FOR THEIR FUTURE RESPONSIBILITIES SOCIAL STUDIES MATHEMATICS This class in Algebra I is just one of five courses in mathe- matics offered at C.H.S. Others include basic math, geometry, Algebra n and trigonometry. Before the second bell rings, everybody talks to his neighbor. But after the bell, Mr. Rose takes over the discussion and the topic turns to American history. Besides this required subject, students may also take world history, economics, or American government.
