The field of mathematics is said to be the base of all science. The point is logical, because looking back, it can be remembered that arithmetic begins in the very early grades and then continues up through high school with algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. The value of mathematics is a topic that can ' t be argued. First year math is of use in every day life. Algebra and geometry are required subjects to enter many colleges. Trigonometry and higher forms of algebra and geometry are useful for students who plan to enter a technical field. Mathematics is the base for such sciences as chemistry and physics. The nine teachers in North High ' s mathe- matics department are well-trained and experienced. FIGURE HEADS — Left: Mr. Herbert Drmkwater and Mr. Fred McDonald pause during a day of eternal figuring.

Language Broadens Knowledge The North High foreign language depart- ment is one of the premier promoters of understanding our world neighbors. While studying a foreign language, the students acquire priceless information about the his- tory and customs of the people. This depart- ment has done everything possible to make the course pleasant as well as enlightening. Efforts have been made to provide mater- ial, other than the textbook, that will show students the way of life of the other peoples. During Brotherhood Week the foreign language department had an exhibition of products from foreign countries. To better an understanding of our Mexican neighbors.

With opportunities for young scientists such ? as the Westinghouse Talent Search to en- courage them, it is little wonder that students are interested in this newly popular subject. For freshmen there is general science, biology for sophomores, chemistry and physics for juniors and seniors — a scientific curricula for every year of high school! There is also a complete course in agriculture. Also a field of science but a different aspect of it, that of preparing young women for careers as housewives and mothers, con- tinues to climb in popularity.
