Quest for Quantities Mathematics is essential in solving many of the problems present in today ' s technolog¬ ical civilization. College-bound students may choose from a series of courses which begin in the junior high schools. Algebra teaches how to operate with symbols and introduces the concept of proof. In geometry, planar and spatial figures are studied, and the concept of proof is expanded. Third year mathematics delves further into the study of algebra with emphasis on polynomials and functions. In trigonometry the student works with angles and vectors. Those who wish to study the various branches in depth may pursue the subject in the advanced curriculum which includes the study of calculus and the introduction to statistics. For the business-minded student, practical courses such as General Mathematics and Business Mathematics are offered. Mr. D. Jankelunas, as head of this department, endeavors to have all math courses presented in such a manner as to be enjoyable as well as informative. MR. MARIUS J.

Business • • • MR. LOUIS DI TARANTI Typewriting Department Chairman Let ' s see, I think you ' ve typed your way to an A, Miss H. Gordon happily informs Debbie Cranz in typing class. Preparing students for a career in business is the primary goal of the Business Depart¬ ment, headed by Mr. L Di Taranti. Courses in typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, salesmanship, and merchandizing are designed to teach many of the skills necessary in the business world. Last year a computer data-processing course was added to the curriculum. In this course students learn how to operate and understand the procedure of computers. Employment experience may be obtained in the Distributive and Cooperative Educa¬ tion programs, which arrange for students to attend classes in the morning and spend the remainder of the day on-the-job. Personal Typewriting and Gregg Notehand are also offered by the Business Depart¬ ment. These courses are designed to develop skills which will aid the college-bound student. MR.
