MR. CHARLES BLEVINS Konnarock, Va. U. Va., Young-Harris College, Berea College Algebra II-Trig., Functions and Matrix Algebra Dep’t Head Remember, always do the work in the brackets first. Modern Math Teaches Students New Thought Concepts Finding unknowns is really quite easy. Modern math, now being taught at Edison, has enabled many students to learn to think and to work with abstracts. College bound students con¬ tinue from Algebra I and II into the more advanced courses of Matrix Algebra, Functions, Calculus and Analysis. The main objective of the Math Dep’t is to give all students a basic understanding of math¬ ematics and its many functions today. MR. WILLIAM CRATE, JR. Joliet, Ill. Ill. State U.

Art Dept. Stimulates Students ' Interest in Culture An Art Student may explore painting, sculpture, drawing, and other media in the art courses offered at Edison. The art de¬ partment has displayed much of the students’ work on bulletin boards, display cases, and in the art hall a small display of one or more students’ work. The goal of the Art Department is to develop interested stu¬ dents’ ability in all art media and to teach the appreciation and complete understanding of the principles and elements of both modern and earlier art periods.
