MATHEMATICS The mathematics department has as its objective, the education and training of those students who are preparing to become engineers, scientists, or math teachers. Such courses as functional math, refresher arithmetic. Algebra I and II, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and business math provide these students with sound techniques for the independent solution of problems. Mathematics is important also to those who are going to pursue careers not allied to math, for mathematics today involves more than just the memorization of rules, tables, and formulas. It is a valuable aid in the development of disciplined and logical thinking. For the exceptional math student, Greenville High School offers an accelerated program in mathematics. The student in this curriculum receives five years of concentrated study in four years, the fourth year being spent on college-level mathematics. Honors math has been a regular part of the Greenville school system since 1957. Del Duane Allen, B.S. teaches chemistry and physical science received his B.S. at Ferris Institute attended University of Wyoming for 2 years is assisted in his teaching by Mr. Joe Gwiazdowski James Conlon, B.A. teaches commercial math, refresher arithmetic received his B.A. at Grand Rapids Junior College and studied at Michigan State University is new to the Greenville School system this year ENGLISH The English language is a language of richness and power. It is capable of such variety and color of expression that even foreign language scholars admit that English is the strongest and most flexible language spoken. All throughout our history it has been the English-speaking peoples who have contributed the most to science, philosophy, and the art forms. For these reasons, we must strive to preserve and broaden the English idiom. The English department at GHS is cognizant of this and offers the students an excellent program in the fundamentals, as well as the finer points of grammar, literature appreciation, and creative and expository writing. Freshmen and sophomores are required to take a basic English course, while upperclassmen may elect to study English literature. American literature is compulsory for all seniors. 14 Jo Amidon, A.B. teaches English 9 took her A.B. at MacMurray College and her graduate work at the University of Michigan taught 1 year in Beloit, Wisconsin and 4 years in Grosse Point is the new freshmen adviser Marjorie Highfield, A.B., M.A. teaches English 10 received her A.B. from Hope College and her M.A. from the University of Michigan has taught at GHS for 10 years
