SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The chief aim of Belvidere High 's Science Department is to acquaint all students with the general field of science. General science, re- quired of all freshmen, and biology, taught usu- a' ly during the second year, are both well cor- rolated with the science offered in junior high. The iunior and senior years of science, chem- istry, and physics, are to further the students' interest and understanding of science in pre- paring them for college or a career in this vast, wonderful world of science.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT One year of mathematics is required for graduation from Belvidere High School. An algebra aptitude test is given to eighth grade students in the spring. All students who do not make a sufficiently high score on that test are placed in general mathematics. This course is designed to help students with their quantitative problems in every day living and to give them a preview of algebra and geometry. Algebra I and plane geometry are suggested courses for anyone going to college. Algebra I is designed to develop the concept of symbolism and general number. Plane geometry stresses the concept of proof and applies arithmetic and algebra to two-dimensional space. Advanced algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry are offered for those interested in careers in science, en- gineering, and mathematics. Students going into these fields find it a distinct advantage to enter college or tech- nical schools with a good mathematical background. Stu- dents who leave high school to enter industry find that advanced algebra and trigonometry are big factors for success. Remember the good old days of 26-2. MRS. ELIZABETH HARRISON M.
