Douglas Waterman is demonstrating a con- struction in geometry as Mrs. Smith and her class observe. Therefore, in the Marionville High School the goal is two-fold, First to provide a program of mathematics furnishing the training in a functional approach necessary for competent citizenship. Second to provide suitable courses for preparing the foundation for those who may be our scientific and technical leaders of tomorrow. Betty Schaefer is explaining her project in Biology as Larry Matney, Harleen Kasinger and Mr. Redus observe. MATHEMATICS At no time in the history of our country has there been a greater demand for people highly trained in mathematics. It is reasonable to expect this demand to increase because the great advancement in the scientific world has created a shortage of trained mathematicians. A vast majority of our students have goals in life which do not in- clude the necessity of training in the advanced fields of mathematics. However, it is our responsibility to provide adequate training for the minority group with exceptional mathematical ability who will take their place as future leaders in research, industry, science, and math- ematics. Charolette Blades and Jamey Parks indicate interest as Paula Norris points out the co- ordinate of the point she has located in an algebra class demonstration. SCIENCE There are three science courses offered at Marionville High School this year: biology, general science, and chemistry. In this modern world science is a vital course to the individual. lt is important that these courses be offered in high school for those students that are planning to go on to higher education. Science is essential in everyday life. The entire science can be looked upon as a story of achievement from small and crude accom- plishments to the big jobs of today. 12 C
