albernalies Develops Mental Abilities. ALL STUDENTS preparing for college entrance are, or have been, enrolled in at least two years of mathematics. Students who do not plan to enter college may enroll in a year of General Math. This course reviews the practical uses of mathematics. Algebra I is re- quired for math and science maiors, as well as admission to most four year col- leges. After completion of Algebra I and Plane Geometry, students may advance to Algebra II, which is a more intense study of the fundamental concepts of Algebra. Students must have received a C grade before advancing to the next subiect area. Plane Geometry may be taken after the completion of Algebra I. This course is concerned with polygons and circles. Trigonometry is a one semester course consisting of the study of the analytical aspects of the various trigonometric functions. The primary obiective is to prepare the student to use Trigonometry as a tool in the study of higher mathe- matics. Students who have completed trigo- nometry move on to Solid and Analyti- cal Geometry. Given during the third quarter, Solid Geometry emphasizes the classifications of the various solids and the determination of their areas and volume. Lastly, Analytical Geometry emphasizes the application of algebraic process to geometric topics. Students of outstanding ability and interest are channeled into the accel- erated math program. Algebra and Geometry are covered in grades 8 and 9. At the tenth grade level students may take Algebra II, advancing to Trig- onometry in the eleventh grade. The senior year for the accelerated class is Math Analysis. It extends to Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, in- troduces Calculus, and also includes Matric Algebra. At the iunior level any student who does not demonstrate ninth grade per- formance on a standardized mathe- matics test is required to enroll for a year of refresher math at the senior level. MRS.

Art l utilizes various media including paint, charcoal, ink, clay, paper, and others. Elements of good design are stressed in the areas of study which are of a comprehensive nature. Second year art students experiment with more difficult materials, work out more advanced design problems, and increase their ability to organize de- signs. Art Ill and IV students work on inde- pendent projects using new media and techniques such as glass mosaics, oil painting, and design, both build upon the second year program by developing the special talents and interests of each student. TO BECOME ACQUAINTED with the field of Commercial Art, students experi- ment in advertising layout, cartooning, color theory, and poster production. They also practice the imaginative use of many styles of lettering and explore the design and production of advertise- ments, as well as record and magazine covers. Basic fundamentals in iewelry work, wood carving, leather, and plastic enameling on copper are offered in Handicrafts l. A prerequisite of Handi- crafts Il is Handicrafts I.
