It plays a substantial role in imparting those values epito- mized in the phrase, a liberal education. It tries to help every student grow in his ability to read discriminat- ingly, to speak and write effectively, to listen intelli- gently, and to utilize sources competently: it tries to develop in him a taste for fine literature and a distaste for what is cheap and tawdry; and it tries to help him conceive of the great writings, past and present, as synthesizing forces which combine all learning into one comprehensible pattern.

Illustrative of the increasing importance of mathe- matics is the large percentage of students who take more than the required year of Algebra I or General Mathe- matics. The Math department, headed by Mr. Edward Paine, provides for the gifted student by including accelerated classes in its curriculum. In a program inaugurated this year, select groups of mathematically gifted eighth grad- ers at Puffer. Herrick, and O'Neill junior high schools were offered Algebra I. During their high school years, these students will be offered additional advanced courses not included in the present curriculum. Many students in this accelerated program will go directly into advanced courses in college, and some will receive college credit for this high school work. On March 5. about 100 math students took part in the Annual Mathematical Contest. The three highest scores from DGHS were entered in nation-wide competition. MR. JULIAN M. TAYLO— Athletic Director.
