Students Mike MacDonald, Judy Koppen, and Olga Nygaard demonstrate to an advanced algebra class how to solve equations by graphing. Mathematics Teach “Math teaches you to think”. Students who have had to work story problems or complex equations will readily agree with this statement. Although only one year of mathematics is required in Astoria High School, more and more students are taking advantage of the four-year program offered. Courses Varied “Book larkin’ ”, according to the old song, consists of “readin’, ‘ritin’, and ‘rithmetic”. But in the modern high school of today there is a choice of many subjects completely unknown to the “youngun’s” of by-gone years. Astoria High students have the op¬ portunity to take courses in higher mathematics, science, foreign lan¬ guages, business or manual skills, mu¬ sic, art and physical education, as well as the fundamental three some. To the administration and faculty is given the responsibility of provid¬ ing curriculum and instruction that will prepare these high school stu¬ dents to meet the ever increasing com¬ plexities of today’s society.
