Numbers, letters, signs-to the ordinary lay- men these are mere words, valuable only as part of the English vocabulary. To the mathematician, they are his tools, his means to an end. Bustling through business math, ambling through algebra, jogging through geometry, and 'trekking through trig, the student proves that he is ot staunch character and rigid will, for he continues to press on until he tinds the only answer, the correct one. To further interest in this field the math club was organized. Through its activities and proi- ects it not only provides extra work in advanced mathematics but also presents the lighter, enter- taining side of the subject. Mathematics aids the student in solving any problems since it trains him to look at every situ- ation and survey it in all its aspects before he chooses the quickest, easiest, and best solution. ln daily living he will be confronted with the same problems as others, but he has the advan- tage in being equipped with the necessary methods to obtain an answer. USING PRACTICAL MODELS constructed by students, Edwin Gola points out the per pendicular in the solid geometry problem while Anthony Fersch, Rayrnond Maciaq and William Ullrich qive their undivided attention. - accurate, logical, competent.

History reveals the past and predicts the future. Page 30 WORLD HISTORY RESEARCH is undertaken by lhe freshmen, Margaret Cerny, Joseph Sallco and Katherine Zanetti. History is like a three stage rocket. Taking off in the freshman year it hurtles the student through time and space, through the golden ages and dismal years of the past, to the turbu- lent present, to the threshold of the dazzling future. As the rocket has three stages to provide the power needed to reach its destination, so three years of history give the student the power to guard the good and healthy and ameliorate the evil and diseased in his goal-the world ot the future. The freshman surveys the rise and tall of civil- izations. He watches Rome rise proudly on its seven hills, slowly decay, and finall fall. The junior tights the War for Independence with Johnny Tremain and thrills to see thirteen separate colonies become one united nation.
