Side ol the Desk Probably all students have had some contact with either Mr. Walker or the members of his staff, Miss McMahon, Mr. Stinson and Mr. Hill. Our principal, Mr. Walker, is the general staff super- visor. Among many important jobs, he sits in on the Student Council Executive Committee meetings. Miss McMahon, the dean of girls, offers guidance to the girls of all three classes. During the junior year, she confers with parents about Drexel Test results. Miss McMahon's college bulletin library gives many students new ideas for their future schooling. Mr. Stinson, assistant principal, is the head of the Athletic Association and also teaches a class in European International Relations. The dean of boys, Mr. Hill, gives guidance to the boys, in much the some manner as Miss McMahon guides the girls. As an extra activity, he is the sponsor of the Boys Hi-Y. We feel very fortunate in having such congenial personnel at the head of our high school. Mr. Wal ker's Staff JOHN W. WALKER AGNES MCMAHON WILLIAM B. STINSON WALTON B. HILL Dean of Girls Asst.

MIRIAM V. N. COLLINS National Honor Society QL, -not PAUL J. DOBRANSKY j.V. Football Mathematics Every day mathematics are becoming more and more important in this modern world in which we live, and Haverford's well-qualified staff is doing its part in acquainting its students with the various fields of mathematics. General mathematics, offered to those who do not wish to pursue higher learning, is taught by Mr. Harter. For students who missed elementary algebra in junior high, this course is offered again in the high school. As the degree of difficulty is increased, plane geometry and intermediate algebra are next in line. These courses of study are under the supervision of Miss Collins, Miss Wiener, Mrs. Johnson, and the Messrs. Dobransky, Howarth, and Musser. The ultimate goal in the field of math at Haverford is to pass solid geometry and trigonometry. Both these courses are one semester each, and are taught by Mr. Howarth. As one looks in on a solid or trig class, he may find among the multitude of boys one or two courageous, but bewildered, girls. We are proud of the fact that Haverford is one of the few schools in this are-a which offers a course in trigonometry. For the first time, this year an auditor course lone in which no mark is givenl in college algebra was offered. lt met with such enthusiasm that perhaps this course eventually will become a permanent part of our mathematics program.
