Theorems, Equations Confuse Future Mathematicians Rulers, compasses, protractors, solid objects, and slide- rules are among the instruments used by math students. General math, plane and solid geometry, algebra, and trigonometry were the math courses offered at North Side this year. One unit of math is required for graduation; however, many students find it necessary to develop their math skills further in preparation for future vocations. This semester one of the teachers taught his geometry class using an experimental text and technique from Ball State College. General math furnishes students with a basic background in arithmetic. Solving equations with unknown values is the main objective of algebra. Geometry acquaints students with the mathematical relationship of solids, surfaces, lines, and angles. Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Such are the courses offered to meet the in- creasing demand for mathematical skills in today ' s world. Exhititing the many figu familiar.

' Skins Get Recognition, Benefits from Extra Efforts Recognition Day is the high point of the academic part of the year. On this day an assembly is held to recognize those students who have achieved outstanding work in their courses during the year. Receiving an award or honorable mention on Recognition Day is the goal which may provide the incentive for Redskins to work and study to the best of their ability. Ribbons are awarded for excellence in specific courses. Plaques are awarded for such honors as valedictorian and salutatorian; trophies are given for such things as debate, a foreign language, art, and speech. .Another form of recognition at North Side is the D.A.R. Good Citizen award. The recipients of this award as selected by a vote of the Seniors who take into consideration the qualities of dependability, leadership and patriotism. The honor roll is also a form of recognition. To be on the honor roll one must raintain at least an A minus average in all subjects for a nentire semester. North ' s Three Year Honor Roll consists of those students who have main- tained an A minus average for all three years at North.

Pupils Acquire Better Habits from Books and Films Driver ' s training, health, and family living are courses offered at North Side to aid the students in the everyday aspects of adult life. During the semester of training and practice, most stu- dents develop the confidence and skill required of good drivers. Last fall two new teachers joined North Side ' s Driving Department along with a new addition of a 1963 Ford Galaxie. One year of health is required to be graduated from North. Students taking health learn basic facts about the human body and how to keep it functioning properly. Family living classes attempt to prepare studetns for the problems encountered during adult life. Students also gain a better understanding of how to acquire a more rewarding relationship within the family from their family living classes. Four health students, exploring the insides of the school ' s model of the human body, seem intrigued at the complexity of the structure.
