I guess I'd better call it Arnott's theorem. MA THEMA TICS POSSESSES NOT ONLY TRUTH, BUT SUPREME BEAUTY . . . Russell The operation, symbols and characters of math are common to all men, and, as the expression of technical ideas, they form the universal language of the world. The study of math at Palmyra encompasses a wide field. Regardless of the area the student chooses to explore, the background he receives affords him a broad understanding of many useful mathematical operations. The transactions of our daily lives demand a comprehension of mathematical concepts. General Math I and II, Business Math, and Bookkeeping pro- vide the foundation for conducting these exchanges. More technical, but less concrete in nature, are the courses offered to the students who wish to expand their use of math beyond its everyday appli- cation. Algebra I, and its modern math section for the first year student, acquaints him with the funda- mentals of this odd symbolic arithmetic and pre- pares him for the complex processes of Algebra II and III. Angles, lines, planes, and their relationships are explained in Geometry, while Trigonometry, the algebraic expression of Geometry, combines the principles of both of these subjects. Solid Geometry or Solid, as it is commonly called, fills out the mathematical picture at P.H.S. by adding another dimension to the length and breadth of our math courses. HI don't know. What answer did you get? 26

HSCIENCE IS ORGANIZED KNOWLEDGE. Spencer Science, by definition, is the organization of proven facts into logical systems of knowledge. The Palmyra Science Department offers a survey of organized systems that is both broad in range and deep in intensity. The student's knowledge in all fields, from English to Math, is tested by the demanding requirements of General and Advanced Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Serving to develop in the student an appreciation of science, the General and Advanced Science subjects explore its many facets. Giving brief glances over a Wide spectrum, they present the stu- dent With an insight into this fascinating World. Biology, the study of life and life functions, presents informa- tion of all forms of living things, from the simplest one-celled organism to the triumph of evolution, man himself. Test tubes, gas burners, and water troughs are familiar tools to the Chemistry student in his study of matter in respect to its composition and chemical changes. The transformation of one sub- stance to another is the primary basis for this study. The observation and exploration of matter in natural pheno- mena is the object of the Physics course. Light, sound, heat and many other areas are explored through lectures and experiments. Although, as in any other subject, much of this knowledge will be forgotten, even a superficial understanding of science Well equips the Palmyra student to enter today's increasingly technical world.
