Expression through art can augment the pupil's imaginative and dextrous faculties. One could learn the fundamentals of painting by drawings made with pen and ink. Further progress in art was made through the use of oil crayons and creations of pastels and paper mosaics. Musical enioyrnent was attained through the sym- phonette. This year, for the hrst time, the orchestra was a curriculum of the school. Compositions by the composers of past and present were presented by the orchestra for listening pleasure. A A newly formed glee club under the direction of a new choirmaster made its debut this year. To add variety, the glee club subjoined their voices to the sounds of the band. Fluency, confidence, and improved expression in speech and writing were procurred by taking ad- vantage of the various contests offered, such as those sponsored by the American Legion and the National Poetry Association. With this curriculum available, St. .loseph's stu- dents were provided with an outline for any of their cultural talents. STRETCHING HER HEIGHT, Gail Quinlan reaches for paper in the art storeroom.

Math's revered age and its fundamental importance makes it deservedly the Queen of the Sciences. Putting first things first, scientifically speaking, St. Joseph's Math Department gears itself to the student, giving him as many numbers, figures, and symbols as he can absorb. Especially ta- lented students take advanced, college-preparatory courses. From registration until graduation, St. Joseph's stu- dents are exposed to mathematical symbols that grow in complexity like an inverted pyramid. First there's algebra and the student's way is equated through polynomials and functions. The relationship of lines becomes familiar in geometry and allied subjects. Trigo- nometry and analytics bring more work involving tri- angles and solids. With this background, the St. Joseph's student can apply his knowledge of pure mathematics to everyday problems.
