Gladys Hoelzle, and Kathryn Mun- son. ako Your Problems To Them! iF YOU WERE to ask an aviation cadet or a midshipman what high school subjects prepared him most for his entrance exams, he would have mathematics high on his list. Such is the importance of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and general math. Phoenix Union High Schools mathematics staff is larger than many Arizona high school faculties and they are qualified with years of experience and preparation. Moreover, students who have no idea of entering the engineering or the armed services, find increasing interest in math as taught here. Ordinary household marketing presents opportunity for good use of mathe- matics . , . the housewife who sews for the family, uses her training in mathematics. And don't forget that annual chore, your income tax returns! MATHEMATICS: Enioying a moment of leisure away from the strain oi mathematics are Iean Thompson.
