Postulates, theorems confuse math student By Patricia Houston The first fevv weeks of geometry were a breeze to me. I learned geometric figures and their parts. One of the figures I studied was the circle with its diameter, chords and radii. Then l proceeded on to the truth tables, induction, deduction and intuition. At this point my head was going around in circles. After the truth tables I went on to proofs, which included theorems, postulates and corollaries. These really posed a problem. Do you use theorem 3-5 or is it 5-3? On the other hand it might be postulate 6 or corollary 4. No one knew for sure, except Sister Mary lVlichaelette. Geometry took a great deal of concentration, l admit, but it vvas the most challenging subject I encountered. Kathleen Shinn, Kathleen Sprunk, Joan Hayes and Mary Knapik concentrate on Math IV functions. Athletic Moderator Sister M. Michaelette teaches math. Algebra I students puzzle over a test on factoring. Freshman Adviser Sister M. Andrae teaches religion, English, and math. Stella Tscholl works a problem with division of radicals. Judy Decke man explains to Patricia Trenshek and Carol Nusbaum how to prove a triangle congruent. Elementary algebra students Deborah Mills and Marcia Travis work with the number line. W u - 'I x...

Class prepares unique party By Kathryn Lanigan De veras divertirse are the only words that describe this unique party. Our class prepared some of the food and joined various committees. Finally, the day came and I was quite excited for this was my first real Spanish party. Arriving at the door, I had to take a pledge that I would speak Spanish during the entire party. The decorations were interesting: red checkered tablecloths with flower center- pieces. The food I saw on the tables was unfamiliar to me. There was fried bananas, Spanish rice, cream puffs and other Spanish foods. Some of the girls dressed in Spanish outfits and their colorful costumes fitted in well with the spirit. After eating, the senoritas dramatized little skits and even had a bullfight. As a finale., we sang Spanish songs. All in all, the evening was quite exciting and I am looking forward to another Spanish party soon. o begin the party entertainmenrJanet Cullum and onstance Cowan entertain with the Mexikzan Hat ani-P A custom of the Spanish fiesta is a pinata. discuss their menu of fried bananas, tortillas and cookies. x . , 'x
