It is im- possible for a scalene, an isosceles, or an ob - tuse triangle to have more than one obtuse angle. This language, the jargon of math, is becoming meaningful to more and more students as they advance in the many mathe- matics courses offered in HSI-IS. First and second-year algebra classes study fundamental algebraic operations and equa- tions to find unknowns. Plane geometry, a study of plane figures, prepares the student for solid geometry, which deals with solid figures. Trigonometry uses the right triangle and develops one's ability to find the third side from the functions of its angles. Because of present world developments, there has been a greater demand for mathe- maticians than ever before. HSHS will meet this demand and among America's future mathematicians place many of its graduates. 26 rf iz Q is at E Stix-1 'mg .mr . C , .

'the spice of the school Variety is the spice of life, and there is spice in the Music Department. Harmony.

Activities begin each day with first-period band, comprised of the m.1in marching and the concert bands. Second-period band consists of those stu- dents who have not had the experience necessary to reach the perfection required for public per- formance. Troubadours are the first choral group to meet during the day. Girls in Troubsdours are selected for their matched voices and their exceptional ability as singers. Boys' chorus brings the sound of lusty male voices to the school. Fourth and fifth periods find the girls' choruses le.1rning new music to sing when .ill the choruses combine for performances.

Scientific experiments and explosions Our future space men and potential satellite builders need a good background in high school science: biology, chemistry. and physics. Every year the halls outside the biology class- rooms are saturated with the pungent odor of formaldehyde, which means that students have begun dissecting frogs or fish to see what makes them tick. No sooner is the dissecting season over than the innocent passerby who strolls past the chemistry laboratory finds himself set upon by other peculiar odors. Hydrogen sulfide, which gives rotten eggs their unpleasant personality, can be and is pro- duced in large quantities by the mad scientists of the chemistry classes. The only nonoffensive students of the Science Department make up the physics class. They call themselves the Knights of the Slide Rule and are ready at an instant to solve any physics problem ranging from resultant forces to coefficients of linear expansion.
