One of the most stressed subjects taught in high school today is math. This additional em- phasis for the most part can be attributed to the “race for space.” Yet everyone — not just engi- neers and other technical people — needs a work- ing knowledge in mathematics. Everyday clerical and office workers, doctors, teachers, housewives, and mechanics use arithmetic and fundamental algebraic principles. You substitute 1-sin for cos- collect terms, and the sides become High school offers a limited number of courses ie ard. in math, but there are courses beneficial to busi- ness pupils as well as to the college-bound student. For those who are planning on jobs after high school, Huguenot offers general math and senior arithmetic. The college preparatory student may select from algebra, plane or solid geometry, or trigonometry. identical.

Is it a mad scientist? No, it is only Mr. McNeer with to hide from, Mr. McNeer? In the past decade many advances have been made in science. The polio vaccine has been created, Sputniks have spun around the earth, the hydrogen bomb has been exploded, and man has orbited the earth. However, the future holds even more astonishing discoveries —- man on the moon, the cures for cancer and the common cold, and new discoveries about the past. Somewhere in the halls and laboratories of Huguenot there stand students who will help answer these mys- teries of science. Huguenot gives them every chance to find their talents. A student begins by taking general science in the eighth and ninth grades. A bright eighth grader accelerated to the ninth grade class, may continue his studies by taking biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced science. In addition to what he gains from text books, his course is enriched by lectures, experiments, and special research projects.
