Mathematics Daniel T. Jankelunas Mathematics Department Chair¬ person, Advanced Placement Mathematics, Computer Science 1, Mathematics Laboratory Mr. Robert Connolly Algebra I, General Math Jo Friedman Algebra II, Algebra I, Logical Thinking, Geometry, Senior From Adviser For the first time in Paramus High School’s history there are four grade levels covered in the Math program. Four new teachers have moved up from the junior high schools to help ease the load created by this transition. Under the direction of Mr. D. Jankelunas, department chair¬ person, some changes have been made. Most notable among these is the inclusion of a math lab for those students who wish to improve their skills and abilities. For those students looking toward the future, the department offers fine courses in com¬ puter science. In the Math Study Center, one of the busiest in the school, there are two computer terminals for this purpose. Learning is accomplished in each math class where practical applications of knowledge are not a rarity. Development of the logical mind is achieved in one of the high school’s best departments—Mathematics.
