The increasing complexities of our way of life, ac- companied by an extended reliance upon science and mathematics, indicate that the well-educated citizen should have a knowledge of the sciences that provide some foundations for much of our progress. As the growth of civilization depends on progress and change brought about by scientific discoveries, it is most im- portant for today's student, as a link in our culture, to acquire a well-rounded background in these fields. Therefore, the purpose of the courses relating to sci- ence and mathematics is to provide the fundamental principles in subjects such as basic mathematics and general science to the more complicated branches of chemistry, physics, algebra, and advanced mathemat- ics. As we now live in the Space Age, it is important that we can apply this subject matter to an increasing num- ber of newly developed occupations in these fields. Not only are science and mathematics important to our future, but are also applicable to our daily lives: with the complexity of society increasing, so must our minds expand to meet the status-quo. 18

Included in the yearly pro- gram are basketball, soccer, football, tumbling, gym- nastics, dance, volleyball, wrestling, and golf. Art encourages understanding of the basic principles of design and color and promotes self-expression, creativity, and experimentation that leads to an appre- ciation of art. Speech class helps develop the ability of public speaking. Emphasis is placed upon gaining confidence in speaking, being able to be an attentive listener, building a better speaking vocabulary, and being able to speak with poise. Music — general music classes, band, and vocal mu- sic — offer the study of music history, development of the singing voice, more skill in playing an instrument, and knowledge of a wide variety of musical styles.
