UUR FUTURE ENGINEERS o Wheaton I-Iigh's math course takes its students from the simplest equations in algebra through anything the student wants to attempt as far as trigonometry. Mr. Arnold Olsbo gives the wavering freshmen their start along the devious paths of algebra. Miss Miriam Leedle guides them as sophomores the fundamentals of plane geometry. She also teaches the junior class of solid geometry and advanced rigonometry is offered to those venturesome seniors who feel that they have the Page type of mind. Mr. reigns again in this class, giving the final impetus high School days t0 OUT future engifleefs- MR. ARNOLD oisno AND Miss J. MIRIAM 1.tiim.E DUWN BEAT 1 ' Music plays a particularly important role in town as well as school life of Wheaton. The band marches in various parades during the year, and its separate members perform for various clubs. Both the glee club and the band give concerts while the orchestra pro- vides a musical background for such func- tions as the junior play and graduation. The glee club and band go into the contests in the spring where solo, ensemble, and group work is done. Miss Dirks is the guiding light of both the orchestra and the glee club and the finish of her concerts shows the painstaking perfec- tion she demands. Mr. Boyden directs the band with char- acteristic zest which exemplifies itself in the band. MR. RALPH BOYDEN MISS MARGARET DIRKS LEARNED LINGUISTS 0 Latin is DOI a dead language so to speak. At least Latin under Miss Chiles isn't. The first year students get a sound enough founda- tion to enjoy the following years' works including Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. A masterpiece read in the original is, of course, more satisfying than a translation. Spanish is getting to be more and more popular, but it will have to grow quite a bit still to put French out of business. Miss Ras- mussen's pet is book reports. The romance language pupils enjoy reading a different tongue in spite of all their moans and groans. V 'H Miss TILLLQ, s isp 4 C, J.. 'Q J.

The art department makes all of these for the school just for the joy of art and sometimes ten cents. Miss Tillie Houts, a gifted artist herself, really tells them for shows them?J how it should be done. Every now and then a sample display is placed in the main hall and all we poor little doodlers gape with amazement.
