Freshman classes start their math program with elementary algebra . Living as we do in an age that is domi- nated by science and mathematics, we give these two subjects an important place in our curriculum. Although the study of religion and its correlation with all subjects is of X fur- Math 10 uses elementary algebra as a stepping stone to geo- metry and simple trig. Maureen Dulin works at the board a geometry problem that has been assigned for outside work, first importance, science and math form the backbone of the academic course. Special classes and drills help us face the competitive scholarship exams that are built around these subjects,
