Math Classes Meet Needs Of All Students One does not need to be a millionaire or an important business executive to need mathematics. With this fact in mind, the math courses at CHS are aimed at meeting the needs of all students whether they be enrolled in academic or non-academic courses of study. These include general mathematics in the eighth and ninth grades, two years of algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. Al¬ though drill work is important, other de¬ vices to aid learning in these classes in¬ clude among other things, models, over¬ head transparencies, compasses, transits, and tables. 12

Sciences Help Students Probe The Universe Just follow your nose, and you will find the chemistry lab, where students probe the com¬ position of the world around them. Or visit a biology class, where the students learn about plant and animal organisms, or a physics or general science class, where scientific prin¬ ciples are applied to everyday living. Through all of these activities students get a better un¬ derstanding of man and his environment and are better prepared to cope with the myriad problems facing modern man. This year, as in the past, students enrolled in science classes worked hard preparing projects for the school Science Fair. In addition to this participation, three chemistry students entered projects in the Western Virginia Science Fair. 14
