History The History Department works to prepare students with an understand- ing of past events in order to develop a better future. To present a more contemporary atmosphere, nearly all the courses are now half-year elec- tives. This year, seniors had the choice of four such courses, all of which dealt with current affairs. Each one is geared to acquaint the students with problems they are sure to encounter. Also added this year were a course in Labor and Management and a study of American History through arts and crafts. Both have been successful. Awards given by the department are 'for excellence in History, Excel- lence in U.S. History I, and Excellence in U.S. History II. Caro! Kadi A.B.

Math Raymond Gebauer B.S. Lehigh University Seeing Math as a necessary function of life, the Math Department works to prepare students to meet this challenge. The department feels that both the Math major and the average con- sumer can benefit from courses in probability and simple Algebra. The number of computer classes have also increased this year to meet the demands of the computer age. In addition, students from the honors courses, Calculus and Advanced Probability, are eligible to compete in the “Mathelete” program. Held once a month, this program brings together students from all area high schools. They are given the same problems to do, and the school with the highest number correct is the winner. In June, scholarship awards are given by the Board of Education and the Math Department. 26 Barbara Johnson B.A. Barbara Kolojay B.A. Montclair State College Trenton State College Robert M.
