Q OOD mental hygiene and vigorous physical health are the two worthy goals which stimulate the pupils in Trenton High School to participate ac- tively in the program of the health de- partment. This department has done a commendable job in developing fellow- ship through its programs. Those stu- dents who have certified doctorls excuses are excused from more strenuous physi- c al exercises. A ll other students, how- ever, devote fo r t y minutes a day to wi s e, supervised physical activity. Suitable s p o r t s are provided in ac- cordance with the season of the year. During the fall the Leroy Smith girls' classes participate in speedball and hockey. When bad weather forces the girls to remain indoors, basketball, service ball, and swimming are found to be the most popular activities. After the Christ- mas vacation, the girls begin to make preparations for Sports Nite. This affair enables every girl within the school to have an active part in the work of this department. In this yearls exhibition, two thousand girls participated in the three-night demonstration. Boys may try to qualify for the var- sity football and basketball teams. Dur- ing the indoor season they participate chiefly in boxing, wrestling, and basket- ball. Tennis, track, and baseball are spring activities. Since the welfare of the student is of the greatest importance, this department makes every attempt to achieve this end.

To meet such a need, the mathematics de- partment offers two programs, the col- lege preparatory courses and industrial courses. There is enough variety in the courses for the students to select work which is best suited to their abilities, needs, and desires. The sophomores have a choice of first year algebra or plane geometry. A very select group is taught the fundamen- tals of trigonometry. In the junior year the students may take intermediate al- gebra. Pupils in fast moving classes in this subject are taught trigonometry. Sen- iors may enroll in classes in solid geom- etry or trigonometry. In addition to these college prepara- tory classes, there is a large group of stu- dents, most of whom are boys, who fol- low the well-planned series of courses in industrial mathematics through their sophomore, junior, and senior years. These courses are carefully and specifi- cally planned to be of practical assistance to the students in obtaining positions in industry. The value of this type of math- ematics has recently been enhanced by the needs of the na- tional defense. Because of special classes, which cover more than the re- quired courses, many honor students have been able to omit the first-half year of college mathematics. J. Whitney Colliton

The forty-two hundred pupils of Trenton Central High School have had at their disposal the re- sources of nine well-trained, efficient sec- retaries. This staff has won the admira- tion of the entire student body because of its consistent aid and pleasant spirit. They are doing a big task with unusual success. Misses Margaret Cook and Esther Tripp keep attendance and punctuality records of all students. Private secre- taries to the school administrators in- clude Miss Barbara Newton, secretary to Dr. Spencerg Miss Dorothy Ross and Miss Helen Mclntire, secretaries to Vlilliam 0lBrien and Miss Sarah C. Christie, vice-principals, respectively. Miss Bette Menk handles the admin- istrative details in the ofiice of Samuel Eberly, placement director. Miss Lucille Barlow has charge of mimeographing. The central office, which serves as a clearing house for all school activities, has the clerical assistance of Misses Grace Bullock and Katharine Golden- baum, two competent secretaries. In addition to the m a n y responsibili- Grace Bullock ties efficiently han- dled by these secre- taries, the clerical force also served as an educative factor in permitting cer- tain commercial stu- dents to assist them at times in the office.
