Trigonometry and Solid Geometry are more advanced courses in mathematics, Each of these is a semester course andthey are usually taken together as one solid subject.

.yn nglzrinlfing Mir!! joreign Hickman boasts one of the finest language departments in the state. It is one of the few high schools which offers three years of Latin to its students. There are nine instructors in the language depart- mentg Mrs. McTurnan, Mr. Stawski, Mrs. Delmez, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Holmes, Miss Ingrum, Mrs. Boeger, Miss Hawkins, and Mrs. Lanser. Foreign languages are of particular interest to many students. In addition to learning to write, read, speak and under- stand the language, the student gains a great deal of knowledge pertaining to the customs, culture and geography of the country he is studying. No foreign language is required at Hickman, but courses in this field are strongly recommended, especially to all students who are planning to enter college after graduation.

Biology, Botany, and Zoology are basic courses in the study of all living things, Chemistry and Physics give the student a good back- ground in physical science. Hickman boasts a well -equipped laboratory which supple- ments textbook teaching and greatly adds to the interest of the courses. This year for the first time, television is being used as a teaching aid in one of the Physics classes. This is part of an experiment in educational television, under the direction of the University of Missouri.
