v-ix Color was certainly a factor in the world of Mathe- matics. For some, Math was the stunning red surprise of pi not bought at a bakery or the understanding that iff wasn't a funny way to be undecided. For others, Math was nothing more than a jumble of numbers and letters, making the days spent in class a very blue ex- perience. Geometry class was most prominent in making mathematics a colorful experience. Pointing the way to new concepts was a line up of various projects, including a booklet showing examples of symmetry. At Christmas, the students of 313 celebrated by mak- ing bright geometric ornaments which transformed the room into a spectrum of colors. String designs were also a way of teaching geometry from a different angle. Projecting a clear picture onto these mathematical mysteries was a wonderful blue machine called an overhead. Onto a white screen, light was shed on many mind-expanding problems providing a certain unity to math whether the class was basic math, algebra, trig, or pre-calculus. ig

Music is Noteable As much as a music student attempts to be in- conspicious, her presence is always noteable. For instance there is the chorus member who hums Christmas carols under her breath in the middle of September, or the dedicated member trodding off to St. lohn's for her contribution to the band. The average music appreciation student nonchalantly speaks of opus to orchestra , while the uncultured wonders if it's by Queen. But the real hard core music scholar is a one woman band and comes fully assembled with flute, guitar or piano. She can be recognized by the various music cases she carries with her as well as the ragged edges of sheet music haphazardly sticking out of her English book. The talent is unquestionable. Whether it is a contest at B.G.S.U., a voice lesson, a chorus at Christmas Assembly or Spring Concert, from the blare of Ship-A-Hoy , to the soft blue sound of a fluteg one thing is certain: to a music student, music is the essence and key of life.
