This is advantageous since mathematics is even more important today than it has been in the past. The two rooms of the new high school are filled with new ideas and concepts that stimulate thinking. The department, which has expanded during the past year, not only provides instruction in the various branches of this subject but also has its own library. The Advanced Mathematics course is available to those seniors who plan to further their interests in fields of mathematics. In this day and age where many things are done by computers, many hundreds of people are needed to program and supervise the functioning of these machines. Also, many jobs are available for math teachers who will help mold the engineers and scientists of the next generation. J. Richard Wagner Mr. Gougler interprets sine curves in Trigonometry.

Keim Science and Department Head Darkroom specialist Doug Dietrich enlarges some photographs, Science department in accordance with the recent emphasis on science throughout the United States is well equipped to provide the students of KAHS with the type of educational experience that both the public and institutions of higher learning are demanding. The pleasant atmosphere and layout of the rooms in which biology, chemistry, and physics are studied are conducive not only to learning but to teaching as well. As stated by the head of the department, Storage and effective display of the tremendous amount and variety of equipment necessary to teach science always posed a prob- lem. We feel this need has been adequately met in this new plant. Another teacher of these subjects feels that, If all the facilities are used to the utmost, a student should be able to secure a sound scientific background. l Charles Z.
