Since early times it has been a fundamental method of communication from one man to another. It is a language but it contains no words or phrases. It is a universally accepted language consisting of addition, subtraction, division, and hundreds of other mathematical figures. Therefore, it is no wonder that MHS has offered for many years and still offers various courses of math. Geometry, Algebra I and Il, senior math, and calculus are included in the diversified curriculum. Head men in the MHS math department are Mr. Carl Harris and Mr. Harry Heckelthorn. Mr. Garth Werner complements them by teaching three hours of Algebra. Harris' class is nothing but laughsfl Mr. Werner flashes his familiar grin at the canierzl. 13
