Three very capable teachers comprise our Math de- partment by furnishing Algebra I and ll general math, plane geometry, trigonometry, and solid geometry. A college stu- dent is required to take at least two years of math. The all important sciences: general science, biology, physics, and chemistry are managed by four men teachers. Anyone who survives all four subjects has acquired a great deal of scientific knowledge. An excellent education in the fields of radio and elec- tricity, auto mechanics, machines, and monumental design is provided for the boys on the hill. Spaulding boys are very fortunate in that the experience they receive in these sub- jects is considerably more than other high schools can furn- ish. Those taking this course spend three periods at Spbulding and three periods at the trade school acquiring personal experience.
