Jan Cooper fears to open the door to her math class. “What will he say?” wonders Jan. “I’m sure I heard the hell ring!” and Division, Basis of Math Work for Students A PROBLEM in Algebra I is contemplated and mused over by Clifford Cater as he does his daily homework necessary to keep an advantageous grade average. These important math classes induce concentrated thinking, as well as a secure future in the mathematical field. By the large enrollment of students, math appears to he a much liked course. 21

“MAN, THIS is a tough test!” complains some of Mr. Alfonse’s plane geometry students as seen taking one of his tests. The students thought that math would never be so hard. MANY CANS OF MIDNIGHT oil have been burned for our many mathematics courses offered in L.H.S. One of the toughest courses is solid, dealing with figures of the third dimension, taught under the instruction of Mr. Lee and Mr. Spauld- ing. Trig follows solid, offering just as many brain teasers as solid did. The next math in complexity is Algebra II which is a more detailed course than Algebra I, dealing in three and four unknowns, and in graph- ing of points other than straight lines. College review math and plane geometry stand about side by side as far as roughness of a course. C. R. reviews Algebra I, plane geometry, simple computations, and covers Alg. II, including the slide rule. Plane geometry, obviously, deals with figures lying in planes. General, practical, and business math are offered to those students not planning to specialize in mathematical fields. Although these courses are general, one is able to enter college with them. Alfonse, Clarence, Wisconsin State College B.S. STUDENTS WISHING to increase their mathematical inclinations are atten- tively listening as Joe Jolly and Ted Johnson demonstrate a problem in “solid. Formulas, a small artistic ability and of course a small bit of brain, are the necessary equipment for taking this course. Carlisle, Terry, York University B.S.

Dartmouth College University of Miami A.B., M.Ed. “WHERE is Miss Freiday’s 3rd hour Modem European history class?” This is “very” suspicious looking for the class, which is studying about the French Revolution. All Outlines and Dates Memorized “YOU MEAN I can carry a gun?” is a ques- tion asked when one of the many American Gov- ernment students interprets one of the sections in the Bill of Rights. Government also deals with fields of local, state and national governmental organizations. To promote a better understanding of good citizenship and encourage participation towards a more effective democracy, the P.A.D. course is offered. If you want a wider view of history and want to know about the history of the world in which we live, World History is highly commendable. Modern European History and Contemporary History are studies of current events in both Europe and the United States. Florida History offers you an excellent oppor- tunity to learn all about the state we live in, the Sunshine State. Because it is required by the law, all Lauderdale students take American History. The course is designed to teach American citizens the facts about their native land.
