Mathematics chaUcngeb In order to prepare more students for careers in a scientific age, the mathematics department enlarged its curriculum to meet the increased needs. General Mathematics I and II provided the fundamentals for non-college bound students, while Algebra I, Algebra II and plane geometry met the entrance requirements for college-bound students. Advanced algebra, trigonometry, and Math V—a pre-calculus course—prepared some for advanced college placement and enabled others to meet rigid entrance requirements in the diverse fields of engineering. The mathematics department at WHS trained stu¬ dents in logical thinking through many programs of study. Business education students received training in commercial arithmetic. General math courses provided students with basic fundamentals, while the supplemen¬ tary courses offered the college bound student funda¬ mentals in advanced programs. Mathematics MR.

After these basic principles had been mastered, students proceeded to a study of compo- ition, research papers and oral reports. The study of English carried us through the pages of American literature as juniors, and further inspired our development in the realm of literature. English IV broadened our knowledge of English literature, while advanced courses provided enrichment programs for superior students. 27
