Mr. Arthur explains an alge- ney to Philip Jansen and another student, braic formula to Nick Romano and Phyllis Cruzen . . . To prepare students for such vocations as engineering, medicine, architecture, and other branches of science and re- search, and to give ci cultural background in one of the most ancient of man's studies, is the primary purpose ot the mathematics department. Facilities for a tour year course in mathematics is available to the student. Lee E. Arthur, head of the department, is director of the school's guidance serv- ice.

'N JCl'fTldlW nun ipanbh Through the study of foreign lan- guages one obtains a more thorough understanding of his own language. Since every country has contributed to civilization something of great value in literature, science, music, or art, the study of a language presents the student with a wide cultural background. ln each of the three languages offered- Latin, Spanish, and German-the student is given a reading knowledge and is taught the principles upon which the language is based. The lives and cus- toms of the people, to whom the tongue is native, are also studied. Mary A. Moore, head of the depart- ment, received her B.A. at Penn College and her M.A. at Columbia University, She has done further research at the University of Chicago. Besides teaching ,pw AH? MOORE FRAZIER l-llNE Latin, Miss Moore sponsors Pro Merito, and is co-sponsor of the Usher Club. Marie l-line teaches Latin and Spanish, and offers a course in Social Science. She received her B.A. and M,A. at the University of Washington. Miss Hine has done further work at Washington and at Columbia University. ln addition to her teaching duties, Miss Hine sponsors the Spanish Club and is chairman of the Assembly Program Committee.
