- A Taste Of College Three R ' s Go To College The college bound student hod it rough. The courses taken were more difficult than most and in- volved much time and worl . College algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and analytical geometry were the advanced math courses offered at PM and were designed to prepare students for the type of math they would encounter in col- lege. Writing term papers involved many long hours in the IMC re- searching, outlining, and taking notes. Writing for a specific purpose helped improve skills by writing on various literary works. Fortunately, no cases of writers ' cramp were re- ported in either class. Physics helped students under- stand inventions of modern times such as television and radio. The class was patterned after college courses required in many fields of study. The first year of foreign language orientated students to the lan- guage. The next years involved much more grammar, which gave students problems whether it was in French, German, Spanish, or Latin. Students soon realized that even offer the long awaited graduation, there were still four years of notes, tests, and forgotten assignments. Also known, was the fact that the best courses had been taken to prepare for those years. Mr. Clore ' s trigonometry class poses as a three dimensional human graph. In Mr. Brouillette ' s physics class, dem- onstrations were always something to look forward to. 136 College Bound
