The ferocious Giant of the Earth has just escaped and is menacing the lives of all junior English students. Sheriff Hutchins has issued an alarm for all English students to be on the lookout. Con- sidering the number of objectives, we predi- cate that if he is not subjected to captivity immediately, his run-on attack will cause many dangling participles and split infinitives among the student body. A straight A re- ward is being offered! We are broadcasting tonight from the New Trier auditorium where we are anx- iously waiting for the curtain to rise on the last of the four plays given each year by the drama department. This is opening night, ladies and gentlemen, and I believe we will see a full house. The people are coming in steadily and the ushers are busy leading them to their seats. While the audience is looking at its programs, I will tell you something about the drama courses offered here at New Trier. Students may elect courses in Dra- matics, Voice and Diction, Radio Acting and Announcing, Public Speaking, and others. All students may try out for a play whether they are taking courses in dramatics or not. The house lights are now dimming and the play begins.

MATHEMATICS Flash! A letter recently received from Dean B. A. Thresher of Massa- chusetts lnstitute of Technology, Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, says that be- cause of the excellent record made by New Trier High School graduates at the Institute, the committee on admis- sions will waive the usual entrance test requirements for New Trier students who are in the highest fifth of the class, and who are recommended for admis- sion. This progress is due to the ag- gressiveness of Mr. Snyder and his de- partment in maintaining high standards. New Trier students and their parents are realizing more and more the neces- sity of a strong foundation in mathe- matics as preparation for either college or business. Although at New Trier no mathe- matics courses are required for high school graduation, two years of math are advised for all. The freshmen can take General Math or Algebrag the sophomores, Plane Geometry or Gen- eral Math, and the juniors can take third year Algebra. The more advanced courses offered are Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and College Algebra. All of these are one semester courses. Slide rule is offered as a minor the sec- ond semester, and the classes meet once a week. New Trier mathematics students are popular with college and university su- pervisors because of their excellent preparation for college mathematics. Flash! Word has been received that more students are participating in the industrial arts program than ever be- fore. Mr. Biesemeier reports that the boys in the classes are receiving an ex- cellent background for all work per- taining to mechanics. SWAIN UDE WATERS .
