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.

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.

SOCIAL SCIENCE The organization of different economics and govern- ments, the relationship of man to his environment, the struggle for power among nations—all these arc a part of social science. World and American history acquaint students with the rise and fall of ancient and contemporary civiliza- tions and the development of the American cultural heri- tage. The study of the Illinois and federal constitutions takes place in government classes. Economic difficulties and world problems are discussed in the international relations course, and students analyze man and his sur- roundings in sociology classes. The social science courses attempt to promote a better adjusted attitude toward life and its problems. Seated MR. ALDO VESPASIAN CAROZZA. University of Illinois. M A . 3 years; MISS LUELLA E. PAUL.
