Mathematics How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adopted to the objects of reality? --Albert Einstein To help our students adapt to these objects of reality, our curriculum offers Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra Il, for ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. ln the twelveth grade, Trig- onometry and Elementary Analysis are available. General Math and Commercial Math are also available to meet present high school graduation requirements. Strange as it may sound, the power of mathematics rests on its evasion of all unnecessary thought and on its wonderful savings of mental operations. --Ernst Mach r 5 , r 'Il ll' Mrs. Kate Nichols GEOMETRY, ALGEBRA Mr. Dean Nolan ALGEBRA Mr. B.
