The Social Studies Department offers courses not only in the basic periods ol history but also in unique areas such as International Relations. Several classes are high- lighted by the preparation ol programs for the Junior Town Meeting radio show. while discussion ol' current events adds color to the study ol lactual names and dates. These extra activities provided lor by social studies teachers ollei students enjoyable study material and a vivid insight into the lield ol' history. The lascinating study of the human mind, which has long held the tsmsy of scholars, is ollered in psychology classes. The course deals with human behavior and adaptation to environment.

'Qw- I' e. Ks LX 1 Q I Perplexing Problem . . . Bruce Loveless hides his head in dismay at an Algebra IV problem while Mrs. Josephine Nichols pauses to help. World of numbers Recognizing the importance. of exact calculations in our complex life, most apprentice statisticians complete at least two years of math. The Math Department, teach- ing everything from basic arithmetic to integral calculus, is prepared to give each student as much math as he wishes to take. Beginning mathematicians learn the principles of algebraic operations in Algebra I and II. With this sound elementary knowledge, students are able to solve nrore difficult equations and verbal problems. In plane geometry the properties of points and lines in one plane are proven. By using the theorems stated, geometricians solve problems having to do with area and proportion. lnquisitive students may elect Solid Ge- ometry, which deals with figures lying in many planes and having three possible dimensions. Prospective businessmen learn the methods and prin- ciples ol? mathematics used in business by taking business math. This course concerns the practical application of :rrithemelical rules. lafith an understanding of algebra and geometry, non- scientifically inclined students are well prepared to solve every day mathematical problems. Also, students who want to extend their knowledge in science and mathe- matics are prepared to do so. Proof Positive . . . Owen lfair explains the correct geometric proof to jackie Kilgore so that she may see how to improve herself in the art of proofs which are of daily importance in her geometry.
