are essential to future growth . . . This is the Atomic Age. Now more than ever the demand for outstanding scientists continues to in- crease. Here at Washington science laboratories are well equipped for the finest training in all fields. Students are required to take two years of science but may go on to elect any of the advanced courses such as chemistry, physics, or advanced biology. In addition, our school has one of the largest science libraries in the state. Going hand in hand with science is mathematics. Complicated discoveries and experiments must be accurately formulated by highly trained mathemati- cians. The Math Department at Washington chal- lenges students by offering such courses as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, general math, business arithmetic, and applied math. Like our science world, the field of mathematics is growing, and we must constantly search for new and improved methods to make future work efficient and accurate. ALL SET?
