The wonders of MATH intrigue us Clare Rickert explains to Carol Pearce and the trigonometry class her appli- cation of logarithms in solving the two sides and an angle of the right triangle. This course is taken in the first semester of senior year and is replaced in the second term by solid geometry. both important studies in the preparation for advanced mathematics and science. As usual, X is the unknown in Al- gebra II class. Here Father Herron demonstrates the factor theorem to Eugene McAteer as B-4 watches. 4? XM

With all the eagerness of children with a new toy, Betty Burke and Kathleen Schmidt of the Math Club demonstrate some of the tricks of a slide- rule for an appreciative audience. Sister Catherine Veronica is the club moderator. In plane geometry, a familiar theorem passes from the book to the notebook as Father O'Rourke super- vises Ihe efforts of Michael Simpson, one of his C-8 mathematicians. sl 'str Axioms, postulates, theorems, formulas, logarithms- all play their part in preparing us for a future which places great emphasis on science and mathematics. All freshmen and sophomores take Algebra I and Plane Geometry, while juniors may study Algebra II: and seniors are offered a semester each of Trigonometry and Solid Geometry.
