IATHIIATICS , The mathematics courses being offered are algebra and geometry. The first year course in algebra is required, while geometry is an elective. Both courses deal with the use of formulas. Engineers, mechanics, nurses, accountants, druggists, doctors, and electricians need a knowledge of formulas in their professions. Accuracy in skills and clear thinking are use- ful in every vocation. Every day we use either the analytical or synthetic reasoning studied :Ln mathematics. SCIENCE 'Students in high school are expected to solve problems, think, and grow, not merely verify, draw, answer, pass, and get credit. Science is a vocatiax. In this modern world it is the scientist who builds our bridges, lights our homes, furnishes us with automobiles, in short, regulates most of our waking activities, and :lf we do not pursue science to the extent of making a phase of it a vocatim, we at least need a sound founda- tion :Ln science in order to successfully oper- ate the thousands of gadgets we use in our everyday life. In our laboratories we also attempt to point the way to a more wholesome use of lei- sure. We have four or five hours of every one of our days for leisure-time activities. With s knowledge of and an interest in science these need not be idle, wasted hours. The following courses were offered this year: pkqsics, senior science, general science, and biology. le have appreciated the opportu- nity to work in a well- equipped laboratory. The useful side of science has been stressed both in laboratory planning, and :ln numerous field trips,espec:lally by the biology class. Jaw! Senior Society- On September 24, 1937, everyone enjoyed a party sponsored by the senior class. The party was given to arouse school spirit. Dancing and various games entertained us. When the cider and doughnuts were no more, the party was brought to a close by group-singing. The seniors presented three one-act plays this fall instead of the usual three-act play. The finished productions, The Dummy , 'Safety- Pins First , and 'The Pampered Darling , and a short skit, The Gonsarn'd Pig , were submitted to the public on November 3 and I., 1937. While looking over the cast, one notices that all of the seniors were represented. The seniors presented the play, 'The Rustic Roneo', on lax-dx 30 and April 1, 1933. The pleyproved tobeahugesuccess sinceitwu unlike our usual plays,and everyone enjoyed the singing parts. The Rustic Romeo' is an old play, but memynotice thattheolderplays are being produced and filmed with greater success than the new plays. Reverend Howard F. Gebhart of the First Presbyterian Church, llaumee, Ohio, delivered the Baccalaureate SBTIIIOD, W 22, DY. Ray Wood, Division of Scholarship, Department of Education, addressed the class, lay 26, 1938. Commencement week bids the seniors farewell to lonclova. ' Junior Events- On November 23, 1931 a dence was sponsored by the junior class in the school gmnasium. The inspiring ardenchanting music was furnished by 'The Sunshine Five. The crowd enjoyed both round and square dancing 7 and from the looks of things the student body needs a few lessons in square dancing. Or do you suppose they were too sm' to display their knowledge of the art? The junior class entertained the members of the senior class on the evening of llay ll.. Their guests entered the Um, which was decorated to represent a ship,by the gangplank. A captain and his shipmates greeted them. The sea atmosphere was accomplished by the use of flags, life boats Qmske -believej, and life preservers. Deck chairs were scattered a- round the room. Sounds of low, vibrating fog horns greatly :Increased the nautical atmos- phere. Stewards and stewardesses, members chosen from the sophomore class, were dressed in white slacks. A novel sea atmosphere, an efficiently served meal, and the well planned program, all combined to make it this year's outstanding event. Sophomore-ieties- The sophomore class held a weiner roast on October 2, 1937, with the llaumee River in the background. The roast was held in the Fort Meigs Shelter House. The class enjoyed their roast, there was plenty of food and the fun was increased by the presence of llisses Hall and Woman and Messrs. Warnock and Schaller. A new event in llonclova history occurred when the Tri-School Plays were presented. Whitehouse, Waterville, and lonclova gave Father Plans the Wedd:lng , 'Dinner for Six' and A llad Breakfast , respectively. These one- act comedies were given to large audiences at llonclova on April 20, Whitehouse, April 21, and Waterville, April 22, The sophomore class was chosen to cast and to represent lonclova in this meet.

Qu! v. -, Freshman Varieties- The Freshman class brought forth as their contribution to the Social News the notice of their weiner roast which was held on October 6, 1937, at Side Cut Park. Everyone enjoyed them- selves to the fullest extent as is always the case when an energetic class and a roast are combined. General Social News- Bingo, play Bingo, folks, step right this way and win one of tlfemost mag-nif-icent prizes ever given away' was one of the many chants heard at the Carnival on October 27, 1937. Two shows were brought to the school under the direction of Mr. Herbert. The grade school children presented a playlet. Three attractive junior girls acted as waitresses at the junior refreshment booth. In the upper hall there was dancing under the guidance of Miss Windle and Miss Rohde. The Carnival Queen Contest was won by Betty Pratt. The gym was a scene of greet enjoyment and cheer with the colorful balloons displayed at the various booths. So another joyous evening was brought to a close with the crowning of the queen and the awarding of the senior clock prizes. A Pancake Supper was given on December l, 1937, by the basketball girls in un endeavor to pay for their new suits. Pancakes, sausage, and coffee was the menu. The Annual Pancake Eating Contest was held.and John Tavernier, the former champ, broke his last year's record by eating forty pancakes. We wish to express our sympathy 'Il IQ' f':7 ' ' 'FW ' '? 7I'T ' 1 lW U V ll F to John since it is doubtful if he enjoyed his chocolates, the prize. Still the chocolates might have served a good purpose-satisfying his hunger. On February 9, 1938, a Welfare Dance was sponsored by the school and the other social organizations which are interested in the wel- fare of the community. All Monclova answered the call to help their fellow citizens and the proceeds went a long way in the furnishing of glasses for the deserving. A broadchsting orchestra, 'The Smith's Tennesseansl, furnishgd to an enormous crowd the music for both round and square dancing. Many attractive and useful door prizes were given away. The Guitar Club meets three times a week. The purpose of the club is to give those who play a small band in which they may share with others their interests. The hand plays for various entertainments and furnishes the music for the high school plays. Its members are Helen Tanner, Alice Payne, Dorothy Strayer, Dorothy Wilden Barbara Woods Doris Terwilliger, Helen Zwyer, Junior Williamson, Myr n Kampher, Rosie Kowalski, with Miss Hall the sponsor.
