Dvorscholr, M.Ed. Adviser, Biology Club From Adam to Atom! Our four years of scientific study lead us from the simplicity of primitive plant and animal life to the intricacy of advanced physics and chemistry. General Science sketched the funda- mentals of the world about us. Biology increased our scientific experience by adding the rudiments of Botany and Zoology to our knowledge, while Physics etched in the material world. Chemistry took us from al (aluminum) to zn (zinc) in an unforgettable study of the elements. Thus, under the able instruction of Mr. Tapley and his excellent staff, the mysteries of the world in which we live have unfolded on our canvas. 15 Leo W. Klein, A.B.

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.

Our Business Department offered a program that assured success to students interested in the field of business. These artists learned the newest methods of business transactions in well equipped class- rooms. Under actual office conditions they were taught how to type, to take shorthand, to keep books, to manipulate modern machines and even to understand the Stock Exchange. Sylvia G. Silverman B.S.Ed.
