The basic aim of Defiance High School ' s math course is to teach and encourage logical thinking. Old fashioned methods of teaching have been eliminated and in lieu of these, an entirely new math program has been instigated. Whereas in former days only simple arithmetic problems and complex fractions and proportions were taught. In the new program subjects which were thought to be college level are now taught here in high school. On the junior high level students review and ex- tend their knowledge of basic arithmetic. As the courses advance in difficulty students are taught to use their minds more efficiently. Judy Tustison demonstrates o mathematical equation. MATHEMATICS TRAINS STUDENTS MR.

Seniors in social problems class learn to meet and analyze current problems in an intelligent manner, basing their opinions on the background of knowl- edge they have obtained in previous years. They are shown their democratic privileges and are taught how to cultivate and develop those responsibilities needed to maintain democratic ideals.

On the higher mathematical levels, as students progress through algebra, geometry, and trigo- nometry, they learn the fundamentals of lines, angles, planes, and solids. They also study fractional linear, and quadratic equations, the use of radicals and exponents, and the functions of angles. The new advanced mathematics course is outlined for the superior math student and v ' ill place him in a much more favorable position to do college work in mathematical and scientific areas. Thus the teaching of mathematics will always form an important part of our educational system. Dicl Cunningham practices the graphing process. IN LOGICAL COMPUTATION MR.
