MORRELL MISS COUSINS Mathematics Department Without stopping to consider, the average high school student may think that he is being troubled with something new when he worries over an especially difficult proposition in geometry or a catchy algebra problem. Perhaps he would be surprised to learn that the subject is nothing new at all but is really over three million years old. Yet that is a true statement, for written records have been found in Egypt showing that the people of that country had a wide knowledge of mathinematics, even as early as the third tnillen-uim B. C. Ever since that time it has been increasing in importance, if such is possible, until to-day there are few people who realize its vast importance in the progress of our civilization. All our mode; n day machinery and conveniences are indirect results of the study of mathematics. It is interesting to note also that while we could not have mathemates, on any large scale, without written English, at the same time we could not have written English without mathematics. For written English is dependent upon chemistry for its life, and chemistry is dependent upon mathematics for its birth. Many students in Sharon High are taking a course in mathematics, and we feel sure that if the thoroughness of the instruction has anything to do with it, we shall some day sooner or later produce a second Pythagoras or an Einstein.

Little do most of us realize that we to-day. in our newspapers, our books, our motion pictures, and our news-reels, are storing up the account of our lives for those who will live a thousand years from now. A history student in Sharon High has the advantage of a well-planned course and well-trained teachers. The course is arranged with regard to the chronological order of history and the development of the student’s mind, the more complex parts of history being left for the older student. The freshman is given the opportunity, through a half year of vocational civics, to choose an occupation and to shape his high school education toward that choice. A half year of Ancient and Medieval history gives the freshman a background for further study. As a sophomore he watches, in Modern European history, the rise of democratic governments from the despotic kingdoms. The junior traces the developments of his own great republic from thirteen weak colonies. And finally the senior, through Problems of Democracy, learns to live in accordance with the laws of his countrv and humanitv. nnan □□□□ □□□□ □□□□ □nan □□□□ □□□□ □□□□ □□□□ □□□□ □□□□ □□□□ □nan nnnn nnnn nnan nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnnnnnnnnncnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnanni □□□□□□□□□□nnnnnnncnnn nanoannaannaaennanana GRETCHEN STEWART Grove City College, A.B.

NEWELL Science Department One of the most interesting departments of our school is the one devoted to the teaching of science. In the study of general science, biology, chemistry and physics, is found much educational entertainment and instruction. General science is a combination of the other sciences, giving an elementary study of biology, chemistry and physics. Since a majority of high school students do not enter college, a course in general science is desirable, and practically mandatory. Biology lends itself thoroughly to the scientific methods and the orderly examination of facts and conclusions based on these facts. It endeavors to place the student in the midst of life, and when given a number of fundamental principles, he can then apply them to problems of life. The aim of chemistry is to show the relation of chemistry to everyday lift without neglecting the prinicples upon which the science is based. Thus the relation of chemistry of water purification, agriculture, paints, and textiles is emphasized. Physics deals with sound, light, energy, electricty, and mechanics. It is in the field of physics that some of the important advances of science have been made in late years. For this reason the subject is well-fitted for students who enjoy science.
