MATHEMATICS ATHEMATICS, an iiiterestiiio ' and .useful study, and one that we cannot set along without a goodly knowledge of, in this day and age, should be taken and studied in earnest by every student that enters high school. We need inatheniatics in evei ' y walk of life; from the house- wife who figures her household bills up to the modern business woman, also from the farmer up to the great engineer anil business man. iMathematics is the foundation of almost every trade; without it the Egyptians could not have divided their land correctly after each overflow of the Nile; without it we could not have our locomotives, great bridges or canals, shipping could not be directed at their targets. In our first year of hap])y high school life we studied Algebra, (or any- how thought we .studied it, and by the quantity of paper and pencils we u.sed I gue.ss everybody else thought we did too) and continued this for a year and a half. Algebra is a hard .subject and formed tbe foundation for higher mathe- matics. Thanks to i lr. llaughtelin, our in.structor, who hammered it into our heads and made us get it. He even started a booby class for the unfortunate ones that couldn’t quite understand it at first. Then it was fun for some who could sit and laugh at their mates in two algebra classes a day. But believe me, there was some hard work done and also midnight oil burned, and Rocke- feller made more money in that little time than at any other time of his wondei-fnl career, while we worked like the dickens and stop])cd that booliy class, which made us laughed at — little green Freshmen of the Ilohai-t High. We had lots of fun while in this class, for it was a large class and naturally hard to handle. We passed into iilain (leometry and thought it would be ipiite hard, but soon found it fairly simple and interesting. Hei’e some of the girls found how awkward they were, when it came to constructing angles and figures, and more so when we jiassed into Solid. The girls were afraid, and oidy three con- tinued the .study with the boys. That was a splendid cla.ss and we have to thank Mr. Ejijis for it, who made it interesting and gave us some work that will he useful forever. Some good arguments arose while in this class. One was between Hain-y and Phillip and the.y argued it very well in Asseinbl.v one morning to the delight of the rest of the High School. The question was; Resolved: That the toi) of a wheel turns faster and twice as far as the bottom while resting on the ground and turning on an axle. Phillip on the affirmative think we all developed onr mental jmwer and also enjoyed it so much that I think the rest of the class were jealous of us. We found this work especiall.v helpful when we took iq) Physics and Chemistry and we knew why our faithful teachers had insisted upon our under.standing and getting the work. So we have this to say, from hard earned experiences, that our advice to every incoming student is, “Take all the mathematics that you can get and to get it well!” RAYMOND WOOD, ’16. o carried on, the firing of guns from the forts and battleships could not be and Harry the negative.

Q a year are sleds, windmills, pedestals, nmsie stands and other smaller ai ' ticles made by the ;rade hoys, and first and second hif h school boys, while thos(? produced by the itiore advanced pupils are chairs, cedar chests, lihrai ' y tables, porch swings, writing desks, and davenports. Along with manual training, le.ssons in turning are given on the lathe, where such articles as cups, vases, mugs, ball bats, Indian clubs, chaii- legs, mallets, and other things were finished, to be used in connection with the othei ' Jiianual training work. Under the careful guidance of the present efficient instructor, l Ir. Ep])s, the hoys have shown great ability, skill and possibility in the |)romising lines of handicraft. PHILIP WALDECK. MG. O 0
