SCIENCE DEPARTMENT -Nature in Her Visible Forms Speaks a Various Language. MR. CHARLES W. RUTSCHKY, JR. OF THE many sided nature of the human being--there is one phase to which Science has a special appeal. The pragmatic side of living occupies first place. A study of the natural phenomenon reveals the practical value of effects, whose fountain head is experience. The immensity of the universe elicits wonder- ment and questioning on the part of its inhabitants. From a small arc of that great circle, those questions seek answers. The relation of man to his place in Nature seeks refining. What is the best way of life? Where are the answers? Science be- lieves, it can at least point the way.

AS SHOWN by a recent nation-wide survey conducted by Fortune Magazine, f 33i4'l 22? of the students who were questioned selected mathematics as their favorite subject. Our American youth prefer to have an adequate supply of mathe- matical knowledge in preparing for future lifeg whether it be the army, the navy, collegiate or community life. Mathematics is rated as The Father of Sciences and is probably the greatest of them. Students are interested in it because they like to experiment with num- bers, enjoy Working mathematical puzzles, and amuse themselves with geometrical figures. A great appreciation of the various things that surround us is obtainable through mathematical research or study. Many problems have been pro- posed which have not yet been solved. Money and prestige await the person who finds a solution to these problems. We students today are fortunate because this is the time when great advancements are being made in creative mathematics. Therefore. NWEIRE ALL-our FOR MATH. How ABOUT You? 4 MR. T. H. GRIM

HX ft wg. N, , l . 1 ' 'lf FOR MANY YEARS our shop f ' is . . ' jf program has been assldiously l -- training draftsmen, electricians, V, machinists and wood workers for X industrial trades. At present the 4 machine shop capacity has been more than doubled in order to help train people for the war effort. In fact the demand for assistants to X Uncle Sam's war effort has been so Af, great that we have also been train- Q IVIR, FRED E, HOFFEDITZ ing Bill Penn's daughters for in- , dustrial Work in various categories. The peaches and cream complexions and lily white hands of these diligent girls are now smeared with the grease of Industry. The Mabels and Gerties who are doing a man-sized job in our industrial factories are truly representative of the smiling, 1' ambitious American spirit which has become exclusively patriotic! fl' 1 First Row Cleft to rigl-ntl: Mr. Strayer, Mr. Weidner, Mr. LeCates, Mr. McGary, Mr. Seville.
