Well . . . we sloshed through that one-let's go on. Today, mathematics, the science of numbers and their relation to man, is a diversified field of work. This diversity is well exhibited by the range of courses offered to the students at Franklin. A new course, ninth grade gen- eral mathematics, has been added for those ninth grade students who are not taking Algebra I and II. Courses that have been added in recent years include Algebra III and IV, Honors Geometry, Trig- onometry, Analytic Geometry, and Calculus. These courses are taught in addition to Algebra I and II, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Re- view of Academic Mathematics. Ad- vanced courses have been placed in high schools and may provide advanced placement in college for some students. Review of General Mathematics is offered to students who are tak- ing the general course. Four new teachers added to the Mathematics Department are Mrs. Macquire and Mr. Nogle who teach ninth graders, and Mr. Sterling and Mr. Kreunen who teach students from all grades. . . . Mathematics Isn't math fun?

Look class, it's snowing! Mr. W. McKinley looks on as ninth grade science students perform an experiment The science department at Franklin is one to suit the needs of every student interested in the sciences. These diversified courses include biology, chemistry, physics, advanced science, general physical science, and ninth grade science. Biology is the study of living organisms. The aim of this course is to make the student more aware of himself and his environment. The many laboratory activities permit the student to learn from first-hand experience. A new honors program in biology was offered this year at Franklin. Chemistry teaches the student to appreciate the powers of modern chemistry in helping man control his environment. A new laboratory course, including lab books and new equipment with safety devices, was tried this year with great success. Physics is the mathematical approach to the basic concepts of the natural laws of the universe. Ade- quate laboratory equipment allows the student to actively participate in the discovery of the main principles of physics. Advanced Science, a course in its second year at Franklin, gives the interested 'and capable student an excellent opportunity to do further scientific work. The major part of the course is devoted to experimental research on the individual level. How- ever, a course in basic human physiology is also part of the program. General Physical Science is a course which is en- tirely laboratory oriented. General Physical Science students study units on Pushes, Pulls, and Moving Things, Rocks and Soils, Breakthroughs into Space, Hazards in Today's Environment, and Chemistry of Plastics. Ninth Grade Science is an introduction to the physical sciences. The freshmen have the advantage of the senior high equipment. .aww ma Fe2O3 + Al -9 A1203 + Fe, observes Mr. Sweeney passively
