Mathematics. Hall. another lormula. Mathematics Remember . . . When you were seventh and eighth graders and how you worried about those decimals and fractions only to tind algebra twice as hard. ln algebra you had those simultaneous equations that had to be graphed and the graphs were always oil just a tiny bil. Then you came to geometry. lt really wouldn'l have been so bad it it werent tor those tormal proots and construction problems. l-low you groaned when your row was sent to the board to do a problem, which was the one you didn't have done. Remember that page ol symbols in the front ot your geometry book that you had to know. Miss Douthart always called them the short- hand ot geometry. Those black-board com- passes ol Miss Doutharts were super, but only she could make them work. Then il you didn't know better you signed ip lor advanced algebra and trigonometry. lt really wasn't too dilticult and you were glad you took it.

You girls remember all those bruises and aching muscles the day after. And it will be a long time before calisthenics won't make you shudder in your shoes, and the little kids screaming and laughing at pump-pump-pull-away won't bring back memories. Remember the tall football scrimmages by the lunior High and hurrying through the snow to the YMCA or dashing through spring puddles to Sunset Park. You girls won't forget those dainty dances as seventh and eighth graders and the moments when you longed to be a freshman so you could play basketball. Memories of leap frog, volley ball tournaments, basket- ball tournaments, kittenball, and soccer will stay with you too. Page 10 Cl..ettD Mrs. Wanda Meggit, Physical Training.

Those times when you were having speed. tests and right in the middle of it a key would stick or the whole thing just wouldn't work. Remember the times you sat all during your free periods trying to catch up on your back work. And how much fun it was to type to music, even if it was sometimes a little confus- ing. ln shorthand when you would be taking dictation from a phonograph it seemed as if it would go faster and faster as you went slower and slower. Recall those weekly budgets where you had to type five letters and envelopes too to be handed in every week on Friday to Miss Stern. fAbovel Mr. George E.
