AT RAL CIE CE Science is the diet of hungry minds, revealing a multitude of nature's secrets to those who partake of it. In fact, it is the skeleton of all academic endeavor. The freshman learns Why the wind blows, how the earth quakes, and why volcanoes erupt. In biology he puzzles over the miracle of photosynthesis. The sophomore may even open a frog to watch its heart beat-to see what makes it tick. More laws of nature are explored in chemistry, physical science, and phys- ics. In these classes, juniors and seniors witness a variety of experiments and explosions : from distilling Water to plaguing the study hall with sulfur fumes, from tracing radio-active sources to burn- ing a finger on a hot test tube. But science is not just a list of facts with laboratoly periods to make it more interesting. It is a part of life, a very real part, invaluable, becoming more so each day. ar 9 Q W -i:1 r in 'ii '1 9 I I r 3 , an W dig, N, Ml ' tm ,aa .

Leland Haines, B.S. 2523 Green Leaf Avenue Elkhart, Indiana Algebra, General Science MATHEMATICS Mathematics speaks to a student's quest for knowledge. Algebra's slide rules, formulas, and log tables answer this search. The theorems, protractors, compasses, and need for clear reasoning of a geometry student ask for attention. The functions, sines, and transit are a trig student's friends. Mathematics calls to a student's curi- osity. Why does A :qi-r2? Did Euclid know what he was talking about? What is infinity? Mathematics is called upon in many areas of our lives. The businessman cal- culating his proiit, the farmer figuring his income tax, and the mother teaching a child, all need these stocked stores of knowledge and experience. Therefore we study mathematics.

: Dvorak,s New World Symphony can I transport him into another world and I erase his temporal cares, : Acquainted with English and Ameri- M can writers and their works in literature, I he might remember several quotations of I Shakespeare or the main characters of g Animal Farm. As an avid reader, he is gg still sociable. With a cheery Buenos Q BE diasg Como esta usted?,' he brings a smile to the strange faces of the Puerto Rican family who just moved in. Recreational- ly, he enjoys a Scrabble game in Latin and heartily participates in a German spelling bee. Impractical individual? Indeed not. He visits enchanting South Pacific islands and quaint European towns right in his easy chair through the pages of a book. Dedicated to his favorite interests, firmly believing in their virtuesg reaching people through music, literature, or a foreign language, the line arts student is a brother to mankind. Vi n E Noah G.
