We use it not only when we are in our Eng- lish class but wherever we happen to be with other people. We could not enjoy the luxuries of our mod- menu. ern times, such as, television, radio, motion pictures, and many other things without a thorough knowledge of the English language.

nf: WU, JANICE NELSON HOLDS AN A, B degree and teaches Latin and mathematics, She is the activi- ties treasurer, and a member of the Student Affairs Committee, sponsor of the Ra Von Dramatic Club, and sponsor of the Junior ' class. Miss Nelson's expert P guidance helps her algebra class to understand those difficult problems. xxx , 'xx .To Symbols and Sines At the first of the year, all those little symbols and formulas floating around in our heads meant very little to us, but as the year wore on, and our erasers wore out, we began to understand the principles of math set before us by the ancient mathematicians and thoroughly drilled by our competent teachers, Spurred by the Russian launching of the first satel- lite, The Sputnik, math became one of the main stepping-stones in the path to the future. Math may be used to determine the construction of a build-it-yourself space ship, or the operating panel of your own personal robot maid. Today, math has determined the designing of jet airlines, bridges, and machinery, These things were made possible only by those students who once sat in the place we now occupy, This year, to keep up with the pace, a four year math course has ,been offered, This includes algebra, geometry, advanced math, and trigonometry. All of these might make it possible for one of us to be one of the great mathematicians, or scientists of tomorrow, CLAUDE L. ADDINGTON has a B. S. degree and teaches mathematics. This is his first year at Montpelier. He sponsors the Freshman class, Tough problem Ann? Mr. Addington can help you.
