Social Science (Senior Division) Mr. John Pietrowicz, Mr. Arthur Conro. The Junior and Senior Division History classes are like the Triumph of Man found at the World's Fair. In the Triumph of Man one can stand on the primitive plains of Africa, walk the streets of ancient Rome, or relive the Civil War. In the Junior Division social studies class- room, one can explore the various forms of government. In World History and in Modern History the student finds the history of the world presented in chronological order. The Junior discovers the dramatic occur- rences found in the history of the United States, while the Senior in American History II discusses our country's problems today and the current events of our nation which will eventually be placed in history books. In addition, the Knight also has an opportunity to study Afro-Asian Cultures, economics, civics and world geography. Mrs. Eleanor May (also Latin). Mr. Robert Haskins. Mr. Ralph Harrity.

Junior-Senior Division Mathematics STANDING: Mr. Gilbert Adams, Mrs. Maryann Burden. Mrs. Carolyn Canfield. Mr. John Lukasik, Mr. Robert Young. SITTING: Mrs. Esther Zall. Mr. Malcolm Simpson, Mr. Charles Paglieri. Mrs. Anne Faubl. Now, just what is the difference between an acute and an obtuse angle? Math required in the seventh and eighth grades is a general background for the more spe- cialized courses students will take in the senior high. An Algebra 8 course equivalent to Algebra I, is offered to students capable of handling this. It allows these students to com- plete an extra year of math while still in high school. In the Senior Division many math courses are offered — General Math I, II, Algebra I, II, Geometry, Algebra II-Trigo- nometry, Advanced Math and Calculus. The enrollment for math courses has continued to expand, especially in the ad- vanced courses of Advanced Math and Calculus, demonstrat- ing the Knights' ability to meet a challenge. 18
