The type and number of courses to which we were exposed depended upon our aptitude-s and chosen coursefcollege, business, or practical. Our senior class was the first to have the opportunity of electing Calculus, the most ad- vanced math course now offered at East Hartford High. Many of us elected Algebra l. Those success- ful in Algebra I and with a desire to continue into more advanced math, chose Plane Geometry, then Algebra ll, Solid Geometry, Trigonometry and finally Calculus. Those not electing the more specialized courses in Mathematics, chose Review Math or Practical Math. Regardless of the amount of math courses in which We indulged, all of us were required to pass Mr, Anderson's well-known lOO-problem test before graduation. XIAY .xx Algebra I can be a bit confusing at times.

The watchword in any science program is Seek and ye shall learn. What stands out most as we look back over our four years of science in high school is that there is a lot of unfinished busi- ness and many new frontiers for us to explore. We have merely scratched the surface in our attempt to learn about the deep secrets of nature. Under the watchful eye of our teachers, many preiudices and personal feelings have been laid to rest as we began to understand our place in our environment and our role in an atomic-powered age. With the need becoming ever more evident for highly trained scientific personnel to carry on in the race for space su- premancy, we see the necessity for focussing our attention on our scientific studies-General Science, Biology, Anatomy and Physi- ology, Chemistry, and Physics. As we look forward to our tomorrow, one of us may yet be the first to step forth from a rocket ship on the moon. I Q V 14' i Learning what makes Homo-nik tick.
