MATH IS A NECESSITY IN OUR MODERN AGE The mathematics courses at Washburn were conducted on three different, but connected levels. Sophomores gained thor- ough knowledge of plane and solid geometry. Courses offered to juniors included advanced algebra and trigonometry. Many seniors studied college math, a course which takes up the intricacies of analytical geometry and trigonometry. This course was used by many college-minded students, who wished to further advance their knowledge of math. ln a new program to be initiated soon, the math department will be expanded for future develop- ment. Much credit can be given to our math faculty for Wash- burn's consistently fine per- formance in the National Math lloyd Alwin James Cosgrove Burton George Miss Palma Mark Miss Helen Minty Stanley Person Contest.
