1 Miss Ruth Clement with some members of the typing class who are preparing manuscripts. ZYPING is a popular elective at the Academy, and rightly deserves to be stressed, for its importance cannot be over-estimated as it emphasizes organization, neatness, precision, accuracy, and speed, as well as correct style in the preparation of themes, research papers, and other manuscripts, a large part of high school and college work. In addition, the study of business forms and letters is invaluable in preparation for further secretarial work in business or in many phases of Christian service. SUPERVISED STUDY HALLS during the day and each school evening further the individual training of students at Hampden DuBose Academy, for in this quiet yet relaxed atmosphere conducive to concentrated study and further research, study habits are noted and encouragement and guidance given to the students by those in charge. During the day each student goes to study hall when not in class. Each evening the freshman, sophomore, and junior girls and boys have separate, supervised study halls, while the seniors have the privilege of studying in their rooms. Miss Mary jean Hoffman supervises a study hall period. 0 ,, , F3 ia-. -lzl 'K ,. ..4-.. , . ...4a.' .4 ' M '- is 1 3 5, it 2 5 5 C ik-1.43

04LGEBRA I is an introductory course in high school mathematics and presents a basic consideration of formulas, equations, and graphs. As an effective introduction to logical, coherent thinking, it provides train- ing in neatness, order, and diligence. The study of mathematics opens the eyes of the young people to a realization that the Almighty God has created the universe with a perfect design based upon certain unchang- ing mathematical principles. Algebra II contains further studies of formulae and the relation and properties of quantity. GEOMETRY places emphasis upon clear reasoning, accuracy, andlogical proof, and assists to train students to analyze and understand the solution of problems dealing with geometric constructions and equations. By developing this power of clear reasoning and logical thinking, each individual can more easily solve prob- lems in other fields. Plane Geometry is required, while Solid Geometry and Trigonometry are oifered for those who desire further study in this field. Mrs. Alfred Glatfelter and Algebra II class work on problem in quadratics.

aglze fear of the .ford is the beginning of knowledge . . . U Prove,-lu 1:7 KIBLE has been emphasized at Hampden DuBose Academy since its founding in 1934 with the purpose of training young people in eternal values and for active Christian leadership wherever the Lord may place their lives. God has graciously showered His blessings and manifested His approval upon every phase of the work, all completely impregnated with His word, the supreme authority for faith and conduct. The inspired Word of God, revealing the Lord Iesus Christ, the Living Word, is revered and studied in personal, private devotions, in dormitory prayers, in chapel and vesper services, in special evangelistic services, and in Bible Conferences, while each class is opened with a devotional period. All classroom study is correlated with the Word of God and taught by those who are familiar with the Bible, as well as their academic material. All students during their years at the Academy take Bible as a course of study. Comprehensive courses in Acts and Daniel are annually alternated for the junior-senior class, while the freshman-sophomore class follows the same pattern with studies in the Pentateuch and the Gospels. Rejoicing in the goodness of Cod during the twenty-live years that are past, the Academy goes forward confidently in the light of the Written and Living Word, for . . . Thy Word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations . . . Psalm 119:89, 90. In Bible class Miss Margaret Anderson shows some of the freshmen and sophomores a pictorial map of Palestine.
