The traditional algebra and geometry courses pro- vided a basic training in advanced mathematics, While the accelerated classes in college algebra, analytic geometry, trigonometry, and statistics stressed the theory and modern con- cepts of mathematics. Analytic ge- 28 ometry and calculus were honor courses offered only to seniors. The National Mathematics Exami- nation Was administered to all stu- dents enrolled in accelerated pro- grams and any other who wished to take it. Scores were based on a tabu- lation of results over the entire nation. Top-ranking students from SHS were recognized at an assembly at the end of the year. Carl Windisch William Bauer

Seienfzfic Discovewes Necessjmfed Cowie Revision This year in the Science Depart- ment there were many interesting courses from which to select. Courses were offered in General Biology, Physiology, and Zoology. In the field of Physical Science the courses were Physics, Chemistry, and a Unified Physics and Chemistry course. For superior students interested in Biology, a Research Biology class was offered. This class, conducted by Mr. Wind, was designed to enable stu- dents to utilize facilities within the community in pursuing research pro- jects. Everybody who takes this course submits, along with his general work, a research paper. Outstanding papers are entered in the District Science Fair in jacksonville. Some progress to the State Science Fair in Champaign. Others are submitted for Ford Foundation Awards. Dale Baldridge Dwight Morrison 30
