K. Kopin, C. Jones, J. Nightengale, and J. Tate look at a three dimensional model in a solid geometry class. C. Green, E. Johnson, C. Perry, and R. Suggett examine a cone in geometry class. 16 The Mathematics Department at Tilden is one that every Tildenite can be proud of. The minimum of math that can be taken at Tilden is two years or four semesters, but for the enterprising student up to four semesters of extra math can be taken. One of the two required courses in this field is algebra. The other required course is plane geom- etry. For the advanced mathematics’ student, there is solid geometary, and calculus. A graduate of Tilden who has taken four years of mathematics knows that the mathematical abil- ities he acquired at Tilden will bring vast oppor- tunities to him in the future.

SOCIAL STUDIES The courses offered in Tilden’s Social Science Department extend over a wide range; such as world history, United States history, economics, and contemporary American history. Through these different history classes the student ac- quires a strong understanding of the difficulties that have troubled the world in the past. The student learns the different causes and remedies of previous failures in governments and so bene- fits in the future from them. It has been said that one can only understand the problems of today by seeing them in the light of past events. R. Richmond points out where the Declaration of Independence was written to R. Smalik and T. Swan- son. Mr. William Mr. John Harwell Murray L. Savage, C. Rudauskas, and R. Tribue notice that anci- ent architecture resembles that of our present day White House.
