Contribute Practical, Advanced Knowledge corded by sophomores Helga Wehner and Mike Hilton during their Geometry class. The different dimensions of geometric fig- ures are contemplated, discussed, and re- Junior Larry Ridgeway explains the alge- braic expression he has written on the board during his Algebra I II class. An ever increasing knowledge in the field of mathematics is a necessity for the well-educated leaders of to- morrow ' s world. By using deductive thinking many problems that may arise tomorrow can be solved through logical thinking. Courses offered by the Mathe- matics Department are Algebra I II, Geometry, Algebra III IV, Trigo- nometry, College Algebra, and Cal- culus. The two main courses selected to fulfill the graduation requirements of two credits are Algebra I II and Geometry. Students who desire a stronger base of mathematical knowl- edge may elect other complex and intricate courses such as College Algebra or Calculus. Many students take advantage of their mathematics department by se- lecting the five year math plan. How- ever, many students take two, three, or four years of mathematics which will also greatly benefit them in their later vocations as well as many prob- lems that could later arise in life.

Science Courses Offer Variety Of Electives Although two years of science are required for graduation, the wide variety of courses offered by the War- ren Central Science Department caters to almost every scientific interest. Biology and Chemistry courses give an opportunity for laboratory experi- ence. Botany and Zoology allow a thorough study of plants and animals, respectively. Physiology provides knowledge for students who are inter- ested in how the human body func- tions. Physical Science allows the stu- dent to gather general information of most science fields. Physics and Ad- vanced Chemistry are a challenge to students who wish to pursue knowl- edge in more complicated areas of science. Warrenites have found scientific knowledge, such as daily classroom education, is becoming more im- portant as the world in which we live becomes more scientific.
