A giant slide rule facilitates learning for Solid Geometry students, Kenneth Blanchard. Donald Achenberg, and Ray- mond Baker. Ferdinand Kertes A.M. Marlene Glaser and Richard Kruppa show Mr. Parnes that they have prepared their home- work well. Mathematics Department As well as being the tool of all other sciences, mathematics is necessary in business and for ordinary activities performed count- less times every day. After acquiring basic number concepts, we learn to apply them to the solution of problems. Foundations are laid for specialization in advanced science and mathematics. By increasing our knowledge of this subject, we are better able to contribute to the progress of the modern age. Deparfmenf Head Adviser, Mafh Analysis, Senior Mathematics clubs Joseph A.

French students, Lois Zetkulic, Jeanne Smal- ley, and Nancy Churko represent PAHS at the annual Language Conference at Rut- gers University. Winifred Jensen A.M. Department Head Dorothy H. Cobb A.B. English Adviser, German Club Language Department Mastery of another language adds variety to the paths we follow. A foundation may first be laid with Latin; or the student may begin directly to think and speak in French, Spanish, or German. As our comprehension progresses, our reading material becomes more advanced until we are able to enjoy the literature of foreign authors, old and new. We live vicar- iously with the people of other countries through movies and slides. An insight into the culture of our world neighbors may avoid obstacles in today’s troubled times. Clare Coult A.M. Adviser, Cercle Francais, Halls of Ivy Vincenxa Esposito A.B. Adviser, El Circulo Espanol W. Earle Gehman A.B. English Adviser, Inter Nos Lance Balint, Joan Pedersen, Gerald Smith, Virginia Boeddinghaus, Joanne Pedersen, and Ronald Johnson supplement their usual classroom activities by viewing slides about early Spanish history.

Business Manager, Periscope, Halls of Ivy Coach, Traclc Gordon Koehler A.B., LL.B. Coach, Tennis Marion Patten B.S. Adviser, Atom Busters Club Patrick J. White M.Ed. Adviser, Physics Club Science Department In our science classes, we begin to compre- hend how man has learned to control the forces of nature. We are introduced to the rudimentary theories of science. Application of the scientific method trains us to think logically, and laboratory experiments allow us to share the thrill of discovery. By carrying out individual projects, we are challenged to delve more deeply into the scientific wonders of the world. Barbara Toth and Gregg Gaynor watch Mr. White demonstrate the physical prin- ciples of parallel forces. Victor Wisner B.S. in Forestry Lana Golub, Lewis Kaden, Charlotte Golub, Valerie Magyar, and Robert Josen admire the biology projects they have made.
