Mr. Zajac explains bask method of working any percentage problem. Mathematical training provides us with the mental equipment we must bring not only to the experimental method used in other sciences, but also to the intelligent analysis and solution of the practical problems of every day. Our curriculum offers us courses in business arithmetic, algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. And should a student's yen for exploring the rarer atmosphere of math not be satisfied, Sister Rita Aloysia, advisor of our Math Club will take him aloft but we urgently suggest a space suit. Joseph Puzyn and Rosalie Russo solve a problem in Trig.

SOCIAL SCIENCES Old events have modern meanings . . . Against the backdrop of history many of our current problems prove to be old ones in modern dress.

Thus we prepare for intelligent participation in the affairs of mature citizenry. Joseph Farrell and Mary Jo Staniszewski salute the flag. Mr. Brannau discusses corporations and monopolies in National Problems class.
