MATH EMATICS QUALITY CONTROL The traditional mathematics courses in Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Trigonometry had in recent years been sup- plemented by the addition of new courses. School Mathe- matics Study Group TS.M.S.G.J Geometry and Algebra provided selected students with contemporary concepts and terminology. A transition was made from the sequence of Algebra II and Trigonometry in the eleventh and twelfth grades respectively, to Algebra-Trig in the junior year and Advanced Algebra the next year to prepare the student for the computations necessary in Senior Physics. An exciting new course, Advanced Mathematics V, stimu- lated College-Preparatory minds and prepared them for Calculus and other forms of higher mathematics. Seventeen seniors, under the guidance of Mrs. Cook. delved into an impressively comprehensive college-level study of probability and statistics. including such topics as Pascal's Triangle. binomial distribution, logic, Boolean Algebra, Analytical Geometry, limit concepts, and groups and fields.

Now four years of each of these languages and two years of Russian are offered. There was a new Advanced Placement course in French. The students read and discussed French literature from the sixteenth century to the present, examined various styles of writing and considered the various philosophies of French writers. College credit could be earned by those participants in the course who passed the Advanced placement Examination in French. To really understand the country in which the language originated, forty Latin students spent Easter vacation in Rome. Mr. Dannaway, along with the Latin teachers from four other schools, worked hard to make this the trip of a lifetime. MR. PAUL C.
