Moth World Foscinates Students Mathematics isn't just a mass of unrelated num- bers and figuresg it is a unified language with many applications to everyday living. In its essence, it offers to young minds a challenge and fascination in the realm of functions and number systems while inviting them to explore mathematical method. During the course of his four years at Notre Dame, the student does explore this world-from undefined terms to calculus-as he and his fellow ND students are offered one of the finest math courses in the area. For instance, in algebra the student is introduced to sets and basic number properties and later Works up through polynomials to graphs. Geometry gives the student more back- ground which is needed for the advanced courses while in trigonometry the student becomes ac- quainted with various number systems. Finally, for the elite mathematical students, there is the ad- vanced placement calculus course for college credit. Yes, when a ND student has completed his years of math study, he has truly profited from his ven- ture within the magic kingdom of numbers. 26 Mr. James Berch Mr. Robert N avetta rf 2 4- ivY:.:, 352 - .

Adds Meaningful Courses One of the goals of the ND English depart- ment is that its students cultivate language skills and develop an appreciation 'for past and contem- porary literature. In keeping with its policy of adding meaningful courses to the curriculum, the English department introduced such courses on the freshman and sophomore levels as Power in Com- position in which the students not only studied grammar but also mastered sentence and para- graph constructiong the Art of Communication course taught by Mr. Hall gave ND students to learn about the impact of the mass media on their daily lives. Also, a Junior Great Books and a Short Story course were inaugurated. One of the A new courses- introduced on the junior-senior level was the Nature of the English Language in which students explored both the his-- tory and development of the English language from past to present. All in all, the ND English depart- ment has again provided a curriculum whereby ND students can develop not only an understanding but also an appreciation for the English language. Br.

Here, Mr. Mastey diligently reviews the answers to a problem in one of his math classes. LEFT: With an air of disbelief, Mr. Berch wonders how one of his students could get into the calculus class without knowing the multiplication tables. FAR BOTTOM LEFT: Taking one of Mr. Lynch's tests can be a grueling ex- perience as these students laboriously work out the answers to an exam while Mr. Lynch watchfully looks on.
