MATHEMATICS Leo is justly famous for the splendid training in mathematics given its students. Several cooperative scholarships to Illinois Institute of Technology fArmourj and one to Purdue School of engineering were awarded to Leo graduates last year for out- standing ahility in mathematics. Elementary algebra, that puzzling work of x's. yis, and unknowns. is taken by fresh- men. Sophomores study plane geometry, Pnoressou MATTEI Director of Music Rav. Bn. P. B. CROKE Mathematics KKK. the science which Euclid perfected. This course consists of a study of propositions dealing with plane figures, and numerous original exercises based on these proposi- tions. Although it is optional. the majority of students take mathematics in third year. The first semester is devoted to intermediate algebra. and the second half to plane trigo- nometry. Only those seniors who are most adept at the subject continue in mathematics. Solid geometry. dealing with planes, lines. and angles in space. polyhedrons. cones and cylinders. and the sphere, is taken for one semester, and advanced algebra the second. Besides mathematics. mechanical drawing is often taken in third or fourth year by future engineers or architects. SCIENCES The freshman at Leo enters into the new and fascinating field of science when he takes general science. In it he gets a gen- eral scientific cognizance in preparation for study in the specific branches of science. Physics, the science of natural laws and phenomena is a subject which affects every- one. Practical applications or observations of the principles of physics are involved in almost every action we perform from the time we rise until we retire at night. There- fore, physics is the most practical subject which can be taken in high school. Unbounded opportunities in the field of scientific discovery are open to the future chemist. Chemistry is a science whose rapid development during the past few years has Page Sixteen
