Even before men could read or write, they were counting on their fingers or using simple calculating machines. It follows that in order to succeed in any business, one must have some knowledge of mathemat- ics. Mathematics is of such fundamental importance in engineering and in almost all physical sciences that it is a necessary part of the preparation for a career in these fields. In its every form, mathematics is a test and training in clear, logical, accurate thinking. The courses offered at Fort Myers Senior High School are Algebra I and II, Geometrv, Refresher Math, General Math, Business Math, and Advanced Math. iV . J MRS.

Schools try to furnish their stu- dents with all the necessary things that help to pro- duce healthy bodies. Fort Myers Senior High School has a fine staff and all the essential equipment. Healthy- attitudes and good sportsmanship are not neglected in the development of the complete boy and girl.

This course also teaches some students how to swim and for the more proficient swimmers there is a class in advanced swim- ming.
