MA THEMA TICS These complicated-looking examples are everyday occurrences in Mrs. Setzer's classes of Algebra II. General math students aren't too sur- prised by their course in mathematics. Freshmen are lost in a World of equations and formulas when for the first time they confront algebra. Sophomores are awed by the endless pos- tulates and theorems they face in geometry. Juniors brave an even more complex form of mathematics, Algebra II. Business arithmetic and bookkeeping keep students busy balancing figures. Seniors are astounded by what they don't know when they reach advanced math. In today's scientific and technical World, it is imperative that everyone have an un- derstanding of mathematical principles and the steps of logical thinking. L.H.S. students have the opportunity to gain a sound basis in this essential field. 22

SOCIAL STUDIES You have marched into battle with Alexander the Great. You have listened to Lincoln at Gettys- burg. You have questioned with Socrates in the busy market place of Athens. You have climbed the mountains of Tibet, braved the jungles of the Congo, and cringed at the poverty of north- east Brazil. You have sat in Congress and seen democracy at work. You have probed the needs and hopes of society and each individual. Yes, the student of social studies at Lenoir High School has had many new experiences and has found answers to many of his questions. Yet to know facts is only to scratch the surface. Only as one digs deeper does he reach the core of social studies and pass from knowledge to under- standing. 24
