Toby Pugh explains the use of a slide rule. INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY Students instructing? Yes, in Miss Boynton's fast Inter- mediate Algebra and Trigonometry class, the tables are turned and students teach topics of their own choice. The standard principles of algebra are, of course, taught by Miss Boynton, but additional topics, such as the slide rule, probability, permutations and combinations, are taught by i her pupils. The advantages of this system are numerous, the most important one being the need for the instructing student to know his subject thoroughly and to convey it to the class. Trigonometry is taught the second term after the stu- dents have taken Regents in algebra. Mrs. Ludwig watches as students discuss the use of fractions CONSUMER MATH Students in Mrs. Ludwig's Consumer Math class work fractlons, percentages, buying and selling. From their to maintain and improve their ability to understand basic studies, they gain an appreciation of practical and tech- mathematics by studying the number system, decimals, nological aspects of everyday life. 51

Ghana is the subject in Mr. Mulvihill's World History class. WORLD HISTORY 101 The aim of every World History class is to broaden un- derstanding of today's world through the study of past civilizations as well as through modern cultures. To ob- tain an enriched knowledge of history and therefore an increased understanding of the world situation, Mr. Mul- vihill's 101 class uses a college textbook. This group also de- votes a part of the year to an intensive study of Africa and the Far East since these areas are so important in current aff airs. RISE OF NATIONALISM Rise of Nationalism is an elective course offered to stu dents in the eleventh or twelfth year. This course empha- sizes the geographical background of Asia, Africa, and South America. It surveys the political and economic events in the newly established Asian and African nations more completely than can be done in a regular history course.
