and the complexity of higher mathematics. W T K' r i lil Standing: Hund, Seated: Morgan, Corson, Baumler. Tapping chalk and grinding pencil sharpeners were familiar sounds to students who avidly pursued the teachings of Euclid and Pythagonas. The usual pattern is Freshman Elementary Algebra, Sophomore Plane and Coordinate Geometry, Junior Math ll, and a Senior choice of one-half unit courses of Math l2A, l2B, or Experimental Math which includes modern concepts and their use in analytical Geometry. Two groups, however, did not conform to this pattern. Sophomores who passed Elementary Algebra in eighth grade and Geometry in ninth grade took Math ll and Juniors who completed Intermediate Algebra as Sophomores took Math llA and l2A combined and plan to take Experimental Math next year. Elementary Algebra is basic to all higher mathematics. Hen- nings, Miller. Math ll is an integrated course of Intermediate Algebra and Trigonometry. Seated: Muttioli. Standing: Lillie. MATHEMATICS Math l2A includes more ad- vanced and abstract thinking in the field of algebra, Harman, Rodkey. Geometry students studied plane geometric figures, Seated: Pe- quignot.

We discover our relationship to world events 1.-sstiwi.-..,.s.t . 7 Y Seated: Dorshelmer. Standing: Filipink, Horton, McClellan, Abbott, Wells, Thorpe. Social is defined as of human society . Social Studies, therefore, is the study of human societies, from the Egyptians in Sophomore World History, through the Junior's early American History, to the study of our present-day world by Seniors in both American History and optional courses in Economics and International Relations. Current events, the history of tomorrow, is studied at all three levels. Usage of the lecture hall by all grades has made it possible to cover the material in greater depth, an advantage to both teacher and student. Our success- ful Advanced Placement Program was again offered to Juniors. Advanced Placement Social Stud- ies students delved far into American History.

A common Knowledge ol scientific principles Markham, Whitney, Horman. Few areas of human knowledge have experienced the transformations and modifications characteristic of all facets of science. To compensate for these changes, our science department strove to acquaint the student with the latest available knowledge in the fields of general science, biology, chemistry and physics. The volume of present-day knowledge has necessitated the addition of new courses to the curriculum to fur- ther enlighten the science-oriented student. For them, advanced chemistry and microbiology have been offered to supplement the fundamental chemistry and biology courses in the hope that these subiects will better equip our students for the rigors of college curricula. fi fi ii fffli, ' 3 ' , -M ,, ,ik . ,W,u..
