m was understood Sophomore Steve Smith works diligently with one of the oldest problems pertaining to geometry- construction problems. d math courses challenge students of toda trigonometry rule. General math students Joe Colbert, Dave Easter, and Jeanette Bridgman examine some of Mr. Swope's mathematical sketches. f n Y By means of numbers and symbols, we may study the relationship of two quantities in mathe- matics. The difference between mathematics today and the methods by which the cavemen counted objects and expressed their values is immeasur- able. To most mathematicians, the word immea- surable is a fictitious word. There is always a goal to aim for and an answer to be found. Whether it is numerical or proven untrue, every problem has a determined answer before it is ever Worked. Math is one of the oldest sciences ever used and one of the everlasting sciences to be studied. Central's math courses deal with the concepts of mathematics which move ahead year after year. For the willing students with ability in mathematics, Central offers algebra in accelerated courses along with geometry, trigonometry, math analysis, and calculus. For the students who are interested in just enough mathematics to help them in business and home life after schooling, there is a general math course that is preferred.

S1 'tive students of toda prer equisites Amid microscopes, bunsen burners, test tubes, acids, bases, and elements stands the vast, fas- cinating world of science. To unlock and under- stand the mysteries of our universe, education in the specific fields of science is required. Study of the sciences is difficult even if one enjoys itg there is room only for the intellects and hard workers. Every science student's life is faced with the same three questions-What, why, and how? This inquisitive attitude is what supports a scientific idea. Experimentation and knowledge provide an- swers. Central's science courses supply knowledge for students who have curiosity. Chemistry and physics are two physical sciences taught at Central. The biological course is composed of botany, the study of plants, and zoology, the study of animals. Theories and knowledge from each classification of science are combined in general science. the method oi finding a new volume of a substance by means of mathematics. In health class Rhonda Norris and Sharon Hudson point out and explain the various functions of the human heart. W p Physics can prove to be both fascinating and time-consuming as illustrated by busy seniors Jim Adler and Jay Maddox.
