The mathetmatics department of Hart High School Is organized and planned to serve the needs of two classes of students; those who are preparing to attend college, and those who expect to go Into some line of work directly from high school or after further preparation in some trade school. 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.

 )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. Standing: Benard Schaner Front row: Harold Schaner, Bruce Benton, Roddy Mead, Second row: Catherine Shinn, Dan Sayles, Lewis Wilde, Jack Greiner. Mr. Shinn

Chemistry and Physics in the high school today have, beyond a doubt, more significance than they have ever had before. Our world is a technological world, one of scientific achievements and advancements. Your classroom is just the merest beginning, a place where only a very small impression is given in relation to the present world complexities. Physics is given to acquaint students with the knowledge of the how and why of mechanics, heat, light, sound and electricity, important every-day things in life. Physics deals with the practical and is designed to bring forth the reasoning abilities of students. Chemistry is a study of the ingredients of nature, delving into the realms of whirling molecules and atoms. Chemistry calls for concentrated study and memorization. Today, living, in the new Atomic Age, both chemistry and physics are more of a part of us. Even the simplest of laymen realize and feel the weight of split atoms. Will it be total destruction or the harnessing of nature’s most powerful source of energy for the benefit of all of us? This problem, paramount to all others, is the basic need of study in these fields today.
