 )0—l 2nn From the beginning of the history of education in the United States mathematics has been recognized as one of the basic subjects for study. It is considered one of the necessary fields of learning for the educated person as well as one of the necessary tools for meeting the needs of the average individual in the complicated conditions of life today in this mechanical and industrial age. Whether in peace or war, the conditions under which we live today would be utterly impossible without that most e act of all sciences--mathematics. There is no civil service examination, no college entrance examination, and no major testing program of any kind for determining the intellectual capacity and attainments of human beings'today but what includes problems in mathematics. Advanced Algebra XI should be taken before Trig and Physics. Benard Schaner, Lois Buffym, Fred Riley, Levis Wilde, Roddy Mead, Harold Schaner, Bruce Benton, Catherine Shinn Trigonometry XI is elected by those who are preparing to enter college.

The debating class carried on many classroom debates and had practice debates with Muskegon Heights and Remus. The last half of the year's work was devoted to public speaking in other forms. Each person has written and memorized an oration, memorized a dramatic Declamation and a Dramatic Oration besides reading the January, February and March issues of Time and Newsweek from cover to cover for material to use in the Extempore Speech contest.

Algebra, plane geometry ana trigonometry or solid geometry are offered to fill these needs. Approximately one hundred fifty students are enrolled in these classes this year. M A T H E M A T I C S Algebra IX Is strongly recommended as a basic course in mathematics.
