LIBRARY Reference Laboratory Supplies Books, Books, Books ALWAYS READY TO AID Checking out a book for senior Laurie Adams is Mrs. Lalor. Libraries are usually self-explanatory and usually all the same, row upon row of books. But we proudly boast of ours as something special. Considered by many to be the most beautiful room of the entire school, it is both an efficient library and an ultra-modern reading room. Its purpose is to provide everything from cook books to encyclo- pedias. Mrs. Lalor is always on hand to help with reference material or to dig out magazines with the aid of that ever-helpful big green book, The Reafleris Guide to Periodic Literature. After one has found just the right book comes the real joy of settling into a plush red leather chair. But with it is the task of trying to ignore those tantalizing footstools.

It's the dead silence that Mrs. Lalor maintains in there. A

MATHEMATICS 3y-I 4 l6Z-Sl -x20 DIVISION AND DIVERSION Leaming plus digression characterizes Mr. Gorkin. IF . . . THEN . . .D Geometric principles are discussed by Mr. Wiseman. THAT ILLUSIVE TERM Puzzled, popular Miss Fox stands accused before grinning class. As industry cries for engineers and mathematicians, more and more emphasis is being put on math in high school. Tenally High has met this demand by expanding its curriculum to include a series of rigorous courses from Algebra I to an introduction to calculus and probability. In Algebra I students continually learn the value of x, as it appears from time to time inadistance, ratio, and mix- ture problems.. Here are taught the basic fundamentals of algebraic relationships, useful' throughout life, but especially in Algebra II. If Plane Geometry follows ,Algebra I, then . . . Popular geometry teacher Mr. Wiseman claims that he is very definitely teaching Euclid's geometry which is 2,000 years old. The only difference is in some of his teaching methods which are not 2,000 years old. For the college-bound mathemati- . g f cian, Tenally has supplemented B. P .

SCIENCE Tomorrow's Technicians Trained at THS ANALYTICAL QUESTION . . . ANALYTICAL BALANCE Mr. Baecht and Annie Stark anticipate a serendipity. ,GC . . F 1 .4 , A WEICHTY PROBLEM Visual Aids, such as weights, are used by Mr. Tew. . DEGREES DORIS E. KIEVIT B.A., Montclair HENRY TEW ,. B.S., Guilford M.A., Columbia WARREN E. BAECHT B.S., M.Ed., North Carolina TITRATION SIMPLIFIED Miss Kievit's endeavors are well proved by Kay Fields Starting with biological functions and prin- ciples, progressing to physical laws and forces and Winding up with chemical analysis and properties, the scientifically inclined at THS have access to three fascinating, fact-filled years of explanation. Biology, the Sophomore course, is roughly divided into two parts-plants aid animals. The study of plants includes structure, functions and the mystery of chlorophyll, the substance which somehow combines with sunlight to give plants their green color. Lab projects consist of peering through microscopes at fungus, algae, spiragyra, etc. Forages to the woods also ac- company plant studies. Most memorable in the animal kingdom unit is the dissection of for- maldehyde-soaked worms, frogs and even an occasional cat. For the more squeamish, the study of the human is safer and more interesting, at least until the entire class tests samples of its own blood. Ending the year is an introduction to enzymes and glands. Included in his stimulating Physics lectures are Mr. Tew's famous experiments, often resem- bling magic shows fthe disappearing gold leafl and occasionally resembling comic routines fthe explosion of a manometer, spraying the classroom with water like a veritable, geyserj. Physics, a more technical and theoretical course than bi- ology requires a good math background and a practical mind. Matter and energy, electricity, accelerated motion and Work, solids, liquids and
