Mathematics ls the Master-Key ui the Universe Hath is a tool needed in everyday life. lts importance is increas- ing at North Augusta. Realizing that niatli is necessary for everyday living. North Augusta has always ollered four years of study. but bputnik has Caused more students to select tlie advanced courses. Algebra I and Algebra Il seek to train students to read a problem with understanding. organize the given facts, tlien solve for the evasive Plane geometry teaches the pupil to question wliy? while rea- soning for himself. and to appreciate tlie use of geometric forms in nature and in the works of man. Seniors who study trigonoinetry are encouraged to master nauti- cal. aeronautical. scientific. and engineering problems involving triangles. using logaritlims and tlie slide rule for easier computation. They are introduced to solid geometry. tlien study advanced topics in Algebra.

fa After the explanation of the biology lesson Miss Greene asks Dan Rushton to set up the microscope. In the biology lab Edna Moore and Kathie Smith dissect a crayhsh. Students Probe the Field et Science Understanding the fact that biology is the study of the living world. the sophomores are busy with microscopes, scissors. forceps. and scalpels trying to probe into the living to learn about the anatomical structure of each laboratory specimen. The juniors receive a basic knowledge of chem- istry by learning such fundamentals as the Metric system. valences of elements. writing chemical equations, and making some of the common elements. The seniors are undertaking to discover. describe, correlate and interpret the facts and phenomena of the inanimate world. Some of the problems solved include heat, light. sound. electricity. and machines. The ability to interpret these problems and to carry the fundamentals to any specific field is the purpose involved in the physical sciences. Nlrs.
