Madison's curriculum has changed many times through the years to keep pace with the times, certain courses such as science and his- tory stay with us, because in this era of space and technology, they are invaluable. Biology, general science, and chemistry students delve deep into the mysteries of the universe through dissection, solving equations and experimental laboratory work. Through these things our students find an entirely new world awaiting them in science. History scholars find the battles confus- , ing and the dates difficult to remember as they study the happenings that have formed the world in which we live. As we learn more about other lands, people, and customs, we get a better understanding of our own true American heritage. Then we learn to appre- ciate the country in which we live. Ursula Schilling shows Tom Pogue where she lives in Ge- neva, Switzerland, in World Geography Class. History And Science, More Valuable Than Ever, J. Sherk and |.

English And Mathematics Still The Basic English is a vital part of our lives from the time we first learn to talk. The ability to write and speak English correctly is a definite asset for any vocation. At Madison, English is taught in many various ways; such as, panel discussions, text- book exercises, and speech class. Regardless of the occupation selected after graduation, a basic knowledge of mathe- matics is essential. The student may choose a course in elementary mathematics to gain skill in solving everyday problems, or he may en- roll in the more advanced courses of algebra, geometry, or trigonometry. The fundamentals of English and mathe- matics have not changed through the years. These courses will continue to be taught as an essential part of the Madison curriculum. In solid geometry class, Mr. Horein watches Kay Hayden prove that triangles are symmetrical to Albert Sherk and Bruce Whitehead.
