In College Algebra theorems are proven and special fields of mathematics, such as statistics are introduced, explained and explored. Another popular course is trigonometry in which stu- dents leatn many facts about the relationship between lines and angles. Finally ambitious students take Ana- lytics I and Il a course that combines analytic geometry and calculus. These are the subjects that form the seventy-two math classes taught each school day by '1 staff of fifteen mathe- matics teachers. It is therefore easy to see that anyone wishing to advance in any field of mathematics has ample opportunity at Arlington. In fact Arlington is second in the city in number of students earning mathematics majors 'ind first in num- ber of students receiving minors Individual Assistance . . . im Sulver seeks a parley with Robert Underhill to discuss a question from his homework assignment.

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.

This questions erupts many times in the life of all high school students. The business major has a solid foundation on which to base his answer. Business-minded students utilize every opportunity to better their future careers with business courses. These courses range from typing to merchandising, such as shorthand, bookkeeping, salesmanship, advanced busi- ness, business law, and clerical practice. These courses teach the students correct procedure in using machines and also the latest techniques in acquiring high standards needed to be successful business men and women. XVell-qaulified teachers also stress the need, appre- ciation. and understanding of today's economic system. Although no specific amount of training assures immedi- ate employment, anything gained in the course will un- doubtedly prove valuable. The Irvington Lions Club presents award keys for -.eniors majoring in specified areas of business. The re- cipients must make grades ol B or better in their business subjects with the exception of typing. which may be a grade of CL. There are three areas of specialization. In the area of Business Principles, minimum requirements are Typing I and ll plus five additional credits in other business courses which are offered. es vt My , ., i mfsib ' 9 -H J qe,, I -..M ,, Student Stenographer . . .
