JEAN GORDON, B.S., Indiana State College Field Trips Enrich Student Studies Entering the various math courses, the students soon found out that there was much to be learned about the world of the unknown. In algebra the question often repeated was, “What is the root of the equation?” In plane geometry the students were required to prove every statement. All in all, mathematics searches the unknown. Frequently the students realized that they knew ess than anticipated. This called for greater effort on the part of each good student. Of course, all of this dutiful study will be well rewarded in the futwre as Meadowbrook High graduates excel in selected fields of endeavor. Mrs. Fulghum shows Gretchen Cobb the use of a slide rule,
