Advanced Concepts Expands, dds MHS HAS PRIDED herself in offering many different levels of math to suit the demands of the individual students. Chairman Dean Todd and his seven co- horts welcomed Jack Cochran to the Mathematics Department. s 4 An extensive use of both slides and the overhead proiector motivated Chargers to seek a more thorough under- its standing of the subject. Although only one year of math is required for gradua- tion, many students go on to explore al- gebra, geometry and advanced concepts, a course which requires extra work and contains an introduction to trigonometry, calculus and solid geometry. Scholars participated in the state and national math tests in the spring. Mc- Clintock students with the highest rank- ing in these tests were recognized at the school Honors Assembly. CONCENTRATING on trigonometry, Ernest Popple emphasizes the derivation of formulas. About forty Junior and Senior students enrolled in Advanced Concepts.

World Affairs Social Studies Topi CITED AS THE principle obiective of the Social Science Department was the de- velopment of each student's appreciation of his American heritage. Dangerous Parallels, a simulation game designed to involve students in foreign policy developments and decisions, af- forded a challenge by Steven Burk, Amer- ican Problems instructor. Students play- ing the game assumed roles as heads of various countries and endeavored to resolve an international dispute by meet- ing specific obiectives. Under the guidance of William Ruby, de- partment chairman, seven veteran educa- tors offered a variety of subiects ranging from American History and World Ge- ography to electives Economics and Con- temporary Civilization.
