These consist ol' plane geometry, solid geometry, advanced algebra, plane trigonometry and general mathemat- ics. Plane geometry is designed lor sophomores who wish to increase their algebraic ability and prepare for solid geometry and trigonometry in their senior year. The student benefits greatly in the process ol logical thinking. Solid geometry, an elective lor seniors, requires only one-hall year to complete. It is an absolute pre-requisite for engineering courses. Advanced algebra's main characteristic is learn- ing to solve angular problems together with skill in mechanical manipulation. Another hall'-year course is plane trigonometry. The practical aspect rather than the theoretical is considered largely in this course. Problems directly Zliiiijlillllg each student is the objective ol' general mathematics. Topics covered include installment buying. insuranfe and taxation.

and Build ounder History Foundations History plays a tnajor part in ottr educational eurriculunt. It acquaints us with what is happen- ing in the world today attd what happened in tlte world ol' yesterday. Economies is one ol' the three principal parts covered in the social science course. All seniors were called upon to trace their latnily trees hack at least live generations wltile they studied sociology. Learn- ing the fundamentals of ottr governtnent was also included in this course. All seniors are required to take social sciettce. XVhile studying the dillerent sectiotts, the stttdenls tottred ntany lactories and husiness places in town. .-Xnterican history, the study ol' our country, is required lor all juniors. XX'orld history, the stttdy ol' the pasts ol' other countries, and world allairs are arailahle lor all students who wish to secttre a ntore suhstantial hackgrotuid, ,lunior high students are also given courses tn social science. In this course, they learn to iniprove theniselyes to heconie hetter Anierican citizens. Ninth graders start preparing lor their luture wlten they stttdy a short course on vocations. .Xll eighth grade students also study about our nation's ltistoryf. Antong iuany other things, the school lurnishes sueh newspapers as the Our 'l'itnes, Current Events, Junior Scholastic and 'I-Xiuerican Uh- serrerf' to keep tlte students ol' junior and senior high inlornted on current news happenings in the world.

Ninth grade general science provides back- ground for study in biology, physics and chemistry. Such subjects as light, heat, sottnd and electricity are treated in the course. Although lrogs, worms and dissection do not appeal to some pupils, all sophomores must take a biology course. .-Xs you pass the biology lab, it is not unusual to see students working at microscopes or on a test which requires that they know the ltnulatnentals ol' plant and animal lile. Plant and animal phyla must be memorized and the lile lunc- tions learned thoroughly by sophomores. Learning the laws ol' simple machines and elec- tricity and the uses to which they are Iltll in the modern world are only two ol' the tasks that junior class physicists are trying to complete. 'l'o complete their high school scietut' studies. seniors strive to learn formulas and put them to practical use in ehentislrt lab sessions. Stttdyittg' composition ol matter and the atomic' theory are both an important part ol Chemistry. BRINGING JUNGLE ATMOSPHERE into ihe biology classroom is a 'tropical planf. Miss Johnson, Bonnie Christiansen, Herman Fransen and Donna Draayer are among lhe numerous admirers of +he specimen.
