MATHEMATICS The students in our high school may take four years of mathematics, if they so desire. Freshmen find, offered for them, Algebra I or General Busi- ness, which is a combination of General Mathemat- ics and basic business principles. After mastering Algebra I, students find they may choose geometry, Algebra II, and advanced math to further their math- ematical education. Algebra I deals with the prop- erties of numbers and the substitution of letters for numbers. Geometry deals with lines, angles, and plane figures. It teaches us how to organize our thoughts. Algebra Il takes up where Algebra I left off and becomes more involved. Advanced mathematics offers us a varied pro- gram of different kinds of math such as Trigonometry and Solid Geometry. With such an extensive math offering, our stu- dents are well prepared for college work in mathe- matics and sciences. The solving of complicated equations is a part of Algebra II that challenges the most eager minds. Students find that a discussion

The students at our high school have four challenging courses in science offered to them. General Science is required for all Freshmen, and as its name suggests, it deals in many dif- ferent fields. Biology is compulsory for the Sophomores and offers a broad coverage of the plant and an- imal kingdoms. The Juniors and Seniors may choose either Chemistry or Physics. Chemistry is a science which is very helpful in future re- search and occupations. Students who pursue careers in engineering and related fields find Physics a near necessity. Biology, a second year subject, includes the dissection of frogs and other simple amphibians.
