M A knowledge of mathematics is necessary in every aspect of life. This is especially true today when every- thing is computer oriented. The Math- ematics Department does an excellent job providing this knowledge. The curriculum is formulated to supply students with the mathematics they need for success in life after gradua- tion. General mathematics is offered I on the junior high level followed by algebra in the freshman year. College bound students require a more thorough knowledge of mathe- matics, and the department offers courses on higher levels to prepare them toward this end. Plane geometry is taught in the tenth grade. This is supplemented with trigonometry in the junior year and mathematics 12 in the senior year. In addition, mathematics serves another purpose: it teaches students to think logically and use reason to solve problems in all areas of life. athematics

Science Major changes were made in the science curriculum this past year which involved the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The life sciences were taught in the seventh grade, This course was an introduction to biology. The eighth grad- ers embarked on an accelerated program of earth science. Selected students from this program took the earth science regents examination at the end of the year. They will continue the new program with the physical sciences in the freshman year. The physical sciences serve as an introduction to chemistry and physics. Students who did not take the regents exam will repeat earth science next year. This new curriculum will make the transition from the junior high science program to the senior high curriculum more effective. It provides a better pre- paration for the more advanced sciences of biology, chemistry, and physics. Biology, offered in the tenth grade, is the study ofthe origin, reproduction, and structure of plant and animal life. Chemistry is the study of the characteris- tics of elements and simple substances, the changes that take place when they combine to form new substances, and the laws that govern their combination and behavior under various circumstances. It is offered in the junior year. Physics is offered in the senior year. This course deals with matter and energy Physics students study the mechanics of heat, light, sound, and electricity.

English The English Department strives to help students under- stand literature as being the interpretation of social values and universal experiences. Teachers and students work to- gether to see literature as a commentary on life which de- scribes what men feel and know about themselves. Students work with the various elements of English to assist them in analyzing and criticizing the themes, trends, and techniques V which authors use in their work. This approach enables each student to see how the communication of universal ideas is accomplished. Each step in our life is a place for a moment. Authors attempt to translate this feeling into literature. They use literature to express their feelings and theories about life. English strives to help students understand and appreciate the message that different authors are trying to get across. English teachers want their students to see literature as some- thing enjoyable and worthwhile, not just as another assign- ment that has to be done. They hope that through the read- ing of prose and poetry students can see each moment in life as beautiful as the author saw it. Toward this end, a new program was initiated in the seventh grade. In this program, students were required to take two English courses. One dealt with grammar, public speaking, and composition while the other taught literature, spelling, and vocabulary.
