Math Teaches Us fo Think Math teaches students to think. The ability to understand equations and problems may help the students to solve problems through- out their entire lives. The Algebra students manipulate with al- gebraic terms and methods to solve their problems. Two and three dimension figures, or plane and solid Figures are dealt with in the Geometry and Trigonometry classes. At Christmas time, all high school math students were required to either create or construct something useful For the math room, make a poster dealing with math, or study about a famous problem or math- ematician. In the first week of March, the Juniors and Seniors in math took the Nationallvlath Test here at Tecumseh. The seventh grade students made a booklet on graphs and made original geometric designs as did the eighth grade class. 3 ii 494 is 1 23?

History students are taught to understand and appreciate man's past experiences, that is, his mistakes and accomplishments, and to benefit from them. The knowledge ofthese things helps students to adiust to the current social, economic, and governmental p rob I em s that they will face after grad- uation. In the social science classes, students were involved with map making, and the Time Magazine Education program. For the Seniors in Government, a current event notebook, or a term paper was required. The eighth grade class took a trip to see Dwight Eisenhower's home, museum, li- brary, and chapel in Abilene, Kansas.

Science is Learning By Doing For a better understanding of the modern world and of what's going on and why, two years of Science are required. Science is a class to learn to think logically, to judge on the basis of facts rather than on the basis of emotion. Science is a class of learning by doing. The 9th grade Earth Science classes en- ioyed the benefit of 25 new books this year. Biology students kept busy by dissect- ing various animals, and by studyingmicro- biology. Physics students did experiments and then Figured out the formulas For them- selves., The two science rooms are equipped with a variety of glassware, materials necessary for exp e r i m ent s, a centrifuge, vacuum pumps, anatomy models, and acquariums.
