Blathetnatics though it be the language of sei- ' H N .s ' enee. ts of great importanee in non-st-ienufie fields. as well as in eyeryday liying. If one learns to reason logically in mathematics. these patterns of logieal thought fan be earried over into other fields. Blathe- maties at .fXlameda High is well taught and brings out the praetieal side, as well as the tlieoretiral side of the sub-ieet. For those who are outstanding in mathematies. there is a pilot ntath course called Honors Math. whieh carries the students from yery' adyaneed algebra subjects through analytic geome- try' and ealeulus. This new math program under the direction of the Bfathematies department head has proyed sueeessful and will be continued: all in all the math program at Alameda High looks yery bright. The ability to think logieally and to apply knowl- 3 edge to praetit-al problems is neyer better taught than in the seienee Class. In this age of rapidly ad- vancing ideas we ran be thankful for a fine science department that stresses this ability in all its courses. Now that seienee departments all oyer the nation are being appraised in terms of their ability to tearh. our department ean proceed in good eonseienee. knowing that it gives the very' finest in seienee edu- eation. From the study' of the first prineiples of gen- eral seienee to the rules of eleetrieity and eleetronies in physics, students are constantly given the ehal- lenge to be Curious about and to inquire into the world around them. Students. although they may not enter some Held of teehnology requiring seienee, will hnd that their training will be of immense value to them through- out their lives. Plant stem structure proves to be a fascinaring sulaiec! for these biology students. mg?-if Km, 'f' U 52
