The hope of pursuing a career in math is an ambition of many students. Choice of this field as a life's work must be built on dili- gence and study in high school. The main objective of the math teachers is to help the students to think for themselves. Courses that are offered range from Basic Math to the advanced study of Trigonometry and Calcu- lus. Basic Math offers a back- ground for further work in calcu- lating and business, while Algebra and Geometry courses provide ex- perience in exactness. These varied areas of study not only build the thinking power of the individual but make up the Mathematics Department in our school today. Students in an Algebra I class check their homework by putting examples on the board

G rl Arousing curiousity and impress- ing students with the importance of the scientific method is a major goal ot the Science Department. Although new text books are being used this year in many classes, the teachers bring in much extra material to keep up with new scientific discoveries.
