Mathematics Since some mathematics are required in each curriculum at Fairhaven High School, it is necessary that our math course be diverse as well as functional. Fairhaven’s math¬ ematics department fulfills its purposes w r ell; it prepares college course students for more advanced studies, it provides a solid background in business arithmetic for business course students, and it contains a broad course in general mathematics for general course students. Fair- haven High School has good reason to be proud of the fine job its math department is doing in educating all of its students. Geometry can confuse the best of men. In Mr. Lawton’s classes students often explain problems that they understood to the rest of the class. The general math course teaches the use and application of slide rules as well as many other facets of mathematics. 25

The future of our nation depends on its history and the youth of the present. If the youth of today learns from the past, it will be able to build a strong future. The history curriculum at Fairhaven High School helps the students to understand the past. United States’ History is a required subject before a student may graduate. In this way, a student is better prepared by Fairhaven High School to meet his own future and the future of the nation.
