As a sup- plementary course, modern history, the story of pres- ent-day civilizations, challenges sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These courses serve as prerequisites for the juniors' study of U.S. History which instills into students a deeper realization of American heritage and culture. Seniors master the civic, social, and eco- nomic aspects of government in Problems of Democracy classes.

To teach systematic reasoning, to stimulate the mind, and to show thought and logic in seemingly insoluble problems are the aims of the mathematics program at IHS. In this modern world where science is of ever-increasing importance, good groundwork in math- ematical concepts is essential in all education. Working with equations, signs, and symbols, first- year algebra students learn the rudiments of the sci- ence, while second-year students delve more deeply into its principles. Geometry students study dimensions of various plane iigures and learn the rules of deduc- tive and inductive reasoning. Seniors continue their interests in trigonometry and solid geometry and ex- plore some of the fundamentals of modern math, a new approach in the teaching of mathematics. Juniors Anna Erdman, Martha Gephart, and Sally Idler begin another attempt to solve a difficult problem in Algebra II.
