0 Mathematics Department ' etet tttt , rf ,f Math teachers at Edsel Ford strive to show the re- lationship between the math courses offered and at the same time develop the student's mathematical abilities. Edsel Ford High School's mathematics depart- ment offers four semesters of algebra, three sem- esters of geometry, and one semester of trigonometry. These courses are all elective subjects, and follow in succession. In various occupations, higher math is essential, but even if a person is not planning a career in which advanced mathematics is a must. he will tind math helpful. This is because the necessities of everyday life require some mathematical knowledge. Whether a person is a plumber, a sales person, or a housewife, he will find that math is a great aid. f f f 7W f gi A , K 3, , lrry f iQMf!,,,5 , .f,fQ44+fff4, V e . ,rrr ,,' .

EF Nurse, Librarians ,X W 72- mzf' 'Nu 're if 'W 1, ,,,,,, W ,rf 4' Edsel Ford students utilize the facilities of their modern library. Edsel Ford's library has a number of general objectives. To enrich teaching of every subject taught in the school, books and other material are provided to aid in necessary class-room assign- ments. Magazines and records for listening are a few of the recreations which are provided. Proper reading habits and wise use of leisure time are stressed. Definite instruction in the use of books and libraries is taught in order to enable the stu- dents to acquire skill in the handling of materials. Individual needs are met by developing pupils' skills and resourcefulness in their use of books and reference materials. Co-operatively, pupils are introduced to the library as early as possible in order that they may gain a continued education and cultural growth. ,f-f' 413.
