W. D. TRULOCK. B. Eo. Mathematici Mathematics Develops Clear Thinking In the field of mathematics Paris High School offers a varied and in- teresting program. Beginning and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, general mathematics, and commercial arithmetic arc all elec- tive. Mr. Trulock teaches courses in advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and general mathematics. In his solid geometry classes, Mr. Trulock has made use of a stereo- graph, a combination of lenses which, when adjusted properly, pre- sents the complicated figures of solid geometry in three dimensions. Mr. Trulock is aided in this de- partment by Miss Steidl, who teaches two classes in commercial arith- metic. Mr. Ariens, physics instructor, also shares the mathematical burden by instructing first-year algebra. By using every-day illustrations the teachers are able to show the practical applications to life. IN STUDY HALL A SOPHOMORE EXAM

All of the would-be secre- taries, bookkeepers, and accountants may begin the study of their chosen vocation as freshmen by taking busi- ness training. Next is a two-year course of shorthand and typing. The first year classes are taught by Miss Steidl and Mr. Cottingham, while the ad- vanced students are taught by Miss Wright. Besides teaching these classes Miss Wright is also the faculty ad- visor for the Arena. A one-year course in bookkeep- ing is taught by Miss Risser, who also teaches two classes of typing. Com- mercial geography is taught by Mr. Albert. The students of P. H. S. are fortunate in having access to such a course of instruction.
