ln a Technological World Math Shows its Importance as the Supporter Cf Science Pat Garrison delivers a report in calculus class. The practice of having students report to their class requires that they have a secure knowledge of the subject. Mathematics has become indispensible to the sciences in today's technological explosion. Cybernet- ics, based on mathematics, makes the enormous amount of data collected by the science meaningful. Statistical research seeks to find reasons behind un- explained events. Many of the more complex aspects of electronics, cosmology and genetics can be ex- pressed only in mathematical terms. Because mathematics is such an important part of many areas of endeavor, every Waterford student must complete a two-year course. Mrs. Martha Wales and Mrs. Elizabeth House, have been added to the staff. Beginning and advanced algebra, geometry and trigonometry are in the curriculum of college prep- aratory students so that they may have a good basis for further study.

English Literature Preserves An Awareness . QS Concentration is a necessityg Colleen McDougall searches for meaning in Huckleberry Finn. THOMAS DORSEY Of Human lclentit Ideas form the basis for the understanding of the universe. In an increasingly complex life, clear, logi- cal thought is more important than ever. A major objective of the English Curriculum is to teach stu- dents to think logically and to express their ideas clearly in a world where language is often used to manipulate men's minds and emotions. But there is an even broader objective, to preserve human values and the dignity of the individual in a mechanized society. To fulfill these objectives our teachers emphasize reading and composition so that the student may per- ceptively interpret the experiences of mankind through literature and express his thoughts and ideas with clarity and force.
