What? No shrieks of terror? Apparently not as the biology class curiously prod their specimens to see what makes worms tick. Contemplation . . . wonder . . . understand- ing! We l.H. students recognize the importance of the facts and principles involved in the lead- ing fields of science. All of us do not study sci- ence because we expect to become Madame Curie's of tomorrow, but because no matter what line ot work we follow we shall be using the re- sults of science. The digestion of our food, the boiling of water, the crash of thunder, the telephone, the television set, the winds and the weather-are just a few of the thousands of ways we bump up against science in our daily lives. We study the sciences because we are curious about the things that really exist. When we understand better, such little things, as how plants grow, why elec- trical fixtures must be handled carefully, or what makes a cake rise-we shall be able to use this knowledge for our own betterment, and for the betterment of the world in which we live. For science is the lt looks like a calico goldfish, firmly states Ann Hardesty, but Vivian Vogt proves her point in black and white.

A citizen of this modern world cannot afford to be ignorant of mathematics Mathematics--probably the oldest of the world's sciences--challenges every l. H. student. Algebra with its language of letters, geometry with its solids, cylin- ders and spheres train us to employ an abstract, spatial type of thinking. We realize that mathematics plays an im- portant role in human affairs, and know that the door to a great many occupa- tions, careers, and professions is closed to those who have neglected their math- ematical education. Because mathematics is being studied and used everywhere, because it af- fects the welfare of every person living in this modern world-most of us tackle Algebra I and Plane Geometry, and the bravest of us carry on with Advanced Algebra, Solid Geometry, and Trigono- Freshmen Patricia Kearney and Michele Kapecky put their hands together and try to melry. agree on the solution to one of their algebra problems. Senior math students - Susan Wiard, Anne Endery, Gail Clay- master the intricate principles of solid geometry by constructing ton, Joann DiPonio, Lorraine Plank, and Beverly Howe try to their own designs.
