Mathematics With the recent era of space accomplishments, mathematics has gained a new importance. Eden, in keeping up with the times, has advanced its math courses. One of the greatest improvements is the ad- vanced course, starting in eighth grade and con- tinuing through high school. This allows students especially gifted in mathematical ability to take one-half year of college math when a senior. This year about 25 students are taking Math 11. This course consists of a full year of combined intermediate algebra and trigonometry. The stu- dents will then take one Regents exam at the end of the year. 16 Language In this age of amazing and far-reaching scien- tific achievements, we perhaps lose sight of man’s very definite need to communicate with others. Whether this is done through one’s native tongue or through a language acquired in the classroom, the problem remains the same. The gaps between countries, culture, and peo- ple must be bridged in order for the advancement of any field of learning to be of value. This must be effected by a fuller appreciation of the language arts and a more diligent study of modern and classical languages. Muszc Music constantly surrounds us in our modern day living. Through the years it has encouraged several students to join glee clubs and ensembles. Their foundation for appreciating music was laid during their high school years in school. With un- limited opportunities almost everyone may learn to play an instrument or to develop his voice for the enjoyment of others.

Commercial Under the guidance of the teachers in the Com- mercial Department of Eden Central School, the students, through actual practice on modern office equipment, will fulfill the requirements needed to go out in the business world after graduation and seek employment in the commercial fields or fur- ther their education in this field. Speed, accuracy, neatness, and a knowledge of the basic principles of business are constantly being stressed by the teachers. Sczence Science influences almost every aspect of our lives, from food to furniture. For this reason it is presently being stressed in schools to better pre- pare us for the challenging world of inventions. Also, for students who plan and desire to procure a higher education, high school science will be their stepping stone to infinite and fascinating ad- ventures. Soczal Studzes As the Seniors close the doors on the high school life, they can glance in retrospect at their years of education in the field of citizenship. They have progressed from the study of the home, to the community, from there to the state and na- tional scenes, and finally to the study of the inter- national setting. Using the social sciences such as geography, sociology, government, economics, and history, they have come to wider knowledge and deeper understanding of their responsibilities in citizenship in the field of social activity.
