Gaining That Confidence The education of the body is equally as important as the education of the mind. As it is impossible to divorce the mind from the body, so one is dependent on the other. A clear mind cannot exist on an unhealthy body. And to promote this desirable balance there is a complete physical education program. There are teams competing in all the major inter-high school sports, football, basketball, baseball, soccer, track, tennis, and golf. In addition to the pure Sport idea, there are activities on the exercise equipment. The aim of the varsity spoAt op poise, confidence, sportsmanship and, perhaps impo nt of all, teamwork. be l r X Lili Mr. Yarnall Miss Rehanek . .,..- . ' Ia V Q. L if f eva.-6.1.

Alexander Dumas, the Elder This is a salute to those who have suffered and sweat- ed over Euclid and Pythagoris, to those who have gaped uncomprehendingly at Descartes and to those who have muttered bewilderedly under their breath about tri- angles, equations, and polyhedrons. To speak in mathematical terms, this subject is para- doxical because of the difficulty of equating the human factor HX' in the formula, W + Ig W: work, I: im- agination, A: ability. A There are in this world those who enjoy mathematics. They have learned here at Northwestern to speak glibly of Kepler and Brahe, of Newton and Fermat and refer, quite casually to Napier's logarithrims, trigonometric functions, to calculus and ad inflnitum. These people live in a realm of not one, not two, but of four dimen- sions, which contain vectors and tensors and scalars . . . They are the scientists who will blaze the path to the future.

I ED ik!! Music For Life The Clee Club Witl1out music life would be a mistake ..... Mr. Ronca gives Paul Pascal a few pointers on the oboe. -...J Friedrich W. Nietzsche Music, one of the most expressive arts, has an immortality that will outlast the painter's canvas or the sculptor's marble. Music is the voice to which all listen, understand, and enjoy. From folk songs to fugues, juke-boxes to Carnegie Hall, music creates beauty wherever it goes. Choose Beethoven or Bach, Dorsey or Good- man . . . there is some music for everyone. Reducing all this to a classroom level is no mean task, and we who are students of music realize the eliorts that permit our exposure to a little of the finer works of the great composers. Quarter notes, clefs, bars, semiquaver . . . all that constitutes the special jargon of the music world are studied, absorbed and put to use in further work. Theory, application and appreciation of fine artists and excellent music are the basis for music classes. From individual singing to group singingg from individual instrumental lessons to participation in band and orchestra rehearsalsg all these opportunities are given to Northwestc-:rn's students.
