MR. EMERY A. ALBEE, A. B., M. A., Chairman of mathematics department, algebra, trigonometry, senior class Special Courses Varied For Able Math Students MATHEMATICS ln this age of higher education, mathematics is an important subject for college-bound students of Mount Clemens High School. Today, many of them realize the vocational opportunities in the field of mathematics. General math is offered to the student who is unsure of his ability to handle algebra without first brushing up on basic math principles. Algebra is the first step a pupil takes into the field of higher mathematics. Here he learns to think in abstract terms. Solid and plane geometry teach a student how to reason and plan the geometric steps in a direct and orderly fashion. Trigonometry deals with meas- urement of and using triangles and methods of tri- angulation. FACULTY FACTS I 9 coach MR. CHARLES EVANS, B.

Mount Clemens High School is no exception. Natural history, biology, chemistry, and physics are available to all students. Serious-minded students are doing well to prepare them- selves in this branch of studies. The demand for science majors is increasing every year, and the opportunities in this field are unlimited. With the increasing interest in higher education, the colleges and universities cannot accept all applications. Generally the student with a good scientific background, as it is offered at Mount Clemens High School, has an excellent chance of getting into the college of his choice. The students of M.C.H.S. have taken a new interest in the scientific courses. There are more biology, chemistry, and physics classes this year than ever before. FACULTY FACTS MR.
