Scientists Needed ' for World of Tomorrow Davie plays around with Mr. Willis's electrolysis apparat body will always be useful in any profession. A nation's comfort depends a great deal on the geologist, and industries would be helpless without him. For it is the geologist, who, by studying the history and structure of the earth can help develop a na- tion's natural resources. The photography class of C. S. H. S. this year has proved itself a successful undertaking, as is shown by the hundreds of splendid pictures they took for the Terror Trail and other groups in the school. SCIE CE Willet R. Playing an important part in the nation's wel- fare, both in peace and in war, are two branches of Science-physics and chemistry. Vitally necessary to a country's defense are the products that are concocted in the test tubes and flasks found in a high school lab. Biology and physiology are two sciences known for their practical use.

Education ls Incomplete Without Languages LANGUAGE ABOVE-Senoritas Bassett and Cave conferring at the boar RIGHT-Freeman, Ada F.: Dessaint, Edna: lolly, Ioanna lungerich, Maynard A. Languages-- for many students a medium through which they can study the customs of foreign people. Since over fifty percent of the English language is derived from Latin, many pupils have found it profitable to take several years of Latin. The essential need for Pan-American unity has brought about an increasing demand for Spanish. Helping to make the Spanish course exceptional are the copies of the Selecciones de Readers Digest. The second year French class voted against subscribing to a French news- paper, as they were too expensive. They've been singing French songs all year and intend to record one and present it to the language department. Many pupils planning to enter some science have found German an asset to their profession. Whatever language a student chooses, he knows that by studying it he can better understand that nation's people and ideals. w- ,wt . Iohnny and Cicero in a brain-session. 13 'I

Knowledge of Malhemalics ls Viral in Defense The mathematics department of C. S. H. S. encompasses the primary of all types of mathematics very thoroughly, starting with first year of ninth grade algebra, and junior algebra, and includ- ing plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. No research scientist or structural designer could accomplish anything of value, nor could any bridge, airplane, boat, or any other engineering project be constructed Without the aid of the higher forms of math. The calculation of the trajectory of long-range pro- jectiles and of high-altitude bombs would be mere guesswork, in most cases impossibly so without the aid of mathematics. Even the building of houses would be difficult Without the aid of algebra. A There is also a course in business mathematics, which is a foundation for Knight theorizes on spherical triangles most of the clerical positions in an oHice. This is designed to provide for the mastery of the funda mental operations in arithmetic and their applications to the various problems in business transactions This course is followed by one in bookkeeping, which enables the students to obtain successful positions in the business world.
