Math 8 Mathematics in our school today is treated as a science, a language, and an art. The math program in our school offers a wide selection of courses to help the student understand the meaning of these three cata- gories more clearly. As a science, mathematics deals with number, form, magnitude and position. Various courses in our curriculum help the student to under- stand the different relationships among them. As a language, mathe- matics provides a method of expressing these relationships and performing computations. Today's computers tend to play an important part in this phase of mathematics. Only after astudent leaves school and uses mathematics in his chosen field does it become an art. Art is the skill of using a principle needed whenever the need arises. Salamanca Central High School, in its effort to produce capable leaders of tomorrow, does not limit mathematical ideas to the math class alone. Instead, through the Math Department, students are encouraged to apply the principles of reasoning, concentration, and adaptability to all phases of learning. Wat

HE' Faculty and Students: g During the eight years that I have been your superintendent of schools I have thoroughly enjoyed my associations with the students and the faculty of the Salamanca City Central School System. . cy In the five school districts that I have served during the past thirty-eight years, I have found no students more courteous, more friendly, nor more cooperative with the administration. It has been a pleasure working with you. It is pure coincidence that in this, my last year, we have the largest graduating class in the history of Sally High. I hope also that there will be the largest number of Regents college Scholar- ships, other scholarships, and the largest number entering col- lege next fall and staying to graduation. j Looking back to the day that I decided that my career was to be in education, I know now it was the right decision. Nowhere else could I have had the satisfactions that I have had in this pro- fession. I recommend it to students who are still seeking a career for themselves. ' Sincerely, Donald H. Wing Superintendent 4 I 1 r Donald H. Wing, B.A., A.M. Superintendent of Schools William O. Valent, B.S., M.S. High School Principal David M.

Science 8, Sth grade Science X Science '7 Club Advisor ' Science has assumed a great role in our mod- ern world. New technological breakthroughs occur every day. To keep pace with our changing world, our science department has been mod- ernized. The goals of the science department are ambitious but realistic. It strives to develop a better understanding of the natural and physical world. It attempts, through laboratory work, to show the methods used in science. It teaches the students about their bodies a.nd how to take care of them. Futhermore, it strives to create interest in a career in science. These are the objectives of the science depart- ment, whether it be at the Junior High level, where generality is stressed, or at the Senior High level where some degree of specialization is attempted.
