating in the rogional contest this year. XVe hope they will carry on to the state con- tE'Sf. Inge Tlzn ty one
