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.

Also, courses in literature are begun, preparing the student for further exploration in this field. ln .lunior and Senior English, emphasis is placed on literature, composition, and expres- sion, rather than on grammar, although this study is broadened too. In Basic English, fundamentals of grammar are reviewed. Speech is a course which develops public speaking ability. The Journalism class puts out the school newspaper, while the Yearbook class produces the Templar. Both of these classes give students many and varied chances to be creative and effective in English usage. nn- 1K km, tx 5 If ' igtwggwsftttt., y Miss Godwin Mr. Hiscox Mr. Marsh English 5-8 English 5-6 English 'l-2, 7-8 K 24
