Advanced Courses Varied For Able Math Students As a part of East's program for advanced students, a new mathematics sequence has been introduced over the past two years. The changes, begun last year, concentrated three semesters of plane and solid geometry into two semesters in order to avoid the doubling- up formerly necessary if the complete formal mathematics sequence was to be elected. This year a program was started whereby classes which had taken the special geometry course would continue in Algebra 4, trigonometry and mathematical analysis as well as in a new course dealing in modern algebra. The mathematics department has been organized to educate students of all interests and abilities. The courses range from basic mathematics, which teaches fundamentals of arithmetic, to trigonometry and mathematical analysis for those who are planning to con- tinue mathematics in college. The courses also include a complete sequence in algebra and plane and solid geometry. vs wi--v---v-gg..

'I M0 Intense interest is shown on the faces of these students as they watch Mr Morris Hoffman measure the voltage on a superheterodyne circuit in his Radio 2 class. Science Program Satisfies Student Interests Science is a field which probes into every phase of nature. It is a study which demands intellectual curiosity and an understanding of basic principles on the part of the student. The science department at East has tried to encourage scientific interest and study by offering courses which delve into several fields. The usual sequence includes biology, physics and chemistry, but courses in radio, geology, aeronautics and astronomy are also offered. In biology classes students study the world of nature. During the first semester the students are limited to the world of plants and simple organisms, and in the sec- ond semester they deal with the higher forms of animal life and go into an extensive study of the human body. Physics is a science which deals with physical properties of matter and forms of energy. Laboratory work and classroom dem- onstrations are used to help the student un- derstand the principles of machines, heat, light and sound. At the beginning of the second semester a double-period physics 3 class was introduced for students who wished to probe more deeply into physical principles and to experiment more extensively in the laboratory. Chemistry treats the basic subject of the composition of matter and non-physical changes in matter. Much of the students' un- derstanding in this area comes from labora- tory work and individual experimentation. This laboratory work not only gives the stu- dent the satisfaction of doing something him- self, but also helps him to apply his knowl- edge in a practical situation. Astronomy, aeronautics, geology and radio were offered to supplement the regular sci- ence program for students interested in these more specialized fields.
