Mathematics is important to everyone, and Marion High School has developed a program for training students in various branches of math. Courses are offered in such subjects as shop math, commercial arithmetic, and algebra. Students may also receive instruction in plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. This program helps develop students who can cope with the math problems of today and it also teaches students how to think more clear- ly about problems which arise. Collecting leaves and wildflowers, studying the combination of elements, and experiment- ing with the diffraction of light are all con- nected with the science curricula at Marion High. Included are such classes as narcotics, psychology, electronics, physical science, aca- demic and basic biology, chemistry, and physics.
