Science Dealing With Many Things Math, math, math. Algebra seems to be the hard subject for Marion Urycki who obtains help from Tommy Wilson. After completing their daily lesson, Don Waters, Mary Ann Ivanich, Linda Hadady, and Raeann Summers take advantage of their study time. Confused?” Not trying to confuse anyone, Allen Kallas draws a complicated triangle in geometry class. 13 Homework is a controversial subject, but it’s a necessity in Algebra. Janice Bauske and Larry Huddleston pass up their required homework.

Math Is The “Now, this is the top of a dissectable cone”. Roseann Scheus- ter explains this to the rest of the class during a demonstra- tion in solid geometry class. If a preamble to a mathematical constitu- tion were to be written perhaps it would read as such: “We hold this truth to be self-evident, that mathematics is the science dealing with the measurement, properties and relationships of quantities.” Even though we do not possess such a con- stitution at Calumet, we do offer the following subjects: Algebra, which deals with literal numbers, symbols and equations, or general math which deals with practical story problems, is offered the first year. Those who wish to increase their knowledge in the field of mathematics may enroll in plane geometry, which deals with the reasoning of two- dimensional figures; advanced algebra, which covers such things as square roots and quadrat- ic equations; solid geometry, which deals with the reasoning of three-dimensional figures and trigonometry, which is an accumulation of other forms of math. Barbara Cederoth has just finished working and explaining this trigometric function in a senior trigonometry class. - 12 -

Because the emphasis on physical fitness has become increasingly important in the American high school curriculum, Calumet High School students are required to take at least one year of physical education. The principle purpose of the course is to at- tain the daily exercise needed to build a healthy and active body. In the classes, the students learn to do many exercises and participate in many sports. Among these are: hand stand, tumbling, push-ups, hand springs, kickball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and German batball. Sportsmanship is very essential in any acti- vity or sport, for this reason the students are taught to be good losers and fair players. Performing an acrobatic feat of standing on his head is Jim Carri- gan who is assisted by Tim Hiddle. P.E. And Health And Safety In the process of a successful hand stand in gym class is Rich- ard Layman. Line Soccer is the game played by Linda Wheetley and Mar- tha Kruk.
