Fincher MATHEMATICS Surveying, laying out of baseball diamonds, and a touch of calculus as a prepa- ration for more advanced study comprise some of the practical Work of the mathema- tics department. Original designing done by students makes an artistic contribution. By means of various theorems and problems, useful calculations are made in clever designs. The decidedly practical application seen throughout the course lestihes to the value of the work done. MODERN LANGUAGES AND LATIN Because of the practical use of the Spanish language on the coast, Spanish classes boast the largest enrollment among modern languages classes in Polyg large numbers of students also study French and German. Latin, always attractive to students because of its practical value, has taken on new interest this year because of the varied activities in celebration of the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Virgil.
