Mathematics Program Challenges Students As a result of the increased emphasis on higher mathematics, a student at Maryville High has the opportunity to complete four units in this Held of learning. The studies, geared to the students' needs, vary from general mathematics to algebra and advanced mathematics. Two years of algebra are offered along with a higher mathematics course which in- cludes some phases of trigonometry, analytical ge- ometry, and calculus. With ever increasing numbers in classes, the instructors have been forced to lessen the amount of personal guidance so necessary in developing correct study methods. Even under the crowded conditions, however, MHS has one of the best high school mathematics departments in the area. MRS. CHARLES BLAGG Eighth, Ninth Grade MRS.
