Science Department l'l'IlOl l' a doubt science plays an im- portant role both in war and peace. ln order to meet the needs for scientific knowledge during these days of crisis, this department offers a variety of courses to suit the academic and voca- tional needs of students. All courses are divided into two areas: Science l and Science ll. These courses are not based upon the usual sequence of subject matter but are organized upon a psychological basis. The courses of study are adjusted to meet the needs of the pupils and the changing conditions of the community. The department endeavors to give every pupil the scientific knowl- edge he will need to be a more efficient individual and a better citizen. Biology, which is primarily a sopho- more subject, is offered to both academic and non-academic pupils. This subject, along with first year physics, constitutes Science l. The second year of these sub- jects, along with chemistry, make up the Science ll program. Supplementing the work in the class- rooun, the pupils enrolled in science classes also take two periods of labora- tory wo r k each week. During these laboratory periods the students work on experiments which deal with the prin- ciples of science pre- viously ta u g ht in classroom sessions. Girls interested in nursing take course l2S3, commonly known as household chemistry. Practi- cal applications of chemistry in relations to both nursing and household duties are learned in IZS3. The courses of the science department are being constantly modified to keep them timely as well as informative. Under the leadership of john Manzer, head of the department, the teachers of science throughout the state convened at Trenton High this year to discuss meth- ods and procedures of teaching science to pupils of varying needs. The department this year welcomed the return of lNlr. George Nl. Krall who spent one year in Hawaii as an exchange teacher.

Mathematics Department l'Z.XI.lZlNt: the need for mathematics in all branches of modern society, this department offers its students an op- portunity to obtain a knowledge of this subject in whatever field it may be re- quired. Courses of mathematics are pre- sent-:d in two programs: One to meet the requirements of college preparatory stu- dents, and the other for the needs of industrial-arts classes. There is enough variety in the courses for the students to select work which is best suited to their abilities, needs, and desires. 'l'he sophomores have a choice of first year algebra or plane geometry. A very select group is taught logarithms and the fundamentals of trigonometry. ln the junior year, the students may take inter- mediate algebra, while the advanced stu- denis are taught both intermediate alge- bra and plane trigonometry. Seniors may enroll in solid geometry, plane trigonom- ctry or advanced algebra classes. ln the senior vear a course in Social lXlarhematics and a course in Consumer Mathematics are given for those who will need a review of arithmetical processes and their applications for future occupa- tions. These are half-year courses. A special half-year course is being planned for those boys who wish to qual- ify for officer-training courses or for bet- ter positions in defense industries. NVith the outbreak of hostilities, the mathematics department revealed itself to be perfectly attuned to the needs of he emergency. Immediately a course in the mathematical phase of aeronautics was formulated and offered to all students who possess the nec- essary qualifications and might wish to enroll later for ser- vice in the air corps of the army or navy. Special courses which cover mo r e th a n the required work are also of- fered to students. J. uyllffllf'-V Col-liton
