and Math Is To Describe the niverse Above: There is a union of science and math as Ted Harris and Ralph Lewis conduct an experiment to determine the amount of expansion of a metal. Below: In an effort to define his universe, the inquiring student may compare the vast- ness of the stars to the infinitly small world of a drop of pond water.

Prior to the high school experience, a student is presented with a quantitative view of the world around him as separate from the qual- itative view. Phenomena of nature are described in science class while the language of science, mathematics, is taught separately. The pre- high school student sees little math in science and no science in math. In high school the student is presented with a new relationship: sci- ence and mathematics are dependent on each other for their principles and laws. The student learns the qualitative property of mathematics in such subjects as algebra and geometry by finding out why a principle and its variants are equally true. In subjects such as earth science, chem- istry, physics, and biology he learns to describe quantitatively the re- actions that occur in a variety of qualitative experiments. The student finally sees a relationship between the bow or why and bow much of an occurance. He comes finally to the realization that he can truthfully and accurately describe portions of his universe. MRS. ELIZABETH KENYON: Conn C., B.A., Algebra II, Math Seminar, Math Department Chairman.

Service. . ., Seq Fuyillment. . . , and ewezrc! . . . , Unite in Business Careers Through two main programs, the Business Department trains as- pirants for successful careers in economics, secretarial work, and cleri- cal work. A college preparatory division encompasses shorthand and typing in adition to regular subjects required for college entrance. A straight business sequence embodies shorthand, transcription, office machines, bookkeeping, business math and ofhce practice. In both sequences students receive intensive training in business skills, and practices. In addition, character traits such as efficiency, neatness, order and service are stressed. Well-trained office workers are indispensible to their employers. They provide the continuity of purpose and con- sistency of service that have made our economic system great. in 5 26 .EQ :if ,,,, , , Left: On Secretary's Day Janie Geer re- ceives the opportunity to practice skill developed in shorthand class as she takes dictation from Mr. Heap. Con- sistency of effort is essential if maximum skill is to be developed. Above: The daily discipline of skill building in of- fice machines is pictured.
