' Gradually, in the past few years, the pendulum has swung. There is a re-emphasis within the cur- riculum on humanities rather than the natural sciences and mathematics. Man is again becoming aware of the fact that if he is to establish a secure and prosperous world, he must first create an indi- vidual who isable to appreciate and maintain this society.

Rhonda Ditn course for rev l Mathematical world preset Cool, precise, obvious, if you know the answer. This is the way it stands in the mathematical world of Central High School. It's a world without emotionsg the answers are already calculated before you discover the solu- tions. Math presents cold facts and figures, but it is not so mechanical that it's lacking in crea- tivity at Central. Probably nothing is as precise as a mathe- matical equation. It cannot be half rightg it has to be one-hundred per cent right. If less, it is wrong. So it is with the decisions of life. Your decisions will either be of benefit to you or handicap you, all depending on whether or not they were right. Math is really not as complex as one might think.
