Mathematics ♦ ♦ Ageless Concepts ♦ ♦ Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus and other practical math courses complete the curricula in the wonderful world of mathematics at Paramus High School. Students may study at their own level, as the mathematics department, under the direction of Mr. D. Jankelunas, offers courses to fit the needs of both regular and advanced pupils. Challenging and interesting ideas are explored in the classroom. During the year several contests are held under the auspices of the department. These offer an accurate measure of students’ knowledge acquired in the various fields. Membership in the Bergen County Math League also offers extra opportunity for outside competition, in interschool meets which are held throughout the year. Under the guidance of the expert teachers in the department, math becomes alive and stimulating. Daniel Jankelunas Mathematics Department Chairman The cos of 60 is Vl ' ■ Mr. R.

Social Studies ♦ ♦ Record of the Past ♦ Documents, maps, charts, and films are only a small part of the material employed by the Social Studies department to plan a well-rounded, stimulating course of study. Superior teachers offer a wide-variey of courses to the interested students. Not only the required two-year sequence in American History but courses in psychology, sociology, geography, political science, civics, economics, and world government are offered. Debates, lectures, and open question and answer periods add to the enjoyment of the social-studies curricula. It is not at all surprising to look into a history class and notice the teacher and students engaged in an argument over a point being discussed in class. It is a credit to our social studies department that they not only teach democratic ideals but practice them in the classroom.
