In a forward nation such as ours, where the knowl- edge of mathematics is so important, it is only fitting that our schools should prepare the future leaders of our country to meet this challenge. Thus, stress has been placed on the study of math at Murphy. Mur- phy's math department prepares students for college qualification or the pre-college or business world as it offers two years of algebra and one of plane geometry. Solid geometry and trigonometry are also available for those students planning to make their careers - in engineering or similar fields requiring mathematical experience. Even though higher study is necessary for entrance to these fields, these basic courses are adequate for further pursuit. Mrs. W. Reynolds ucation Ih roua concert trail ion Mrs. M.
