Surveys OfDWereni Civilizations Mr. Trainer discusses the importance of several key geographic factors in the Vietnamese war with two students from his International Relations class. Through subjects ranging in content from ancient cultures to international problems of to- day, social studies teachers sought to develop in their students an understanding of all peoples. Following instruction in basic history and geo- graphy, students studied life in Pennsylvania, in the United States, and in the World. To the students themselves social studies of- fered many opportunities. Field trips to the county court house and Gettysburg translated theory into reality. In a course in International Relations students analyzed world conditions. In addition to their heavy classroom duties, these teachers showed active interest in many school activities.

Mathematics Curriculum A ccommodates Recognizing the demands of a technical soc- iety, the math department designed courses to meet the requirements of students with diver- gent interests. Subjects varied in content from the basic to the occult. As part of the admini- stration's streamlining program, elementary al- gebra was offered in the eighth grade to permit the expansion of advanced mathematics courses in the upper grades. In addition to basic mathematics, Algebra III, Analytic Geometry, and Calculus gave the college bound a taste of college level Work and an opportunity to waive freshman mathematics in college. For those terminating their formal education in the secondary school, E. H. S. of- fered practical courses in business and general mathematics. Success in accommodating these diverse needs was achieved through the careful co-ordi- nation of material and the co-operation of each department member. MATHEMATICS, Grades 9- 12g ALBERT L.
