fmiTiEmiics r What is mathematics—another equation, story problem, figure? To the students at Niles North mathematics is an exciting and worthwhile subject to learn. It deals with the work of models, the intelligence of computers and the manipulation of calculators. The mathematics department purchas- ed a new terminal computer which is an outlet of the main computer located at Niles West. It is used to acquaint students with the func- tions of a computer. “Math is essential to the development process. It is an everyday function. It supplies students with enough information to build on later.” — Bruce Pivar. 22

TfiMinrrr Students at Niles North take one lab science in order to meet their science requirement for gradua- tion. This can be achieved by tak- ing any one of a variety of science courses. This year a new science course was offered. The course is Ideas and Investigations in Science Physical Science. It was instituted because many of the students who took IIS Biology wanted a second year of science. The class primarily consists of lab work. “So far we are pleased that most of the students that took IIS Biology have gone into the Physical Science class.” — Ms. Fugiel
