Eleventh year math is for the more adven- turous, offering an opportunity to demonstrate against discriniinants and rotate on an axis of symmetry. Intermediate's followers develop complex fractions, vary directly in understand- ing and inversely in mistakes, and claim all math irrational. The way is nearly open. For twelfth year mathematicians, 2 and 2 do not necessarily make 4, peq, parallel lines can meet, and all the angles of a triangle do not have to equal 180 degrees. WIICII the cries of 'lblasphcmy die away misconceptions are cleared up and new vistas opened. Modern math stretches the mind and the stars are ours. x - y -l- dt : s oo Math courses minus delusions plus work and teaching equal infinite possible success. Happy climbing! sk.

AVEC UN UN ET UN DEUX, French Ill's prepare to sing their way through their lesson. FRENCH '4Bonjour, ma Socurf' and with these words we enter not only a new class but a new world, that of ancient and modern France. Our immediate goal is to become a linguist, our dis- tant desire is perfection. First, however, we must struggle through pages of gales idioms, con- quer column upon column of ala graminairefi Then, just as we be- come enlightened, along comes that well-known exception. Next, we journey over the French countryside by means of sight trans- lations. Along the way we make many friends including the merry Dejarnacs and the misunderstood orphan, Alain Charpentier. Finally, we are kept busy with ales dictees et les comprehensions auralesr' during which We either diligently rack our brains trying to recall that sound, or laugh at the comical ending We canit translate. We complete our work by studiously peppering our papers with ales accents, believing in the philosophy that too many are better than none at all. Wlicn our French studies are com- pleted despile all our grumbling and complaining, we may justly admit, '4C'etait tres excellent.

THE SEMINAR OF LEARNING? No, only Martin Mooney, Kenneth Bruno, Susan Yax, Joseph Mulderig, and Janet Berkel considering possibilities tor this month's essay topic. HISTORY To whom much is given' much is expected. In our world of change hanging perilously close to nuclear annihilation it is necessary to be aware that we are the few of whom much is expected. Realizing that there are those of a godless materialistic philosophy who would take our heritage from us, we must take steps to safe- guard our precious peace and prosperity. Combating our adversaries means possessing an awareness of their world and our own, of the eventful past and the events of the present. This awareness is history, a science that enables one to act without being an armchair orator. Four years of proper instruction are needed before we can take up our place as tomorrow's citizens. As freshmen we learn the essential facts about our earth-its peoples, customs, and climates. Advancing sophomores are given a searching look at the world at large. lnstructed in the History Shows Us a Past Rich A MILESTONE T0 FREEDOM is exemplified in West Germany as shown by Sister Margaret of Cortona to sophomores Elizabeth Piller, William Sinram, Kathleen Kelley, Kathryn Felton and Frank Kraemer. if Mimziment to Free om fart sf ii sp QI 1' N7 iflir ,SPHIIID Ilnl Mis?
