f the Future J 1 , s Q, ai ii Q ,.-, fix? W fi . , cs, Sc1ence 'T ' ' Sputnik has sparked a nationwide interest in science. Suddenly there is a widespread concern about the quality and quanity of science being taught in our country's schools. Are our young people being ottered enough science courses, and are enough students taking advantage of what is offered? Here at Waukesha, however, this is no new and sudden thing. For many years the tield of science has attracted a large percentage of the student body. Biology, chemistry and physics tascinate many students especially when com- bined with any or all ot the various mathematics courses which are available. The progress made during this International Geophysical Year has even been discussed in the social studies classes. This is a history-making era in which we are presently living. As some of our fellow classmates graduate and enter the field of science we hope that they may be the people behind the scientific progress made within this century.

As you know this would be virtually impossible Only with a knowledge In the field of mathematics can these things be accomplished Today the call is out for scientists scientists and more scientists As we all must realize math ns also the basis for science If we are to get these scientists there will have to be more mathematicians and thats where we come in The genius in the mathematical minds of our generation may help to better serve the world or help destroy It Only we can determine which nt will be and whatever we will contlrbute to the universe IS our decision to make WHO SAYS STUDENTS dont like math? Bob Davies and Penny Wnlbur seem happy as they receive assistance from Miss Bray on an algebra problem that was a but too difficult 0 ' ' O . at I , . I I , K .
