Formulae and equations are old friends to Thomas Jefferson's mathematics students, who have the opportunity to be- come proficient in algebra, plane and solid geometry, Trigonometry, and commercial mathematics. In every case, the curriculum is intended to illustrate the value of mathe- matics in practical application. An introduc- tion to calculus and analytical geometry is this year being presented in an accelerated section, an experimental course of which Thomas Jefferson is justly proud.

DEP RTME Thomas Jefferson has more sections of chemistry than does any other Dallas high school. The course it- self offers studies in organic, quantitative, and bio- chemical fields. Physics, the study of the nature of matter and energy, embraces the fields of acoustics, optics, thermo-dynamics, electronics, and magnetism, as well as nuclear and atomic physics. The biology course is presented from an ecological approach, with emphasis on human inter-relationships in the world of nature. There is also some history and philosophy of science included, as a foundation for later studies, aswell. CAPTAIN THOMAS L. MORING Military Science B.A., B.S., M.
