HISTORY Ignatians go! a taste of history in nearly every subject: Salvation History in religion; classical life, and times in Latin; America's past through its literature in English; and courses in the history of the world, of America, of modern Russia and of Asia. The first-year student studied world history to get an overall view of conditions which shaped our present culture and civilization. He began to develop his own ideas rather than merely digest the thoughts of others. The second-year course centered on the history of the United States in detail. The sophomore examined the problems and the solutions of our nation's early years, using the Constitution as a main source of reference. Thus he came to a fuller realization of our country's struggle in becoming and remaining a world power. Although history was not a prescribed course for third-year and fourth-year students, some juniors and seniors qualified for an Advanced Placement course-the study of Modern European History. This course counted as college credit if they did well in an examination at the end of the year. Other juniors and seniors took either the Modern Russian History or the Asian History course. Both of these courses were new additions to the curriculum this year. MR. ADRIAN B. KARMAZYN History 2; Russian 3; Russian History 4; I.M.A. Fr. Shea explains world economics to AP history students.

MATHEMATICS MR. FRANK J. BITZAN Algebra 1; Geometry. Hard worker keep up Mr. Lewi ' reputation. Mathematics isn't just a mass of unrelated numbers and figures; if is a unified language with many applications to everyday living. In its essence, it offers to young minds a challenge and fascination in the realm of functions and number systems while inviting them to explore mathematical structure method. During the course of his four years here at St. Ignatius, an Ignatian does explore this world-from undefined terms to calculus-as he and his fellow Ignatians are offered one of the finest math courses in the area. A freshman's introduction to algebra takes the form of sets and basic number properties; whereupon, he works up through polynominals to graphs. The year ends with a taste of trigonometry and geometric functions. An Ignatian's second year of math concerns itself with the study of both plane and solid geometry. The knowledge acquired in this course, coupled with that of the first-year algebra, gives a student the solid background he needs to study advanced algebra and analysis in third and fourth years. As a junior, an Ignatius student tackles advanced algebra and trigonometry. As the year progresses, he becomes acquainted with various number systems different from our own. Included in his studies are trigonometry and other types of graphs not required in his previous courses. The fourth-year math course gives a choice to a student. He may take either introductory analysis or an advanced placement calculus course for college credit. And when an Ignatian completes his four years of mathematics, he has truly profited from his venture within the magic kingdom of numbers. MR. GEORGE G. DESCAMPS, S.J.
