TRIGON OM ETRY The trigonometry class, under Miss Luther, studied the solu- tion of triangles. This course is the basis of many college mathematics courses. Trigo- nometry is required of pre- engineering and pre-medical students. FRENCH This year's class of French students learned the basic fun- damentals of grammar and vocabulary. A good reading knowledge of the language was the primary aim of the course.

1. MARYLO r'-S Secretary President . Sophomore CI USS This year, 1948, marked the graduation from CT-IC of a class distinguished for its size and scholarship. In both respects our class held top place among all the classes ever to go out from these halls. Composed of sixty members, fourteen of whom were girls and forty-six boys, we demonstrated that we in- tended to get the utmost from our college education. The grade point average for our entire class for the first semester of this year was 3.90 and for veterans, 3.95. These averages excel the previous high of 3.83 in the second semester of the 1946-47 school year. Two sophomores maintained straight A's for two years, while almost one-half of the mem- bers of our class held A and B averages. As leaders in the life of the college, we left behind the foundation of school activities which we hope will not perish. It was hard work to build extra-curricular activities such as this book, but we are thankful for the training in leadership and cooperation which we have received from them. The memory of pleasant associations with teachers and fellow students and the fine education which we obtained here, as well as the many lasting memories of our social events, will go forward with us as we face the world of tomorrow- happy to have belonged to a college equaled by few. Our class is a proud class- proud of our members, of our scholarship, of our cont 'b ' ri ution to our college. CLASS OFFICERS ELDON WEBB I Vice President U WIGGS ,,,,...4 FRANK OSBORN
