MATHEMATICS DEPARTMEN MR. HARRY BRETT, B.S. Loyola University of New Orleans Physics CPSSCD Math 3, 4 Head Track Coach It has been said that mathematics has developed more in the 20th century than in all the rest of history. Math has grown through research and through the increasing use of computers, which can now solve problems that were once thought to be impossible to solve. At St. Joseph's, stress is placed on the understand- ing ot math as a logical discipline, and students are encouraged to creativity, initiative, and curiosity. The math courses at St. Joseph's include algebra, geometry, intermediate algebra, Trigonometry, and calculus, which is an elective for seniors. Most of the courses are taught by using the School Mathematics Study Group CSMSGJ books, which cultivate the ability to think critically in solving practical problems.

We have become tully aware of the role of science in our lives, and a knowledge of its principles is necessary for all. The science program at St. Joseph's covers four subiects. The freshmen receive an Earth Science course, which increases their general store of scientific knowledge. ln the next three years, the student studies each of the three lab sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. These courses train the student in the inductive method ot reason- ing and enable him to appreciate the symmetry, beauty, and unity ot the universe. MR. CHARLES TIER, B.S.
