MATHE TIC Every year in his high school career, the student has to decide whether he wants to take mathematics. Before he does, he should realize that besides factual knowledge, mathema- tics will teach him perserverance and discipline in working and reasoning. Highland Park High School is trying to improve the cour- ses offered. Next summer as part of a national experiment, a pilot group of entering freshmen will take a special course at Rutgers for three weeks which will present Algebra in a new light. The school hopes to have the students continue under this new method throughout their high school careers. If the Rutgers experiment doesn't work out, a program which would enable good students to take college mathematics in their senior year may be instituted. Through the Trigonometry, Geometry, Algebra, General Mathematics, and Industrial Mathematics courses already offered and the new ones planned, any student should be able to graduate with a good background for whatever he wants to do.

AUSTIN E. LEPINE. Chairman Physical Education Applesauce. .IAY DAKELMAN Physical Education, Guidance zrandmother can run faster than that! 'You've been so nice to me since y PHY ICAL EDUCATIO The Physical Education Department strives to keep the student healthy, both physically and mentally. This is accomplished not only in hygiene and gym classes but also in strong intramural and interscholastic programs. Gym occupies four periods a week, except when hygiene replaces one period for about ten weeks. In addition to softball, basketball, track, tumbling, and dancing, each class goes through a program of varied activities, such as football and wrestling for boys and hockey and tennis for girls. In hygiene class during the freshman year, the girls study home nursing while the boys have a general health course. The following three years of hygiene include anatomy, first aid, and social-sex hygiene. A V MARILYN TAICIA It 'xl Physical Education, Driver Education Anytime YOU,Rl5 ready. MAUDE R.
