MATHEMATICS A philosopher once remarked that the real truth can be expressed only in numbers. Al- though a bit exaggerated, the statement does point out the fact that like any language, math- ematics communicates ideasg however, it ex- presses them with a logic and precision that no literary language can duplicate. Therefore, it is the aim of the Mathematics Department to give each student an opportunity to under- stand and appreciate the beauty and utility of the language of numbers. All students learn the basics of mathemetics so that they may become productive members of our society, whose technology continues to expand at an exponential rate. Those students with the ability and desire to explore the subject in depth may take ad- vanced courses that will aid them in their fu- ture studies and careers.

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION 'AAA ' fj, , Z,A rr Jef The Latin expression mens sana in cor- pore sano might well serve as the guiding principle for Bartram's Health and Physical Education Department, since Ha sound mind in a sound body is the goal of the curriculum. Health classes not only teach the structure and function of the human body, but also in- form students of the latest developments in personal hygiene, reproduction, nutrition, dis- ease-a voidance and a host of related subjects. The physical education program gives ev- eryone, regardless of size, weight, or sex, the opportunity to improve his strength, stamina, and general well-being. An important adjunct of this instruction is the sports program. All students are given the chance to learn a life- time sport that may be pursued into middle age and beyond. ln addition, the interscholas- tic sports program is second to none in the area Bartram can always be counted upon to field teams whose performance invariably takes them to the top levels of every competition.
