With a great demand for mathema- ticians in all branches oi the service, the enroll- ment for these subjects has doubled and trebled. Now more than hali the school enrollment is tak- ing one or more mathematic courses. With the help of the students this department maintains one of the school's most interesting show cases. A student is not eligible for a grade of B or above unless he has completed at least one major or two minor projects each semester. From these projects, which range from elemen- tary graphs to illustrated field projects in trigo- nometry, the best are chosen to be displayed. MJ-X.: Univers ty of Col- oradoy Colurnb Univer sit .

This ruling has doubled the size of the gym classes and has also created a class which meets at 8:15 in the morning. The instructors have devised exercises to develop strength, stamina, and endurance and to promote bodily coordination. The gym classes are designed to develop the desires and techniques of being well in the students and to make of them happy, active, cooperative human beings able to stand the strains and stresses of present day living. The regular classes go in for more com- petitive sports to develop team play, but the 8:15 gym classes concentrate on exercises tor body health. One absence is allowed in each term. Absences exceeding one must be made up. A special sixth period gym class Was organized for all boys participating in corn- petitive sports such as basketball, football, and track. This class meets every day in- stead oi the usual every-other-day gym classes and has as its main purpose to keep the school athletes in condition the Whole year round.

Music SOPHOMORE CHORUS CLASS DIRECTED BY MR. BENEDICT The music department is more or less a morale builder for the entire student body. Here students can pursue the particular field of music they are best suited for. For those interested in instrumental music, we have the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Sauer, while the boys may try for our band, directed by Mr. Patrick. This, inci- dentally, is the band which adds zip and zest to our football games by its very ap- pearance. Roger I.
