Students who show above average ability in history are put in the accelerated pro- gram to allow faster progress and closer analysis of world history and governments. ANCIENT-MEDIEVAL HISTORY is an elective course designed to provide those students who plan to attend college with a more complete background in the history of man from his beginning to the end of the sixteenth century. International Relations is an elective course offered to Senior students who are interested in increasing their understanding of world affairs and relationships of various countries to one another. World History, a required subject for all Sophomores, is a general course in world history, with attention given to the historical factors that influence man's de- velopment. United States History and passage of the Constitution test are requirements of the .lun- ior year. This course reviews history from the early explora- tion and colonization eras of the North American continent to the present. Seniors must study Civics-Psychology. This course reviews the format and functions of United States government in preparation for adult civic re- sponsibilities, in addition to pro- viding the students with a gen- eral background in the principles of psychology-sociology.

Pep Commission lo, W 1 Mathematics a af al mathematics -WM 7 yy ew 4, . IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD where the study of Mathematics is a more impor- tant subiect than even before, Arcadia's curriculum has become increasingly more comprehen- sive. Courses offered include Algebra I and II, Plane and Solid Geometry, and Trigonom- etry, as well as a complete accelerated program in these courses. Refresher and General Maths are also offered for study. During the past year, students who have completed Algebra I and both Plane and Solid Geom- etry concurrently while still in Junior High will advance to Accelerated Algebra II at the Sophomore level. When they reach the Senior level, these stu- dents will be able to take Math- ematics Analysis, which includes Trigonometry and an Introduc- tion to Calculus. Also, there is planned a year's course for a study of more comprehensive Algebra. Algebra I includes the funda- mental mathematical concepts through the quadratic equations in the first year. After success- fully completing Algebra I, stu- dents may take Plane Geometry. This course includes the study of points, lines, and areas of a single plane through deductive reasoning, and the relationships among them. It also includes a 20 basic introduction to Analytical Geometry. Algebra II is a con- tinuation of Algebra I including quadratic functions, logarithms the binominal theorem, deter- minants, progressions, probabil- ity, mathematical induction, and inequality. Solid Geometry and Introduction to Analytic Geom- etry is a one-semester course with the first half devoted to Solid Geometry and the second half to introductory topics in Analytic Geometry. Trigonometry is also a one-semester course consisting of studies of various solutions of triangles and the study of the analytical aspects ofthe various trigonometic func- tions. Students must pass their previous mathematics courses with a grade of at least C to advance to the next mathe- matics level. General Math may be taken by any student. This course covers the content of practical mathematics and is an intro- duction to algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Refresher Math is a review of the fundamental operations of arithmetic. It is :lesigned for Seniors who have not satisfied the requirements of the mathematics test taken in the Junior year. The student must pass the course, if taken, to be able to graduate. WARREN I.
