JKai iem atics ancf Science A mathematics lesson in quadratics This is the age of the atom, the age of man-made satellites, the age of automation, the age of antibio- tics. Mathematics and science are the basic skill subjects to fit the needs of such an age. At Glenwood mathematics and science are taught in ability groupings in order that each student can have opportunity to develop in these subjects according to his level of achievement. For the low achieving math student, there are courses in general math, remedial math, business arithmetic, and Algebra I B. Students following the academic curriculum may take two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and one year of advanced math. The science curriculum is also divided into courses leading to a general diploma or to an academic di- ploma. The general courses are Science I B and Biology II B or II C, depending upon ability. The academic sciences are Science I A, Biology II A, chemistry, and physics. At Glenwood School, math and science are stressed with the assumption that these subjects are every- body’s business, whether it be an understanding of the problems of automation, how to fill out an income tax form, or why it is necessary to send a man to the moon.

S ie Space mp. At as s Glenwood is well equipped to teach science in the Space Age. For example, the science depart- ment has over 400 film strips on practically every phase of high school science and 350 slides. There is an average of eighteen microscopes which allows one mi- croscope for every two people who are doing research. The science department also has a new Bell and Howell movie projector and a fif- teen-foot overhead screen, a tape recorder, a record player, a skele- ton, a cloud chamber, a radio active demonstrator, and many other valuable pieces of equipment too numerous to mention. Much of the science equipment was pur- chased through the National De- fense Education Act, which is proof of the emphasis the federal govern- ment is placing on the teaching of science. Chemistry students examine equipment for atomic experiments. This page sponsored by MARION BUICK COMPANY MARION MOTORS INCORPORATED FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK OF N. C. ■HI

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. Bacon In this shrunken world of the Space Age, communication is the vital factor in keeping world peace. The idea that there are more likenesses than differences among the peoples of the world is an accepted fact of the educated. Through the study of character and culture in literature, appreciation for the worth of a people can be measured in terms of STATURE, rather than STATUS. That the pen is mightier than the sword has been proved in times when nuclear war was believed inevitable. Not only the pen but also the voice are daily the deterrents of war and the contributors to Space Age progress. It is the common belief that so long as nations can communicate, the world is safe from atomic war and can progress in space exploration for peaceful purposes. This page sponsored by R. L.
