New Math Program Proves Successful Mathematics assumes an ever increas- ing role at North Side. This year one of every nine students is enrolled in an advanced mathematics course. To ac- commodate this increasing desire of higher math, this year the department offered a new course and altered an older one. In its initial semester topics in modern math, which is used as a freshman course in many colleges, is offered to students who have already completed eight semesters of math. Solid geometry is combined with some advanced alge- bra as the geometry itself does not merit a full semester of work. Conventional courses, algebra 1 and 2, geometry 1 and 2, trigonometry, and general math re- mained unchanged. After finding the answer to a quadratic equation, Tom Stoeck- ley, with the help of Mr. McNeely. checks his work by graphing the equation during his algebra 5 class. 23
