Knowledge, Stimulate Thinking In our new atomic age, science and mathematics have become significant facets of our education. Minnehaha has considered this factor in developing an inclusive curriculum for its students. General science introduced the Freshman student to this area of study. Biology included the examination of plant and animal kingdoms and was supplemented by actual lab work. Chemistry, an elective for the upperclassmen, presented the relationships between the various elements. Physics offered Seniors the opportunity to understand the principles governing the universe. Elementary algebra, the arithmetic of signed numbers and literal terms, as well as practical math, was offered on the ninth grade level. Plane geometry students examined geometric figures and mathematical study, and were introduced to the consideration of trigonometry. Solid geometry and trigonometry, one semester courses, prepared preengineering students for college. Business math was provided for those Seniors who were interested in the commercial fields.
