The college preparatory club first taught Advanced Algcbr Mathematics has been called the tool with which we may unlock the complexities of the modern world: but our world is changing rapidly, and math- ematics, too, must change. Our newest program offers five years of math to some students, a year more than the traditional courses. Fifty-one juniors had completed two years of algebra and geometry and this year took advanced algebra and trigonome- try. Next year a new course will be created for them, Introduction to Analysis, which will include analytical geometry and some calculus. Enthusiastic students of logic were not content with the mathematics learned in class, they found two other activities to occupy their analytical pow- ers: Chess Club, sponsored by Mr. Muller, with 27 members this year, and the newly organized Bridge Club, sponsored by Mrs. Valdes, with 24. While Bridge Club fervently practiced the cult of Goren, Chess Club acted as missionaries of reason, bring- ing their logical processes to the nine other high school teams in their league on Friday afternoons. Depnrtments 121 each member the intricacies of the Goren point count system, bidding and playing, then the club members went on to sharpen their wits and skills at making grand and little slams in rubber after rubber. a, Trig Draws 63 Mrs. Vivian Osiasz Plane Geometry, Consumer Mathematics Mr. George Thompson Algebra 1, Algebra 2 Mr. Kenneth Tilton Algebra 2 - 'ff mk , .
