MA THEM A TICS Grade 8 includes a redevelopment and extension of the concepts of arithmetic taught in earlier years. There is a dual offering in grade 9 -- a year of general mathematics for pupils not likely to need extensive study of mathematics in their future plans and first-course algebra, into which other pupils are guided. Most of the pupils who take general mathematics could take one more year of mathematics usually in grade 11 or 12. Many of the pupils who successfully complete first-course algebra will continue with second- course algebra in grade 10, plane geometry in grade 11, and the solid geometry-trigonometry course in grade 12. Mr. Sunderlin uses an equilateral triangle to demonstrate a point to his Solid Geometry class. Mrs. Gracey ' s General Math class at work. SCIENCE A complete four-year science course -- including general science (9th grade), biology (10th grade), chemistry (11th grade or 12th grade), and physics (12th grade) --is offered at C. C. H. S. All human beings tend to think in terms of the short run --in short, the easy way out. The values of a strict academic curriculum are difficult to fully comprehend because their values can be under- stood only in terms of the long run. Since such subject matter is admittedly difficult, students avoid them and hence cheat themselves out of the knowledge of knowing whether or not they are of any value. In choosing a high school career, a student should stop to consider that by selecting the easy way out, he may cheat himself of those things he desires most in life. It is those things that are harder to obtain that are the most worthwhile. These students watch carefully as Mr. Taylor demonstrates in Physics. The students intently watch as Mrs. Rams- burg experiments with the making of soap. 11
