S Wafkemaficd Reasoning - in reference to mathematics, reasoning serves to investigate the conclusions necessary in the elementary concepts of spatial and numerical relations. In order to develop the skills requiring rea- soning, Proviso in 1910 initiated a two-year mathematics course for college preparatory students. By the late 1950's the department of- fered practical courses in mathematics for all students. To promote leisure-time study of this sub- ject, the department sponsored several clubs such as the Pentagram club in 1919 and the Sophomore Math club in 1931. These organi- zations studied other aspects of mathematics than those considered in class and also pub- lished a math newspaper. Today with the increasing importance of mathematics in engineering, science, and teach- ing, the department boasts a staff of eighteen teachers and 2,647 students. Because of their good mathematical background, these students leave school better prepared to meet everyday life situations, as well as the more advanced M 1 ts roblems of mathematics and science that the 1 . . 5 X2--M may encounter in their work. , A' f 'N ' Q- .vi-. s, uf . f. x X y I f , f ', ,-.. , 1 A 4 1 l Q !,f-'yy X ' pf tx lt jf j St af ' , V ,f i 4 tx .

The Rockefellers and Du Ponts have found, and Proviso students will find, these qualities helpful in a successful business career. In aiding the students, the department itself displays this spirit. Thirty years ago, the Com- mercial and Stenographic departments taught a combined total of ten subjects. Since then the department has expanded its program to seventeen courses. Two examples of special value to the student, office practice and voca- tional retailing, offer practical application of the abilities acquired in commercial courses. Since 1942, the Commercial department has sponsored the largest extracurricular organiza- tion in Proviso, the Future Business Leaders '- f g V' of America. Its members participate in activi- ' y. jul 1 ties designed to prepare them for a useful life y in business. Our business world, a fast-moving one, calls 2 for workers who can meet its pace - and the 'X Commercial department will continue to pro- I J duce them. f' . Wg 1 2 I T Tl ff,-E-X V X ,V I i HG!!
