The rules of math that we take for granted were not always known. They were developed by people in the past and we have inherited them. Here at McKinley we have a wide variety of math courses: Plane, Solid, and Analytical Geometryg Elementary, In- termediate, and College Algebrag Trigon- ometryg and Applied Math. These courses offer a solid foundation for college work, and excellent training for those who ex- pect to go into business.

A mound of reddish earth in Canada be- comes a million automobile bodies - a traffic jam in New York. A carpenter's son dies, three small ships leave a port in Europe, or a man signs a paper - and hundreds of years later we live differently, and think differently, because of it. The Social Studies department gives us an appreciation of the events which shaped our world. me . . gig- ,gs Q X ae K t t suv if s
