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. U Carol Johnson and Paul Stewart work on advanced placement chemistry experiments.

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.

Business Prepares Students for Later Life Modern business methods and the complex- ities of our economic system demand that all schools provide a sound program of business education. DHS has tackled this problem success- fully by creating many different sections to its business education department. They include sec- retarial, which includes typing and stenographyy general clerical with courses in sales, bookkeep- ing and office machinesp and college prepara- tory courses of college typing, notehand and bus- iness organization and management. This department tries to encourage students to develop a sense of responsibility toward active participation in society and to prepare students for entry into the business world. This year the department has helped students in finding jobs related to the subiects they are studying. This helps them to learn while they participate in the actual working situation. if - l s .-. , . . . . 'i-- 1 K K Shari Solomon works on a rotary calculator.
