Miss BOYCE Miss VVll,l,l.'XlVlSON MR, SEWAL1, Bliss Cousins Miss LOUTZENHISER Mathematics Department Perhaps the reader may ask what mathematics has to do with cowboys, Even i11 the 111ost remote ranches of the country, matheinatics is a necessity. The surveyor has to have inatheniatics 111 laying out the land-the architect 111ust have a knowl- edge ot matheniatics, tor he is responsible for the safety, stability and convenience of the buildings. Matheinatics is essential to a capable builder. The ranch owner could not maintain the ranch without being able to calculate the probable expenses :tml possible profit. So it is all over the world. A man is at a clisaclvantage without a knowledge of some of the various branches of inatlieinaties. In Sharon High School all mathematics is purely elective, except Algebra I, which is requirecl of all Freshmen. The courses which Sharon High offers are: Algebra l, Plane Geometry, and Business Arithmetic, each for one year: Algebra H, Solid Geometry, Alge- bra IH, and Trigonometry, each for one semester. The mathematiczs department is eon- tluctecl by the following faculty: ELLA BOYCE Pennsylvania State College, Algebra I. IRENE VVILLIAMSON A,B., BLA.

Miss G.x1x1BLE Nliss Vt'it,xv Bliss Alumni Bliss Sxlziziziz Kllss Mclliuinz Mit. lhstiv Language Department Hand in hand with education go the three foreign languages: Latin, French, and Spanish. VVhether it he the grand-daddy ol all languages, Lating the nasal, pleasing flow of French: or the colorful, musical speech ol the Spanish peon, each of these languages has its place in ranch life, its invisilmle presence influencing the lives of our cowboys. The bloody campaigns of Caesar have their parallel in the deadly tends of ranchers and cattle thieves. Many times a cowboy on his lonely vigil ol the plains is caught humming a gay French tune. Up from Mexico drift countless lazy, sometimes moody, almost always gay ealnelleros, leaving traces of their visits through Spanish words which have tinally heroine perma- nent parts of VVcstet'n vernacular. The foremen of the ranchers take the student covvhoys into the lives of the early Romans, teach them the diplomatic language of French, and the romantic Spanish. XVhether it he campaigns with Caesar, or correspondence with real French people, each is planned with infinite care. So if you follow your childhood dream of becoming a second liuttalo Bill or jesse james, Jr., or as you follow your chosen vocation in life, do not he astonished to find your good old Latin, French, or Spanish verhs, as the case may be, standing you in good stead with astonishing frequency. Our school offers four years of Latin, with two each of French and Spanish. The following faculty are in charge: El,l'iANUR GAlNIBI,l': VFRNICE SAICGIQR SLB.
