N16 Parkers Solve ysteries of ath More than ever before, mathematics is funda- mental to survival in an atomic age. Teachers and students alike at Highland Park High School are meeting this challenge head-on with a well-rounded math program. Among the classes Parkers may take are Prac- tical Math, Commercial Math, Algebra, Geometry, and for the higher math students, Trigonometry and Advanced Algebra. All students are required to take two years of -QQ M MR. CARL SIGNOR patiently waits for Mary Lester and Walter Railey to finish their problems. 18 math-one in the ninth grade. Parkers who have not fulfilled the math requirements by their senior year may take Business and Industrial Math. Offerings in mathematics are tailored to fit in- dividual needs, with emphasis on developing fully the mathematical potential of each student. The department excels in teaching the many phases of math, the principles of measurement, and the rela- tions of quantities and functions.

'TJPN xx HWILL IT EXPLODE? asks Sue Hennagin of Janice Gedikian, Beverly Aaron, and Mr. David Bogie, Chemistry I instructor. Scientific Parkers Science students at HP are busier than ever this year. New classes and equipment are two good rea- sons for this. Physiology and Geology offered something new and different for good science students. Physiology, the study of the human body, was complex and offered a good experience for Parkers who wished to continue their education in college. Geology is the study of rocks and their formation, and many students were interested in this class. In the standard curriculum were Biology, Chem- istry, Science, Physics, and Radiation Science. Many exciting things happen in Biology, where a ferocious animal like a mouse or frog may slip out of his closely-guarded cage into a classroom of frightened CHEMISTRY STUDENTS use this new analytical balance to chart weights and balances. ANDREW LIPSEY, Clifford Bates, Donna Hicks, Donald Wells, June Chaffin, and Elaine Grogan are exploring the constellations of the world as part of their early science program. 20
