CIVICS Civics is that branch of political science which deals with the rights and duties of citizenship and is the study of the government of our nation, our state, and the community in which we live. Since a course in civics is important because our happiness and comfort depend to a very large extent upon the action of the government, we realize that the study of this subject teaches us the objects and functions of ruling and being ruled. Almost everyone in this country has a voice in the government and from the knowledge derived from Civics we learn how to use our right in bettering our way of life and becoming better law-abiding citizens. With the greatest aim of the school being to prepare our school children to love, respect, and defend the ideals brought forth by our forefathers in our democratic life, one realizes the importance of training which helps the student to be fair, honest, tolerant, kind, and industrious. We note, therefore, that if we are to enjoy the MATHEMATICS The mathematics courses at Diman are intended to instill and promote in the student, the mathemati- cal skills and understanding which are necessary in a true Artisan. To achieve this end, courses in mathe- advantages of good government, we must be trained to work together in the community, state, and nation. The function and purposes of government are ex- plained in Civics, and by accepting the duties, respon- sibilities and obligations expounded in this subject, the students may better understand America, and a more fervent loyalty to our country may be displayed by every citizen in the land. matics are given in all four years. As a freshman, the student receives a basic review of the fundamentals of arithmetic with the study and use of the known formulas and data being incorporated with practical problems. The sophomore year takes the student into the abstractions of algebra with a thorough coverage of word problems. In the junior year, the field of trigonometry is explored and trigonometric functions stressed along with work on the right triangle. Finally, in his senior year, the student is ready for a com- prehensive review-mathematics course, which serves as a springboard for any more specialized mathe- matics found necessary in the student's chosen vocation. Therefore, with a basic knowledge of fundamental mathematics, it is hoped that the Diman graduate is prepared to venture forth into our American community and add some contribution to the indus- trial and construction fields.
