Scientific Interest Encouraged Smelly experiments, names of bones, spilled water from ripple tanks, disected animals, DNA molecules, and stand- ardized science tests will always be among the numerous memories of science students. North classes in biology, chemistry, and physics are or- ganized and equipped, through team experiments, individual study, and modern apparatus, to provide an increased knowl- edge of the sciences and to stimulate further interest in science as a vocation. Chemistry students doing an experiment in qualitative analysis of lead, mercury, and silver.

Obtain parametric equations for a hypercycloid of four cusps. These are two samples of the problems which were solved by stu- dents taking math courses in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, college math, and probability. Besides the regular math classes, extra instruction was offered this year in a slide rule class and a computer club. HARRY MORTENSEN Grandview College, A. A. U. of Minnesota, B.S., M A.

Keeping actual records of transactions and accounts for bookkeeping, tak- ing dictation in shorthand, learning to take classroom notes in notehand, and receiving actual experience in salesmanship procedures provide each individ- ual student with memorable experiences. At the same time other business courses in Commercial math, law, and geography provide the student with a broader background in economics and industry. —22—
