Mathematics has many angles. It has intrigued mankind throughout the world since the beginning of time. Since 1900, modern math- ematics has been an important contributing factor to science and philosophy. Books on arithmetic began to appear after the invention of printing. This proved beneficial toward rapid development. Frac- tions, assumptions, polynomials, and square roots are now an essen- tial part of our number system. The Mathematics Department of Roosevelt High School includes arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. With all the tech- nological advances in computers, which are based cm numbers, it is necessary for students to obtain a good understanding of mathemat- ics. In addition to the constant changes in math itself, several new teachers were added to the staff this year. These were Mrs. Ferris, Mr. Lesselyoung, Mr. Lopez, and Mr. Fisher. They tried to explain the complex world of math so the students could understand and reach future goals. The Math-Science Club sponsored by Mr. Pollingue took a trip to the Museum of Science Sz Industry to observe science in action and the efect industry has on our world. They also met to review math so they could do well on an important math test given by the coun- seling department. if Q-mr' --.nu .W Laid, vs A 1 -mf.: pm ht -- .W .vifaiff V un ning: nw mf nl I-wwi , - nntp' H7555-fn r numqn :hen-5-1 .v.?,..

Several students attended a federally sponsored program pertaining to the characteristics of successful leaders. The class was conducted at Roosevelt by Mr. Todd. During the school year, numerous students from Economic and Social Problems classes attended conferences each month in Chicago. Students from many other schools assembled and a qualified panel of experts lectured on a wide range of world affairs. Among the topics discussed by students after the lec- ture were a U.S. and China detente, Apartheid in South Africa, Relations of Red China, and Freedom of the Press. The program was sponsored by the Chi- cago Council on Foreign Relations. A program concerning unions was also made available to interested students. Informative meetings were held on Saturday mornings to discuss and resound on the influence and importance of Unions in todays economical society. Mr. Torhan, the supervisor of the East Chicago Social Science department, was the enthusiastic supporter and initiator of this and all the other projects.
