From general math to Mechanical Drawing, F.T.S. presents a course of study suitable to each student’s particular needs and interests in its math department. The need of math knowl- edge in everyday situations has prompted the math teachers to emphasize the practical aspects and uses of this subject area in its instruction. To meet the continually increasing uses of math and changing methods of instruction, the math department is fortunate to have available the best texts for this purpose. To meet the required two units of math for graduation, varied math courses are offered. General math provides an opportunity to gain a knowledge of the basics of mathematics and a good foundation in this subject. College bound stu- dents prepare themselves through courses in al- gebra, geometry, and tbe combined one year course of trigonometry and mathematical an- alysis. Introduced into the math department this year was calculus. This course is open to students who have completed the study of al- gebra, geometry, and trigonometry and mathe- matical analysis before their senior year and desire more advanced work in math. Mechanical drawing provides an introduction to ensjineering for seniors with a special interest in that area of study in math.

Miology Studies Drosophila Activities of the science department are continually brought to the attention of the student body. Whether it be by the sophomores excited by their first dis- section of a frog in biology, juniors and seniors in- trigued by the analysis of an unknown in chemistry, or seniors engrossed in advanced biology by the dissection of cats, students are constantly kept up-to-date on the learning processes used in the science courses offered at F.T.S. Besides providing for a more interesting course, the laboratory work used so frequently in the science department enables the students to learn by applying and observing facts taught in the classroom. The result is a very great interest in science. With the promising career opportunities in science, great emphasis has been placed on a good science de- partment. Though biology is required of sophomores, there is no other required course in science. Juniors and seniors choose from advanced physical science, chem- istry, physics, and advanced biology. This year, the advanced biology class supplemented its study of heredi- ty by studying the Drosophila or fruit fly. The science department of FTS efficiently carries out its duties of giving the student a good foundation in science and stimulating the student’s interest for further scientific study. 36 Chemistry students seek the help of .Mr. Soles concerning an exercise on molecular weight.
