Mathematics Department EOMETRY, Intermediate Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, and Solid Geometry are the subjects which are presented in our Mathematics Department. '1 nese courses require a great deal of time and sincere application to the work, as many students, who have come to grief over various x's and y's, theorems, statements, and proofs, have discovered. Miss Harvey, Miss Warburton, and Mr. Eidt, instructors of mathematics, have given their best efforts, and have spent countless hours aiding backward students. These efforts have been rewarded by retaining and even surpassing the thigh standards long ago set in the Mathematics Department of Hamburg High School by Mrs. Anna Ueblacher and by Mrs. Martha Howe.

T R I F O L I O .s css- 4 l l THE FRENCH III CLASS, CHECKING COMPOSITIONS BY GENERAL CRITICISM Left to right, standing: Fors, R., Dow, Miss Warburton, Prine, Dugan, MacTaggar't: seated: Smith, Strait, Sharp, Horton, Wrench, Tillinghast, Russ. Language Department TUDENTS of French, Latin, or German, like to astound their parents and awe their younger brothers and sisters, by demanding something at the dinner table in French, or giving orders to the younger ones in German, or striking a pose and crying Veni, Vidi, Vici! The French I classes have been reading both French and English for outside reading reports. This is rather an innovation, for the classes usually read only French. The French III class studied Les Oberlesf' a story whose chief ideal is patriotism to France. The introduction of project work in addition to regular class work, is one of the new phases of Latin. There has been friendly rivalry between different classes this year, for the banner of a winning class was hung above the banner of the losing class. Time tests were given each week, and the results were posted in the form of an Honor Roll. By a few variations in the schedule of study, German has taken on a new aspect for the students. The direct method of teaching has been used. Poetry and quotations were memorized. Selections showing the present condition in Germany were read extensively. The German III class made the usual beneficial study of Schiller's 'iWilfhelm Tell. The study of languages is rightly one of the most valued and popular of school subjects today. Twentysetcn

Science Department OMMON lyega severe causticg hydrochloric acid-a powerful and active chemf ical, add one to the other, and what is the result? Only a little common salt! Science is full of such seeming paradoxes. Chemistry is just one of the sciences taught in Hamburg High Schoolg but it serves to represent the attitude of all the science classes. The real purpose of scientific edu' cation is to investigate the nature of our surroundings, in order to find out how they affect our daily life. However, dealing with the material is not cnoughg it is essential to go still farther into the mysteries of matter, to study its fundamental structure by learning of molecules, atoms, and electrons, the theoretic huildingfblocks of the universe. It is with these thoughts in mind that the students of the Physics and Chemistry Departments apply themselves to their daily tasks of investigating an electrical applif ance or preparing a powerful acid.
