Math Department Educates Students In A Wide Variety Of Courses To prepare the student in as many mathematical aspects as is possible to achieve - this is the chief goal of the Conestoga Valley Mathematics Department. To enable more student usage the department has added to its computer facilities another MERC Computer terminal, the goal being that every student is able to operate the computer at least once before graduating. This year, for the first time at Conestoga Valley, freshmen are taking geometry because of studying algebra in junior high. The program was moved down to allow the students to take a new course of advanced placement calculus when they are seniors. ln order to get students to use mathematics involving practical problems, a lab approach is being used. In this approach the stu- dents work outdoors and in individual groups making maps and finding indirect distances. This method is used especially in gen- eral courses.

History Is A Thing of The Present Composed of mostly veteran teachers, this department is constantly bringing history alive for the modem student. History teachers keep students informed about past and current events. Keeping history from being a thing of the past is one of the many aims of the history depart- ment. These teachers work hard to give the students a knowledge of the history of peoples all over the world from ancient times to the pres- ent day. American history is taught in the ninth and tenth grades. In a stu- dent's third year at C.V.H.S., the field is broadened and cultures of the peoples of the world are stressed. Economics and problems of democra- cy are the two standard courses taught to all seniors at Conestoga Val- ley. In addition to these courses, this year, the history department offers African history and twentieth-century history. These courses are of- fered every three years. Also this year the history department has begun a new independent study elective for students who display exceptional ability. In this group the students work on their own and receive full credit.
