Miss Patsy Y. Dean HPE Madison ColIege-B.S. Mrs. Gloria M. Milbourn HPE Mary Washington College-B.S. Margaret H. Birch HPE Madison College—B.S. GYM DEPARTMENT PARALLELS PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAM. Madison’s Health and Physical Education program is devoted to improving the bodies as well as the minds of its students. Daily physical exercise keeps students in fit condition throughout the school year, and the knowledge gained from health classes and driver education classes is a valuable asset to our daily life. Some changes have been evident in the Health and Physical Education Department. Many students are participants in the new after-school bowling program. This program is a welcome addition to Madison’s list of activities. Next year the driver education classes will be given only in the sophomore year. The department believes that, as the course will be given closer to the time at which students obtain their licenses, the students will receive more benefit from the program.

MATH TEACHERS ENCOURAGE Mathematics is unquestionably one of the most important elements of Madison’s curriculum. The student who does not possess an adequate foundation in some field of mathematics will have a difficult time competing in our increasingly mechanized world. Computer math and calculus are offered to the student who is motivated to explore the realm of more advanced mathematical concepts. However, much attention is also accorded to the average math courses: algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Thus, general math and advanced math both have their niche in the educational process. When a student has a sound foundation in mathematics, he will discover that the principles which he has learned are applicable to other subjects and to everyday life. Logic, accounting, scientific formulas, and typing are all influenced by mathematics. Whether mathematics is studied for its pure essence, or whether it is studied in order to open doors to other fields such as architecture, engineering, or economics, the fact remains that mathematics forms a pertinent feature of our lives.
