The abc's, x's, and y's are juggled into a solution by students Dolores Descher, Catherine Allen, and Sophie Labenz . . . The best test of an algebraic mind lies in the ability to solve problemsg thus, these members of an advanced algebra group prove their skill accordingly . . . Senior trig students nfl. to nj Dolores Thon and Helen Mortimer exemplify their mathe- matics ability by tracing the cycle of various line func- tions--thus sines, cosines, and tangcnts are graphcd.

Youth of today, realizes' the importance of mathematics oflcred in their school' curriculum. They face a future of streamlining, time-saving. and precision. To meet the clamor for proficient inathematicians. students are given a mathematical foundation hy the required basic algebra l and geometry in freshman and sophomore years, respectively. fllany .desirous of furthering this knowledge go on to major in ulgehra ll. trigonometry, and solid geometry, thus com- pleting a four-year cycle.

if Q41 -acr- We converse in Spanish, boast these students of Span ish I Each girl tells m Spanish the story of her picture in any language a story is always entertaining Our international relationships today more than ever are in urgent need of strengthening.

'lihus by assimilation of such knowledge into young minds, a perpetual readiness to increase friendly negotiations is established. Then. by studying these two languages, Little Flovverites travel to all parts of the globe. Their feet tread on strange lands which become more familiar as the study of the language advances. This truly will prove a great future aid in building friendly alliances with nations-a step toward world peace. An exchange of ideas through pen-pals in France helps to stimulate interest in this French IV class.
