Under the direction of Mr. Edward [ Paine, the MATH department of Downers I Grove High School North aims to give all I students a basic background in mathematical I skills. Whether the student intends to ob- I tain a job directly after graduation or to I continue his formal education in college, he I is offered a variety of courses that prepare him for the future. The job-bound student must take either general or senior math, since one year of math is a graduation re- quirement. College-bound students are of- fered algebra, geometry. Algebra II, col- lege algebra and trigonometry, finite math, and introductory calculus. This year the department acquired a com- puter which has aroused such an interest in the students that there is now a computer class. Taught by Mr. Marvin Schmidt, this non-credit course is offered to all interested students. The class meets once a day for nine weeks; there is also an afterschool class which meets three times a week for students unable to attend the scheduled daytime class. Marvin G. Schmidt Dc Paul U..

Physical Education Requires Coordinated Activity The Downers Grove High School North PHYSICAL EDUCATION department, headed by Mr. James Stahl, instructs stu- dents in a daily program of physical fitness. Among the many activities offered to stu- dents are calisthenics, individual competi- tion, team sports, and classroom work in health and first-aid. Another important facet of the P.E. program is the state-required driver’s training. Instruction is received through classroom work, practice in the drivo-trainer machines, and behind the wheel instruction on roads in the Downers Grove- area. Good sportsmanship, physical skills, and proper health habits are stressed, and with the increased attention that has been fo- cused on physical fitness, the gym period is an important and enjoyable part of the student's daily schedule. In P.E. class senior archers tally their scores after shooting a round of arrows. I.auta Lyle Gita Michael Sandra Rasmussen Jackalyn Trinko U. of Wyoming, M.A. U. of Illinois. B.S. Northwestern U..
