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

yl,'I'll0l'GIl physi- cal vigor is be- i ng emphasized at present in a nation- wide campaign by the Office of Civil- i an Defense, th e Physical liducation Department has long been eager to have the students keep healthy in both mind and body. l'nder its tutelage, pupils in 'lirenton lligh School are developing sound bodies by participating in care- fully planned activities. Sports in accord- ance with the season of the year are pro- vided for every student. Girls' classes have a choice of hand- ball or hockey in the fall. During the in- door season, basketball, service ball, and swimming are the most popular activi- ties. ln addition to these activities, all the girls begin to make preparations for Sports Nite. ln this affair every girl is enabled to have an active part in the three-night demonstration. 'llhis year the Sports Nite program won the plaudits of educators throughout the state for its suc- l,4'lx'oy Smith . f , . . . Physical Education Department cessful motivation of exercises and activi- ties developing grace and poise. To encourage competition among the boys, varsity teams are cond u c ted throughout the year. ln the fall, the boys may attempt to qualify for the varsity football, soccer and cross-country teams. During the indoor season they partici- pate chiefly in swimming, basketball and wrestling, while tennis, track, and base- ball constitute the spring sports activities. As an outgrowth of these activities, var- sity material has been readily developed for T. H. S. teams, which have garnered several championships in recent years. By promoting mental and physical hy- giene as the goal of the students, this de- partment has done a commendable job in making every student health conscious. Thus, the welfare of the student, which is most important to public morale in time of war and peace, is safeguarded by a group of well-trained, interested teach- ers. Although the program of physical edu- cation department is concerned with physical welfare of the student, there is also due regard for mental health. lift. li .. lltlt to iiglill lmiliiiile lwittllliriiili.
