As the English Deportment introduced us to and set us to using the priceless spectrum of our own language, the quality of our canvas became finer. We spent four years learning new words, using correct idioms and grammar, writing compositions, and reading the best literature of both the past and the present. Public Speaking taught us how to paint vivid word pictures; Journalism gave further opportunity for self expression. Our Library offered a wealth of material. The glow from these experiences will always illumine our lives.

Our aroused in- terest in the folkways of the Spaniards, Romans, French and Germans was stimu- lated by the frequent showing of films and slides.

To help us, our Mathematics Department provided us with an equation for success to be balanced with precise and logical thinking. Everyday Math and Algebra supplied the background for stating the problem correctly. Plane and Solid Geometry allowed us to picture the given facts and develop them through deductive reasoning. The chain of thought was com- pleted and a conclusion was reached through Trigonometry. Then, from experience gained in Math Analysis classes, we were able to derive a general formula for our problem.
