The mathematical sciences of geometry, algebra, and trigonometry are several thousand years old. Yet, the 'problems that intrigued the founders of mathematics still tax the brains of the modern high school students. They must prove the proven, solve the solved, discover the discovered in order to understand and appreciate what the Euclids and Archimedeses of mathematical history did for the world. Every- thing in this world is based on or composed of some form of math. Physics is the bridge between math and science and is made up of both. The student learns about the forces of nature, air and water, light, heat, sound, electricity and the laws of motion, gravity, time, gases and many others. Where math and science shows HOW something is done, Physics tells WHY, Through physics one learns why and how he is able to walk, an apple falls, astar shines, and steam forms. Physics shows the stu- dent how the human race is dependent upon its knowledge of physical laws for its simplest actions and material comforts. Biology is the study of life on this planet. In high school it gives a student an opportunity to study heredity, botany, Zoology, physiology, and ethnology in an interesting and fascinating way. Often the student is inspired to continue his study of these fields even after he has completed high school. Through Chemistry the student learns the make- up of matter in every form. l b 1 , 3 Look at that report card burn!

GARLAND BEAVERS To understand others, one must first understand him- self is the basic theory behind the course in Human Relations, the one social science or general psychology course offered at N.L.R.H.S. An elective for Sophomores, the course begins with an orientation to life in high school, and proceeds into the ways and means of developing good study habits. Of special interest to teen-agers is its field of con- centration on manners and proper etiquette for all occasions, boy-girl relationships, courtship, marriage, and better family relations. From the standpoint of personal and community relation- ships, the course offers studies in driver fitness and attitude, and the effects of alcohol and narcotics. To help the student decide what career he will pursue, there is a study of the various occupations, their advantages and disadvantages, skill and training requirements. And to reach its ultimate aim of helping the student develop a satisfactory philosophy of life, the course also looks into logical thinking and good mental health. Besides the textbook. students have available a great quantity of research material in magazines, newspaper r I IL clippings, and pamphlets by recognized authorities: see a number of selected films, and hear talks by trained professional personnel.
