Mathematics -- Students interested in deepening their knowledge of mathematics will follow one of two programs: the regu- lar, consisting of algebra I, plane ge- ometry, algebra III, and advanced mathematics in sequence, or the accel- erated program of algebra I, algebra III, unified geometry, and advanced mathematics. The unified geometry course was taught for the first time at McAuley this year and integrates the essentials of plane and solid geometry. Here the girls use as study aids every- thing from a miniature basketball and a carpenter's level to carefully con- structed geometric models. The ad- vanced mathematics for seniors in- cludes a thorough study of trigonom- etry, analytic geometry, theory of equations, higher algebra and an intro- duction to modern abstract algebra.

HAROLD GROLLE Physical Education, Athletic Association A tense moment in the upperclass- underclass volleyball game holds the interest of all. Gym classes at McAu1ey are held twice each week. All girls are required to participate in two years of gym and may continue afterwards if they wish. This year girls from the junior and senior classes have assisted the gym instructor in teaching methods. The physical education program has three main ob- jectives. The first is to help girls achieve and maintain lasting fitness through a sound program in physical education. The second is to teach the basic skills of softball, basketball, and volleyball. Third is to foster interest in the recreational sports of swimming, bowl- ing, shuffieboard and badminton. Special activities include a Play Day with Athletic Association members from St. Ursula and an awards assembly and Play Day in June. Intramural program tournaments are held in volleyball, basketball, and soft- ball. There are swimming lessons at the Catholic Club twice a week for all girls wishing to learn swimming or improve their swimming skill. Sixteen bowling teams were organized this year, consisting of eighty girls. The ball never seems to stand still as each team puts it across the net one more time.
