Department Chairman Earl Veenandaal contributes much to the organization and management of the: math teachers and classes. Math is required by all students for one year, but many stu- dents continue for three or four years, to gain a better insight into the world of mathematics. The regular sequence for average students is Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Trig. and pre-calculus. Half year courses are available in senior math and Computer Math. For students math is always a routine course with homework every night and a test after every chapter. Grosse Pointe North is fortunate to have excellent teach- ers, who help students comprehend the mechanics and reason behind mathematics.

Escape to a haven of quiet relaxation at the library Shelving books, assisting students, and taking inventory are three of the many jobfdone by Northhs librarians. If a stu- dent needs help in finding a book or an- other type of reference material, a librarian is always there to assist. Librarians arenht the only ones at work in the library. Students can be found checking out, books and doing other various tasks behind the desk, and arouhd the library. The 1i- brarians enjoy having the student workers to help ease the work load, and the stu- dents love doing it. Keeping the noise down to a dull roar is another one of the many jobs well done by the librarians. Students can find a quiet haven where studying, homework, or read- ing can be done without being disturbed. Curriculum 67
