Mathematics QP Trigonometry Demands Accurate Measurements. Aside from giving the students a strong background in mathematics, this depart- ment is trying to cultivate habits of neat- ness and accuracy and teach an appreci- ation of the power of mathematics and its applications in the world today. With the war looming larger each day, mathematics is assuming a more import- ant role in world affairs. With the sudden influx of factories and the enlargement of the armed forces has come an increased demand for trained workers in both these fields of endeavor. A knowledge of mathematics is neces- sary in almost all walks of life, and the Springfield High School mathematics de- partment is doing its part to supply this knowledge to all who seek it. The display case, acquired last year and supplied with the best work of stu- dents, past and present, has been a center of interest all year. Twenty-one Ni W..

English The English Departments objective is to teach each of its 1,718 students to Write, listen, observe, and speak as effectively as his mentality permits. This requires com- plete, up-to-date equipment, and under Miss Graharrfs direction many additions were made this year. All Eng- lish hooks were renovated, and six sets ot hooks were added to the departrnent's library. The balcony extend- ing across both gyms was equipped with 286 shelves to house English books, pamphlets, and magazines. Twenty student illustrations of works of great Ameri- can authors Will enlighten tuture English courses. An important curricular addition is a senior composi- tion elective emphasizing correct and effective expression through the Writing ot radio skits, stories, long papers, and essays for contest purposes.
