Q atliemzitics, 11 ecluirement lor tlie uture This civilization of ours is huilt upon mathematics. It is the underlying factor of our everyday life: without it the world could not exist. Science is important also, hut without math it also could not exist. There is not one thing we do that is not associated with math: there is not one thing we touch or see that does not involve math or symmetry. Any student in any school who doesn't take advantage of the courses in math that are oilered in the schools is mising a great part in his education. Mztth does not round off an education, hut it is the hasis of a complete education. To' day, more than ever hefore in the history of man, math is very important, hecause this war is heing fought on the hasis of math. Any young man, or woman, who has a thorough knowledge of arithmetic, algehra, geometry, and trigonometry, has a wonderful chance of progressing far. It is the duty of the youth of today to study math so that they can shorten the war and lengthen the peace, Ahove we see Miss O. Marckworth. seeing how charming smile on her face. At the right, Mr. A. well her students have learned their previous les' Schick sits on his desk, discussing with his class son in plane geometry, In the center is lvlrs. H, a few math formulas. These teachers give us a Vsfalter, putting a prohlem on the hoard. We can firm hasis for our future studies. XVe know we clearly see that math can he pleasant, hy the shall not fail them 21

igam, W L omg ti' The picture on the right depicts Mr. H. lfhler, a teacher of math, viewing the work of one of his classes He is quite proud of the work accomplished hy the young and energetic students who come to his room every day to increase their knowledge of math: for he knows that this knowledge will promote a greater fellowship in the future. ri onometr U Building a foundation for the higher forms of mathematics, are Miss A. Riley and Mr. H. Yung, pictured at the right of the page. Theirs is an important position, for without the hasis of math the stu' dents would he at a total loss when they reach the higher forms of high school math and college math, They are very exact and minute in their teaching hecause math, though not very dillicult, niust he exact to the highest degree. I 340 1 ....f1f L,. In the inset, we see Miss V. Hohcnsack, who teaches the higher forms of high school mathef matics. She not only teaches algehra and trigf ononietry, liut also she unveils the mysteries of flying. through navigation, radio code, and aeronautics.

Directly helow Mr. Blaclchurn, we lind Miss A. Grcensmith demonstrating to her class the details ol- the rotation ol' the earth and its moon. Miss Greensmith teaches hiology, hotany, general science, geology, and astronomy. The lower left hand picture depicts Mr, C. Johnson, examinf ing the model of a snake's skull, which he uses in his classes to demonstrate the hone structure of this type of animal. In addition to teaching zoology, and hiology, he coaches foothall, haskethall, and tennis, In the lower center, Mr. R. Morgan discusses with his class a principle in general science which will later help the students to understand physics and also chemistry. Mr. Morgan also is a coach, instructing the reserve foothall eleven. In the lower right hand corner, Mr. C, Kopp instructs a senior in the details of a vacuum and how a vacuum allects sound, and other types of waves. During the time he has taught at Vsfestern Hills, he has had classes in physics, general science, civics and other suhjects.
