Qs a basis for college mathematics, algebra, trigonometry and solid geometry are offered. Commercial mathematics is invaluable to those planning a career and industrial mathe- matics equips the student to meet the problems ot tomorrow. This year, for the first time, a book written by the members of the department and the outgrowth ot tive years Work, is being used in geometry classes. This important publication sets forth the value ot cultivating the reasoning power. lack McCann and Dick Olney study the intricacies of slide rules in a senior mathematics class.

Ynagnzotude of Glzanges The science department continues to help train youth to live successfully and happily in a world oi accelerating scientific achievement. Progress is so rapid now that we experience magnitudes ot change in a traction ot one lite- time greater than those formerly spanning countless generations. To meet these problems ot change, youth ot today will need all the science training pos- sible. Some new equipment has been re- ceived, but the wartime unbalance ot availf able materials has not been tully overcome. l-lelp from scientific people is needed it We hope to control the atomic bomb wrote Dr. Pllbert Einstein, tamed scientist, in a personal letter to I.
