A freshman may be learning that x” is un- known (Algebra I) or he may find his problerti involves a graph with x” accompanied by unknown y” (Algebra II). The mathematician then proceeds to geometry where he learns of triangles, axioms and postulates. The last step is Math IV consisting of the slide rule, functions, and graphs. But those mathe- matically inclined will be taking Math V, working on calculus in their senior year. Math IV students finding functions of angles.

With the help of modern equipment and laboratories and the direction of adept teachers, many of the students acquire a firm background in the fundamentals of the sciences. As a freshman, the student can choose among physical science, general science, and earth science. The sophomore studies biology to acquaint himself with the living organisms of the earth. In the last two years of high school the student can study physics for a better understanding of energy, and chemistry for the scientific knowledge of the nature of his world. In chemistry the emphasis is on individual laboratory work to develop the student’s confidence and resourcefulness.
