Impossible translations in Latin become easier, the nasal sounds of the French pronunciation become familiar, and the tedious assignments in Spanish begin to shrink. Proudly we ask the time ini Spanish and make casual comments in French to those who share this facility. Our pride in linquistic accomplishment lends enthusiasm to our study. ewmmwy Y MISS EDITH ALLEN B.A., Wake Forest, M.Ed., University of North Carolinag French, Englishg .lunior Class Co-Sponsor. ii 1 ,J i MRS.

The study of mathematics is like climb- ing up a steep and craggy mountaing when once you reach the top, it fully recom- penses your trouble, by opening a fine, clear, and extensive prospectf,-Tryon Edwards. All math students will certainly agree with that! From elementary school through junior high. we lay thefoundation, step by step, for our study of higher mathematics. ln our first classes in algebra, We learn with amazement that letters and numerical figures can be treated much in the same manner. Gradually the doors to the myste- rious realm of algebra are opened to us.
