Histor Relates the Past and Present Being surrounded by the na- tion's capital where world affairs are the main topic of conversa- tion, IHS students learn to ap- preciate the structure of their government and its functions. Beginning with Mforld His- tory in freshmen year, the stu- dents established a firm founda- tion built on earlier civilizations. This is followed in junior year by U.S. History which enables them to appreciate the origin of their country and its struggles for freedom. Having developed their back- ground this far, by senior year they are prepared to delve into P.O.D. and Modern History. Now, having finished the structure of social studies, IHS girls have the capacity to apply their knowledge to present day problems. The P.O.D. class prepares for their weekly discussion on current affairs as Sue Bowers passes out the U .S News dr World Report to Marcia Daidy Donna DeFinis, Kathy Hufnagel and Mary Mazzuchi

Mysteries of athematics Fascinate Eager Minds In the science of numbers, formulas, equations, symbols, signs, and sines blend together to foster systematic reasoning and to stimulate the math stu- dent to mental alertness. Encountering the complexi- ties of algebra, first year students acquaint themselves with literal numbers while second year stu- dents delve more deeply into algebraic concepts. Mental alert- ness grows through inductive and deductive reasoning in ge- ometry. Besides studying trigo- nometry and solid geometry, seniors investigate the ever in- N 'inf creasing theories of modern mathematics. After determining that sides arc unequal, Celina Neves labels the triangle scalene and turns to class for approval. Senior Pat Skowron shows classmates, Lourdes Valdes, Silvia Cervino, and Leslie McKnight how to graph the familiar sine curved familiar. that is, to trig students!
