Math, Algebra Bradley Univ., BS. JOYCE TOTTEN Algebra, Geometry Univ. of III., BS. With a well-planned mathematics curriculum, our school is prepared to meet the challenge of the modern scientific age. While college-bound students studied Algebra I, General Math was available to the rest of the freshmen who wanted to obtain a more advanced course in arithmetic. The next course in math is Plane Geometry, which teaches the student how to prove that geometric constructions arc equal. Advanced courses in Alge- bra II, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry are offered for those students wishing to go into higher Mathematics and to prepare themselves for college. 15

Scientists at Work — Do Not Disturb! FRANK BAILEY General Science Univ. of III., BS., M.Ed. RICHARD INGRAM Biology, General Science W. III. State, BS., MS. KENNETH STORM Biology Univ. of III., BS., MS. LYNN SWANGO Chemistry, Physics GeneraI Science E. III. Univ., BS., MS. Today more than ever before you are hearing of the importance of science. General Science, the basic foundation for all sciences, is required of all freshmen. In biology, sophomores learn about the life and habits of plants and animals. Chemistry students spend many hours in the laboratory prov- ing chemical formulas and experimenting with the basic elements in our universe. Learning about the states of matter and the forms of energy is a part of the study of Physics. Students are expected to acquire scientific knowledge and skills to prepare them for work or better education. These students arc finding out for themselves about plants in the well-equipped biology room. The experiment proving heat lost equals heat gained is being demonstrated by Don and Ed. 14
