It was Robert Maynard Hutchins, the President of Chicago University, who said, 'iCorrect- ness in thinking may be more direct- ly and impressively taught through mathematics than in any other way. If you have studied mathematics in high school you are able to perceive clearly the truthfulness of this well-worded statement. This curriculum is very instrumental in bringing about the efficient and effective use of your thinking facilities. Bernice Clark Dept. Head With Miss Clark as its head the mathematics de- partment of Riley High School has succeeded in building its program to meet the practical and voca- tional needs of the students. Students who are planning to enter any of the professions which require a college education as a preparation, will find it necessary to have included the Algebra-Geometry sequence in their high school course-a year of each being required by most stand- ard colleges. The alert and capable head of the mathematics department, Miss Clark, has, through her industrious efforts, made mathematics one of the better known divisions here at Riley. Many students graduated from this school have been successful in their par- ticular lield of higher figures. Algebra, taught by Miss Shively, Miss Clark, and Mr. Stech, concerns the formulas, equations, the building and interpretation of graphs. These classes dwell upon the short, concise methods of solving problems. JLd,W.t,-H- . Scene in a Geometry II class. Mathematics The 1941 State Mathematics team. Geometry is intended to increase the student's power of comprehension and reasoning, and to help him appreciate the practical aspects of the subject by applying its principles to the solution of problems in engineering, architecture, and science. This divi- sion of mathematics is taught by Miss Murphy, Miss Kitson, Miss Clark, and Mr. Stech. Miss Clark is in charge of the solid geometry class, which subject goes beyond plain geometry to include a study of figures of space, for example, prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids, and spheres. Plane trigonometry is concerned mainly with the relation of lines in a triangle, and constitutes the basis of the mensuration used in such work as sur- veying, engineering, mechanics, and astronomy. Miss Clark teaches the one class in this study. Miss Borg has charge of a class in junior high school mathematics. Miss Kitson, Miss Murpliy, and Miss Shively are entrusted with the courses in high school arith- metic. This subject is planned to meet the needs of the consumers everyday problems. It is accepted for high school graduation, but it is not accepted for college entrance requirements. Students in commercial arithmetic are ably in- structed by Miss Murphy and Mr. Stech, which sub- Mary A. Kitson Elizabeth Murphy
