Miss Evans Chamstey Wherever there’s smoke, there’s sure to be a chem major! Not one, but six scientific lasses have wrestled long and hard with equations, formulae and apparatus. Those three flights in the science building, that seemed to grow steeper every year, have been climbed for the last time, each step stamped with memories . . . the eternal smell of rotten eggs; the organic lab, four hours (two of which were spent cleaning up); the gleaming white desks versus decaying wood from cleaning solution; and that wonderful haven for confused chemists, the smoking lounge, where goodies were always at hand. Bubbling test tubes, impossible problems, lab-worn notebooks are only half the story. The tireless patience and understanding of the chem department has prepared each girl for a future which, met with knowledge, confidence and an ability to think scientifically, will enable her to work with an open mind, ever ready to accept new ideas in a changing world.

Mrs. Geiringer on Sandra Elaine Seppala Page twenty Miss O’ Neill, Mr. Garabedian Lion es The mere mention of advanced algebra, trigonometry, calculus or spherical geometry is apt to produce the same effect upon those ignorant in this field as the financial page in the New York Times upon the untrained economist. But it is in these subjects that the mathematics major revels. Through this curriculum she has mastered concepts which were formulated centuries ago, and will build con- stantly upon what she has learned. She is now ready to use this know- ledge in solving the problems which will confront her throughout life. From her mathematics training she is able to think precisely, reason clearly, and possess an open mind toward the world. Eager for mental challenge, this major will persevere until the problem has been solved. wa é AS cA ( Cornelia Neff Washburn
