MATH CHANGES WITH THE TIME This year, for the first time, Modern Math is being taught on a wide scale at T.C.H.S. This type of math is designed to help students understand theories of mathe- matics. This is essential because of the increasing impor- tance of mathematics today. Basic and Secondary Math give a review of the fundamentals of mathematics through the eighth grade. Algebra l-2 is concerned with formulas for finding unknown quantities. Mr. Onderdonk Geometry deals with reasoning and logic. Using axioms and theorems, students discover why formulas are appli- cable. Algebra 3-4 is a review of Algebra l-2 and Geometry with additional mathematical applications. Trigonometry teaches the functions of angles and the application of this knowledge. Some students, having taken Algebra l-2 in the eighth grade, are able to study Calculus at Pasadena City College while still in high school.

The Science Department has a difficult job keeping up with all the discoveries being made. Basic Science offers a general in- troduction to the various branches ot science. Chemistry is concerned with the types of matter which make up our universe and with the relation of one type to another. Students perform la- boratory experiments to test reactions of chemicals. Physics deals with energy, matter, and motion. This is an advanced course for students who are interested in science.
