pi Mathematics EMPSTEAD HIGH offers a diversified selection of math courses. For the student who desires a course in elementary mathematics, elementary algebra is avail- able to the freshman and sophomore while plane geometry is offered to sophomores, iuniors and seniors. Also available are a number of courses in advanced mathemat- ics. They are intermediate algebra, trigo- nometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra. Each of these is a half year course. They are available only to upper classmen who demonstrate a sound com- prehension of elementary math and the ability to pursue more complex mathemati- cal problems. Math is one of the greatest stimuli for the mind. lt arouses one's intellectual fac- ulties and leads to just and scientific con- clusions through given facts. By preparing the student for higher and more complex mathematics, our math de- partment is contributing to man's progress.

X S the study of languages iust dull memoriza- tion of verbs cmd gender? Our language de- partment here at Hempstead would heartily disagree. Aside from offering the French, Latin, Spanish and German languages, it provides an interesting and stimulating study of the culture and literature of the country in which the par- ticular language is spoken. Along with the mastering ofthe pronunciation, students are taught native songs which further their linguistic skill and attord an interesting diver- sion from the regular routine of class work. The study of a language also creates a desire in the student to visit the country in which that lan- guage is spoken and thus he learns first hand about its people and customs. In this way, people of ditterent nations have been drawn together and better understanding is the result. Left to right, Row I: Celine Young, Sonia Dorwm Gertrude Gunther.
