This department has been expanded to meet the needs of college-bound students. Several advanced courses are available to stu- dents with superior mathematical ability. Among these are trigonometry, Algebra III, analytical geometry and introductory calculus, and the com- bined course in plane and solid geometry. The latter enables a small percentage of students to complete the requirements for plane and solid geometry in one year instead of the three semes- ters usually required. Advanced as Well as reg- ular classes are available in Algebra II and plane geometry. A new mathematics laboratory was installed in Room 208 at the beginning of the school year. This laboratory is being used experimentally by several advanced mathematics classes. Classes using it have been observed by representatives of other school districts in North Carolina.
