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.?,..

The University of Chicago was the site of a Science Open- house attended by Roosevelt's chemistry classes. The partici- pating chemistry scholars Were exposed to a film and lecture of the birth and existence of celestial bodies. Also on the agenda was a tour through the University's Oriental Mu- seum Which houses numerous Egyptian and primitive artifacts. This field trip and others like it are designed to stimulate student interest in scientific areas of life. It helps to pro- mote the study in which man discovers his relationship to the Wonders of the World. This, in itself, is the essence of natural science.
