Mr. James Lovell gives extra help to geometry students having trouble with a difficult problem. Other students, having already mastered the problems, work independently. Mathematics, Science E£SE™=r The Math Department provides stu- dents with the opportunity to take five years of math. The fifth course, advanced mathematics, is taken in the senior year, along with trigo- nometry. Students taking advanced math did so on a self-study system. College-bound students were en- couraged to take four years of both math and science, while others were urged to take at least two years of each. The science program has undergone vast changes in the past two years. Courses were handled on an alter- nating lecture and self-study basis, utilizing individual lab set-ups. The program was initiated to allow stu- dents to become self-reliant. It enabled those students who needed help to obtain it, while those who didn ' t had free time for individual study. Advanced biology, a course studying chemical and biological relationships, was added to the science curriculum this year. 24 Mathematics Mr. Charles Clark, Math Department head, gives answers to problems involving geometric series as his advanced algebra students grade their papers.
