Algebra to Calculus— It’s All in the Path Leading to College (Above) John Panzar and Jack Collins attempt to solve a problem for their calculus class (or are they concentrating on tonight’s swimming meet?). (Below) Mr. Charles Kepler offers some advice to one of his geometry students attempting to bisect a line. Essential to a college-bound student is a well-rounded education in mathematics. Beginning with algebra in the freshman year, a student can work his way through geometry, college algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. With a taste of these courses, a student can then elect to continue his conquest of mathematics in his four years of college.

Science Imperative for a Well-Balanced Curriculum (To the left) Mr. Manly Tory gives some helpful advice to a group of freshman science students who are having trouble focusing their microscopes. (Below) Melrose Simko and Sandi Spina attempt to measure the thickness of a layer of molecules in a physics experiment. Just as a strong knowledge in mathematics is important to a prospective college student, so is a curriculum in science. First introduced to genes and bacteria in a sophomore biology class, a student can proceed through the study of motion and light in physics, and end with the combination of sodium and chlorine in a senior chemistry class. Science courses in our atomic age are increasingly more important to a student because our whole world revolves around what he has learned in his three years of science.
