Mathematics • • • Kings of Calculation Daniel Jankelunas Algebra Calculus Mathematics Department Chairman Mathematics Club Math League Raymond Adams Geometry General Math Bowling Club Mary Campbell Algebra Geometry Mathematics plays an important part in the progress of todays constantly expanding world of knowledge. P.H.S.’s mathematics department, whose chairman is Mr. D. Jankelunas, strives to fulfill the mathematical needs of all students. With courses in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, a student’s understanding of math is gradually increased. In Algebra I, students learn to apply the basic properties of the real number system. Next comes Geometry. Through deductive reasoning, concepts of plane figures are developed. Congruence, similarities, and other areas important for later math and science are studied. If Algebra I and Geometry are completed successfully, a student may choose to continue with Algebra II, in which the study of polynominals is continued and an emphasis is placed on relations and functions. These three courses are climaxed by the study of vectors and angles — Trigonometry. Geared to fit the needs of the individual, math courses operate on three levels. For the mathematically superior student advanced courses are offered which cover the areas in greater depth. Calculus, a college course, highlights this program. In addition to the regular program, general math courses are offered to prepare students for business and certain trades.

Science ... Seeds of Skill Sanford Schepps Chemistry Science Department Chairman “Ideas” With its emphasis upon facts, experimentation and action based on evidence, science suggests procedures that encourage reflective thinking and inquiry necessary to a free society.” This is the science department of Paramus High School, whose chairman is Mr. Sanford Schepps. Biology, chemistry, and physics are the three divisions of the science department. Biology embraces the study of the origin, history, characteristics and habits of plants and animals. Chemistry studies the principal theories of matter and elements. Physics explores such natural phenomena as matter, time, space, light, motion, and the nature of electrical energy. Each year, students from the three divisions or areas participate in the Science Congress. Term projects are prepared and twenty are presented by the students to the public and fellow students.
