College algebra, trigonometry, analytical geo- metry, and introduction to calculus are the mathematics courses taught by those calculat- ing men of figures: Warren Wetzler, Leon Arnold, and Charles Vergin. These courses are all-important ones for those students planning careers in medicine, engineering, and dentistry.

Chemistry classes learn the fundamental laws and theories of chemistry, the non-metals, and their com- pounds, and the important industrial metals. Dr. Ward, in turn, expounds on the life rela- tionships of plants and animals. Lab periods are devoted to investigation of plant and animal structure.
