HELEN MARIE HULCHER B.A., U. of Richmond M.S., U. of Richmond Mathematics There are three definite tracks in the mathematics courses offered at John Marshall. Those students who are both very able and willing are selected in the sixth and seventh grades and are given an accelerated course in arithmetic. In the eighth grade, they have first year algebra, which they follow with intermediate algebra in the ninth grade. Next they have plane and solid geometry together in their sophomore year. When they are juniors, they study trigonometry, college algebra, and analy- tics. Their senior year is given over to calculus. For the regular college preparatory diploma, and for those students in the elective course who wish to choose it, John Marshall offers the traditional two years of algebra, plane geometry, and either trigonometry and solid geometry, or trigonometry and college algebra. The students who do not elect these courses may choose general mathematics in the ninth, tenth and eleventh grades. The mathematics in every course is taught so as to help the student discover valuable information and develop a habit of logical reason- ing and critical thinking.

Our contribution for 1962-63 has been the revised full year course for seniors integrating govern- ment, economics, Freedom versus Communism, and foreign affairs. Your scholastic and citizenship record in col- lege, and your active participation and leadership in church, civic, and business affairs will test the practical application of this new effort.
