mafAemaficd To add to golden numbers golden num- bers. -Dekker VERY time you cross a bridge, every time you enter a building, every time you hear atomic energy mentioned, you and every other living person, be he iun- gle, desert, or city inhabitant, are benefit- ting from the marvels of mathematics. There is exceedingly little we can do in life without involving something mathematical. Keeping this in mind, the administration has seen to it that an adequate and em- cient Math Department is maintained at Hempstead High. Headed by Mr. Robert Pop Hayes, the department prepares many students for college by providing them with their minimum two or three years of math. For those pupils particularly math- ematically inclined, advanced courses are also offered. I . ' E 'Flu .2 1- '7' f ., f ' Z , WM' 5 , , I , . lf f, 'f f' .' ' 'aff' , ' 4, 7 Q , , ' .fn il ' fd!

All four classes have their choice of French, Latin, Spanish, or German. Many students take two languages in preparing for college. This picture is an example of the indus- try put into linguistic studies. One of Mr. Navarra's classes is striving to master French pronunciation. Besides learning grammar, students become acquainted with the culture and literature of the coun- try whose language they are studying. They often learn songs and act out plays peculiar to the various countries. Many students go on to ioin a language club where they can further their interest and enjoy themselves as well. ,-,A 5857-lm AM, W. Q s xi f , 5 . Qi his X E ,Q Ill l llilN i r i K 41 I8

Science is . . .like virtue, its own exceeding great reward. -Kingsley LTHOUGH hard work is a necessity in studying such subiects as General Sci- ence, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, or Earth Science, the students studying them find their work well rewarded. Future doctors, nurses, dentists, and scientists are learning for their own benefit and the benefit of others by increasing their knowledge of themselves and their environment. Not only students with a scientific career in mind are taking these subjects. To many stu- dents the study of science is not a required subiect at all, but a source of seemingly endless fascination for them. Excellent laboratory facilities in our Science Depart- ment, headed by Mr. Faust, furnish the stu- dents with a fine opportunity for scientific investigation. cien ce 1 V 4 ,,' ft' .. -..- X Q X.
