MATHEMATICS Instilling into each student the ability to perform basic and complex operations was the goal of the mathematics department this year. General math supplied the fundamentals, but because math is the language of science, excelled courses were necessary to fulfill the needs of the science-minded student. Riverside provided a diversified program which helped each student to prepare for the future by offering courses in Business Math, Algebra, Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry. This program, plus an outstand- ing teaching staff, gave each student a sound math- ematical background. Let's see-if only we could find the value of X. Mr. Allan, Bob Anderson and Jeff Dwyer. HEALTH To be healthy one must know the fundamentals of good hygiene and the basic make-up of the human anatomy. This leads to a better under- standing and regard for the soundness of the body. Through the health courses, the students were led along this path of knowledge. Textbooks, models, and films were used to enlighten the mind on the subject of health and its many sub- topics. Having learned a multitude of informa- tion concerning their bodies, happier and health- ier individuals were created during the course of the year. 30 FRANKLIN R. BLANCHE C.
