Three, four—shut the door; Five, ox—pick up sticks . . . If you keep on counting and computing the many million combinations of numbers, you may qualify for enrollment in classes in higher algebra ami solid geometry. A mastery of math is the key which unlocks many of the mysteries of the universe. You iiijv not Ik an Einstein and evolve a theory of relativity, but if you sharpen your wits and solve your math problems, you will find life in an atomic age much less battling than if you stopped your study of numbers with Five, six—pick up sticks. Where once distance was measured in miles as the crow Hies, today's One World is spanned in a few hours, with distance computed not by crows but by mathematicians. Pictured are Tom Stolcc, Dale Johnson, ami Cynthia Mayhcw computing distances between point in our far-flung global world. Why was I born? Why am I living? You want to know : Some of the answers arc to be found in biology experiments: watching the germination ami growth of plant life; the reproduction and growth of animal life. The stuily of biology makes us truly aware of what a log, wide, wonderful world is ours to understand and enjoy. Assembled around a number of the biology department's exhibits arc Nancy Bmiglitoti, Marlys Carlson, Richard Story, I.awrcncc Anderson, ami Chuck Overton.

TIh» World of Mako-lloliovo Its aim is not to instruct but to please, wrote Somerset Maugham of the Drama, a purpose which Henry's drama department happily fulfills. Every student with a streak of ham in him, whether an inch or a mile wide, may learn to walk and talk and to create a new character in the best dramatic tradition.

Rehearsing for ''Three's a Crowd, one of several one-act play prut I turd by the drama das this year, arc Delore Wassom, Carol Amundsen, Dick Stacy, Margie Burnett, Kenny Bohn, and Betty Solcy. Giving a gal a lace to remember is the work of the make-up artist. Behind the footlights, mere prcttincss blurs into nonentity. Accentuate the positive is the slogan of the make-up man here placed by Donna Shobc at work on Sharon Willard’s pretty face while Marly Goga and Jo Anne Videen look on.

Engaged in this uiifjniiltar occupation arc Dawna Mohr, Sally Devins, and Barbara Bannister. 23 Each member of Henry’s drama class has lus fling in ap-pea ring in a role selected to test his powers of creating an illusion in the minds of his audience.

Today's youth comes of age in an era in which science paces all other branches of knowledge in its search for new frontiers. At Henry, physics anil chemistry arc favorite subjects with boys alert to what the future may hold, and with girls whose prime interest is boys. Conducting a physics experiment to determine the reaction of metals to heat arc Tom Abendroth, Vivian Seburg. Mike Conway, and Warren Helmcr. Conducting a chemistry experiment in which water is separated into elements by means of an electric current arc Bob Christenson. Bernice Obinger, Dick Ernst, ami Sally Devins. 25
