The value of history is often disputed, but the influences which have affected the present also affect us, and thus, are personally worthy of study. The events studied in American and World History, therefore, provide valuable information for understanding the present state of affairs. Civics shows the student the workings of the American democratic system of government. It gives the student infor- mation he will need in later life, information about his duties as well as his rights asa citizen. It tells him how the govern- ment functions and how it influences him. Sociology teaches the student about the ways and mech- anics of society and the function ofthe individual in society. Economics deals with the workings of our financial sys- tem. The student is informed of the manner in which cost is determined, the use of credit, and the purpose and trans- actions of the stock market. Imaginary situations are en- visioned and dealt with to illustrate the principals taught. V. li 4. ,Q wut X Uptact '-...N Mr. Sefick illustrates his world history lecture by using one of the maps.

The Mathematics Department gives the student a grasp of the precise and logical science of numbers The Gordonite can take four years of mathematics. In his first year, he learns the magic ofthe x and y through algebra. He learns to use mathematics to express general- ities as well as the concrete two plus two equals four. Basic rules that will apply to all branches of math are stressed. Plane geometry is studied in the second year. Points, lines and plane figures are shown to have certain properties. Laws and assumptions are formulated and then proven by the use of logic. Advanced algebra is taken in the third year. As the name of the course implies, the rules learned in the freshman year are expanded and applied to new and various situations. The fourth year course is trigonometry and solid geo- metry or analytic geometry. In trigonometry, the triangle is shown to be an involved but comprehensible subject. Solid geometry extends the knowledge of two dimensional plane geometry to the three-dimensional world of the cube, sphere and cone. Analytic geometry involves a study of geometric figures as represented by algebraic quantities. REV DA VID S.
