Math Curriculum Follows Modern Trends Our mathematics department delves into one of today's most important fields. This challenging subject has applications outside of the classroom. It is vital in complicated business science and the industrial world. Many times this year students have had the opportunity to see computers at work. The math department prepares students for the future when they will encounter such new mathematical equipment. The curriculum is following a modern trend and plans to include elementary computers, sur- veying, matrices, probability and statistics. Pres- ently offered are first and second year algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus and analytic geometry. The advanced placement program is also part of the math curriculum at DHS. Miss Thiel explains cr problem to a first year algebra class as she uses the overhead projector.

Social Studies Revises Present Curriculum The social studies department tries to cover all corners of the world whether it be in current events or history courses. lts most recent project is to revise and enrich its curriculum so students may take advantage of the important non-west- ern world. Such a study would include many of the newly formed African countries, the Middle East and the Orient. The value of this and of the entire social studies department is to expose stu- dnts to different types of cultures. Sociology and economics are also offered in this department. Sociology is the study of man in relation to his society. How man makes a living by satisfying his wants and needs is taken up in economics.

Although Darwin's Theory of Evolution, Avogadro's Hypothesis and Einstein's Theory of Relativity seem worlds apart, all are within the realms of science and contained in courses in the DHS science curriculum. The goal in all classes is to permit each individual who has an interest in science to develop his potential. lt is hoped that this will be achieved through the individ- ual's initiative, reasoning and thinking rather than mem- orization. Provided within the curriculum is the senior science program which enables those students in the ad- vanced placement program to continue studies in bi- ology, chemistry, or physics. 27 M' B A puzzled student queries Mr. Brawders about electrons.
