Insolvable Problems Solved by Use of Mathematical Arts, Tools If a precise, orderly mind is desired, a student is able to take advantage of one of the many math courses available. Using un¬ knowns, tangents, sines, cosinses, radicals, compasses, or slide rules he finds it possible to solve problems which first appeared to be insolvable. Processes of adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying are reviewed and relearned, sharpening the mind, and opening a treasure-chest of mathematical know-how.

Valences, Odors; Baffle, Choke, Student Scientists When a Rocky student wishes to know more about the world around him, he can turn to the science department and investigate the universe from the simple cell to the atomic molecule. Valences, combustion, genes, stamens, pistils, test tubes, bunsen burners, sulfuric acid, and strange, gagging odors — all combine to confuse, befuddle, amuse, serve, and inform these budding young sci¬ entists. Looking for bocterio ore sophomores Robert Newell ond Donno Nelson. “•1 MB I IV M Mr. McMoster explains to Joe Rowley and Terry Mohr how to start their Physics projects.

It isn ' t necessary to acquire some sort of magical power in order to predict what may occur in the future or to understand that which is occurring in the present. The studying of a social studies course draws aside a curtain and reveals the world of the And on this part . . . past from which an alert pupil can extract a more complete realization of his own world. He is able to learn the workings of the complicated government machin ery and of the seemingly incomprehensible economic system. Social studies helps the student to learn about man and his ways.
