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. Oddly shaped figures in geometry courses acquire names, and We learn the Marti, of organizing proofs for geometrical theorems and problems based on these theorems. We become familiar with the Math 1 2 ,,.Xy .

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.

progress of a highly technical society tools of geometry-a compass, geometry ruler, plenty of erasers, and lots of paper. Students of advanced algebra and trig- onometry become familiar with linear equations, rectangular coordinates and graphs, and advanced topics in quadratic equations. The hard work of these ad- vanced students is rewarded when all the separate ideas which are incorporated in math courses seem finally to merge into one continuous pattern. The long hours of study fade and difficult problems are easily solved. For those not interested in theoretical mathematics, Math II, and Business Arith- metic provide study of practical mathe- matics. Every day, in almost every occupa- tion, the principles of practical mathemat- ics are in frequent use-sales personnel, accountants, secretaries, and many others find these principles essential in their Work. ematics W MR.
