At the Latin School the problem of solving perplexity is done by the small, but adequate staff of Fr. Mader and Mr. Mueller. During the Freshman and Sophomore years, math is a re- quired course with Algebra in the first year and Geometry in the second. During the junior and senior years the more inquisi- tive student may try his luck at Advanced Algebra, Analysis, and Calculus. Mr. Mueller covers the freshman Algebra class while Fr. Mader, with his years of experience fully controls the other four classes. Most students find the classes enjoyable even if they are not fond of Mathematics. The atmosphere is light but serious. Students are encouraged to have fun but take their work seri- ously. 1 rn O Co

This task is accom- plished by the well informed Mr. Joseph Pollman and Rev. Mr. Hilderbrand. In the Freshman and Sophomore years the students are introduced to foreign living conditions in World Cultures. The Junior year proves to be interesting as he can learn about the early American habitat in American History. The Senior year proves to be most interesting as he can choose from seven areas of studies. The most interesting of the seven are Government, Sociology, and Economics. The thing about Economics is that the word money makes people listen. Also offered are Social Problems, Political Science, Current History and American Per- sonalities.
