This year two new text books were used by the fresh- men for a new aspect in freshmen Math. Math AB was changed in the respect that it was taught in the terms of the new math.’ The department felt this step was necessary since most incoming freshmen were oriented in the ‘new math.’ Another change in curriculum brought a course offer ing geometry AB or geometry for freshmen. New models were used in the trigonometry, and algebra section and conic sections for geometry for further class understanding. New films and film strips are added to the visual aid library for the different math classes as well as new texts for second semester math analysis, which includes math logic, vectors, analytic geometry and functions. The Math Department in the future plans to have lec- tures given by college professors in the various classes and extensive participation by students in national math contests. £ MRS. SALLY GALLAGHER Mrs. Eleanor Mueller is concerned with a student who does not understand the work. Reacting to an algebra question are Ed Jaber, Tom Okamoto, and Ron Coffman.
