Don't drop that gram weight, says T. Grant to hir. Toland is explaining the main parts of a tri- S. McVoy, who is weighting sodium chloride. In chemis- try everything must he weighed accurately-or else? Math Aids Cupid Two and two makes four is simple compared to the Pythagorean Theorem, which Miss Bader explains to her geometry classes every year. Gen- eral math, bookkeeping, algebra, geometry, trigo- nometry! It sounds like a lot of math, doesnt it? Well, it certainly has furnished excuses for many a boy who wanted to call that good-looking new girl on the 'phone. Sooner or later her tele- phone would ring and he'd be there wondering what the assignment for tomorrow was to be. Let's call Cupidflvlath. How about it? angular prism to Don Veldman. Solid geometry is a practical subject, especially in these wartime days. Science is Exacting Oxygen must have an atomic weight of sixteen, because if it didn't, the atomic theory would go all to smash, thought one poor student who hadn't studied his chemistry enough. How many girls do their studying when they work on ex- periments with good-looking boys? This can also apply to physics when taken by members of the feminine sex. Oh, so that's where my appendix is! is one of the remarks made in physiology. Where's Casablanca? Geography classes paid particular attention to the centers of war interest Lenore Bader john H.

Latin, Guidance French, English English English English Variety Adds Enjoyment Give me liberty or give me death I Thirty-seven times this rang out as Miss Smith's pupils recited Patrick Henry. They thought it fun to learn things actually said by the founders of the United States. Dramatics, another branch of English, is full of excitement, especially when pupils give impersona- tions of their classmates. Fifteen Legend editors found themselves running around in a dither of pictures and write-ups. They owe a debt of grati- tude to Miss Tenhaaf and Miss Baloyan whose English classes had discussions on The American Way of Life. Oh, for a Magic Carpet! Parlez-vous francais? - The French students have an enjoyable time giving original plays in French. And for more fun than a picnic4that's rightga puppet show in French. Don't be surprised if you've never heard a Latin student talking Huently in this language. Although they don't talk, they do sing Adeste Fidelis and Silens Noir in Latin. Let's take a trip to Mexico, or why not South America? The Spanish students think this would be exciting for they have talked to a real Span- iard, tasted Mexican food, and played Spanish games. A typical American English class. Or should we say an Ottawa English class? Anyway these students appear to he enjoying the study of Shakespeare's As You Like lt. Evidently Miss Lewis has them well trained.

Clothing Mechanical Stenography, Drawing Typing The Girls Take Over Clink, clink, clunk, goes the printing press. Everything from tickets to Board of Education papers are turned out in the print shop. Besides developing self-confidence within themselves and a system of doing things, the boys that take woodworking find it a thrill to make desks and other pieces of furniture. Even though the boys may not like to admit it, the girls seem to be adept at me- chanical drawing, an important subject in the field of architecture and engineering. Homemakers No hard feelings as the girls in the Personal Regimen classes give and take criticisms, and do it gladly. And debating over which dress to select is never a problem to a girl who has had clothing, for she learns what to look for in each garment. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Could this be the reason for so many girls taking foods? Many girls we are told can boil only water without burning it before taking this subject. Clicking Ty pevvriters Let's take a letter for transcription. These words are heard everyday in the advanced stenography class. Besides learning how to run a dictaphone and ediphone the class practices regular office procedures. Anyone who chanced to be wandering around on the third floor heard the clicking of keys and the sound of music. Imagine typing to music! Anyway, that's the way the beginners pick up rhythm and speed. 16
