ART Contributing greatly to the eliectiveness oi the musical numbers of the PAGEANT is the Work ot the stagecratt class in making scenery. ln cooperation with the band, these able artists have created gods oi Norse mythology and emblems oi lmperial Rus sia to add the beauty oi color to the beauty ot sound at various concerts. This year the class in commercial art helped many movements oi the PAGEANT. The members ot this class designed signs tor the billboard at the corner oi First avenue and Washington boulevard publicizing Proviso activitiesp among other projects, they illustrated the club bulletin board and con structed signs and paintings tor many departments, especially in the Proviso on Parade pageant at the dedication of the tieldhouse. The keynote ot the art department, like that ot the music depart ment, is service to the school. Miss Wilhelmina Marm, chairman oi the art def partment, traveled to Mexico last summer. Miss Beatrice Bonine studied at Columbia university. MUSIC ' The music organizations ot Proviso contribute color, rhythm, and beauty to the PAGEANT through- out the year, specializing in service to the student body and to the community. Any student in Proviso may enroll in some music class, depending on his musical ability, his preparation, and his purpose. Music has long been recognized as a strong socialf izing agency. The aims of the music department are to give the students an opportunity to participate in vocal and instrumental music, to hear and develop appreciaf tion ot the best in music, to provide an opportunity for emotional expression and development, to train students technically in the art ot producing music, and to provide entertainment and inspiration through programs and concerts in assemblies and in the community. The realization oi these aims is brought about through the Work ot such organizations as the choir and choral groups, directed by R. Lee Gsburn, chairman oi the music department: the band, di- rected by I. lrving Tallmadgep the orchestra, directed by Wallace Nelson, and the classes in general music. MUSIC R.

Law MATHEMATICS The mathematics department of Proviso encour- ages students to discover mathematical truths, to apply theories and find related facts, and to develop intellectual curiosity. General mathematics was introduced this year for students uncertain regarding the value of mathe- matics in their intended work. I-I. L. Rider gave to the course the results of his experience in industrial work. This course does not exhaust the subject or replace the other mathematics coursesp it tends to encourage students with mathematical ability, and to help those without it to understand to some ex- tent the principles of mathematics involved in prac- tical life. Iuniors at Proviso have a choice in their second semester of mathematics between solid geometry and an additional semester of advanced algebra. To aid in teaching solid geometry to students who have difficulty in visualizing three-dimensional space relations, H. G. Monilaw and F. W. Baer worked out devices illustrating the theorems to be studied. If a student can meet entrance requirements with- out his fourth year mathematics course, Proviso's course in trigonometry and college algebra gives him five hours of advanced standing at the Uni- versity of Illinois and at other schools where Pro- viso's mathematics department is known. In col- leges unfamiliar with mathematics preparation at Proviso, it has happened that students have done so well in preliminary examinations that they were given credit for freshman mathematics before the tests were graded or even completed. U. C. Foster received his M.S. degree at North- western university last summer. For the last two years Miss Martha Hildebrandt, chairman of the mathematics department, has been president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. At various times throughout the year she has spoken to groups of teachers at state and local conventions and at universities, including the Universities of Illinois, Iowa, and Columbia. VERNON R.

Freshmen beginning the study of science with the course in general science, sophomores studying botany or Zoology, and juniors and seniors studying chemistry, physics, or geology, learn the use of these instruments and stress the practical side of the work as well as the formulas and laws of theory. The teachers must keep the PAGEANT moving ac- cording to schedule in this department by showing the would-be Newtons and Pasteurs how to look through a microscope without closing the other eye, by taking the students on field trips, and, in general, teaching them something of the world and the things in it. Field trips are conducted into the near-by forest preserves, through great industrial plants, and to .scientific exhibitions. Last summer C. W. Bills worked on mosquito abatement and was highly praised for his intensive research into the lives and habits of mosquitoes. Harvey F. Iohnson and O. A. Bolt made tours of the West, visiting many cities and national parks. H. P. McConnell received his M. S. degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois, and L. W. Remley studied at the University of Iowa, where he plans to take his doctor of philosophy degree next summer. V. G. Catlin, head of the department, studied at Northwestern during the vacation. Mr. Catlin is sometimes hard pressed to keep up with the demand for his Dermo- line, a liquid to cure skin diseases caused by fungus growths which he gives to all sufferers from such diseases. In the space occupied at present by the east gym, classrooms are to be built. One of these rooms will be a biology room and storeroom for the science department. The room is to have eight In W, 1-HND5 B. S., Kansas State Teachers' College tables and will accommodate thirty-two pupils. A- B., Egflhgm College A. M., Columbia University Alden Greene, V. C.
