r Scale models aid .1 r. A ygaard ' s solid geometry dosses in finding elusive solutions. Ron Stone, Vvrg Duchow and BUI Cook work out a toughie . In a world full of confusion, mathematics presents a field of study in which results arc definite and basic theories stable. Partly for this reason many students take a definite liking to mathematics, even though they may not he highly talented in the subject. That more students of last ear ' s gradu- ating class chose mathematics as an elective major than any other subject is significant of the fad that students have begun to realize the value and need for it. The complexity of modern living requires more engineers, more scientists and more technicians than ever before. Persons planning on entering these lines of work must have a thorough training in mathematics. Courses offered by the mathematics department range from elementary freshman mathematics to algebra 4 and trigonometry on the college level. twenty-four

EBKI Is thai what I look like inside Such is the comment of many a biology student upon being introduced to the science department ' s mannikin. Joan Fenton and Ron Sanders examine human head structures. The science department offers five courses: General science, biology, photography, and chemistry and physics, which are limited to upperclassmen. The biology department is well equipped with edu- cational movies and advocates the use of them. The course gives the Students a chance to Study and experiment with a well-stocked supply of living specimens. The chemistry laboratory is also well equipped for experiments and demonstrations, thus giving the Students a better chance to illustrate what they have learned. One year of science above the ninth year is required for every student in order to graduate and algebra is a prerequisite for chem istry. Anyone planning for college, and especially those entering any field of medicine, engineering or nursing will benefit by the scientific courses. twenty-six
