Patricia Hedblom Eugene Thomas J. Bart Luttrell Howard Shawl The responsibilities of a citizen are manifold and important. He must make decisions and appraise them. Because of the complexities of the economic world, political life, international relationships, and development of transportation and communication, the citizen must think logically. He must recognize and verify assumptions, conclusions, definitions, and have the ability to conduct deductive arguments. If he can accomplish these things, the citizen will be an intelligent member of the community, state, na- tion, and world. Mathematical competence is es- sential to citizenship competence. Algebra provides training in thinking of abstract mathematical relationships by using a new language and symbols. The beginning period in an Algebra course is very crucial because basic skill and know- ledge must be developed. Basic concepts, vocabulary, the nature of proof, and elements of a deductive system are important in understanding the principles of geometry. Math Analysis, a course of higher mathematics, consists of solid geometry and plane trigonometry, as well as work in analytical geometry. Math is Essential in the Preparation of Leaders Mr. Luttrell is showing Herbie Kippenhan, Nurcan Kinalioglu, and Paulette Bergman how to plot a point on a sphere. ' -E ' EYES. Y .

They are merely the mad scientists of Wausau High School, anxious to attempt a new ex- periment or fascinated by an experiment they have just performed. They, however, are harmless, and a light kick in the shins will bring them back to normal. l

L ' I Joan Buck and Dick Roe look on as Mr. Baranowski explains the system of banking. Since the need for competent secretaries and well-trained bookkeepers is growing more acute, the importance of a good business department can not be stressed enough. The students at Wausau Senior High School desiring to study business are very fortunate to have such a wide choice of courses from which to choose. The courses designed for training in business are Typing I, II, and III, Shorthand I, II, III, and Tran- scription, and Bookkeeping I, II, III, and IV. Typing teaches a legible, time-saving means of writing which is practically a required medium of business correspondence. Shorthand is a system of writing English in a shorthand form, using symbols which can be written rapidly and later transcribed ac- curately. Along with these is a combined one-period class in Shorthand IV and Typewriting IV, planned to give intensive drill in dictation and transcription. Bookkeeping presents an understanding of book- keeping principals and business procedure, and the second year of bookkeeping offers opportunity to actually keep books. Along with these courses, classes in Salesman- ship, Business Principles, Commercial Law and Economic Geography are offered for those students interested in getting a complete background in Business.
