Mathematics measures our present, our past, Among the lively and most important subjects at Feehan is mathematics. Realizing the vital need for math in man’s future, Feehan’s mathematics department has set up a thorough and challenging program. It is thorough, in that it begins with elementary algebra for freshmen, follows with basic geome- try for the sophomores, offers an ad- vanced level of algebra for juniors, and for seniors, concludes with an advanced math course which takes in everything from probabi lity and statistics to basic theory and logic. The program is chal- lenging, in that it coaxes the slow stu- dent, encourages the average scholar, and yet offers a challenge stiff enough to muddle even the math enthusiast. Feehan may well be proud of its math program. Those who deserve the real praise are our team of math teachers headed by Sister Mary Virginia, assisted by Sister Mary Therese Agnes, Sister Mary Incarnata, Mr. Harold Hanewich and Mrs. Sandra Weintraub. “The great race’’ — Richard Busby versus the slide rule. Sister Mary Virginia, head of the math department, and Bruce Carmichael are put- ting odds on the slide rule.
