The Educational Side
Mathematics
Stimulating our mental abilities as well as our
interest are the various mathematical courses
offered in our high school. Angles, polygons and
circles dance in our heads as Mrs. Nina Brum-
field, Mr. D. T. Goodin, and Mrs. Estaline Waters
familiarize us with the principles of Plane Geom-
etry. Mrs. Brumfield also teaches Solid Geometry,
Trigonometry and Algebra, which are the more
advanced mathematical courses.
For those with a commercial future in mind
Business Mathematics is taught by Mrs. Francis
Jacobson.
An open house for the parents each s'pring
brings exclamations of wonder at the mosaic-
like windows and electrically lighted chandeliers
constructed from brilliantly colored cellophane
and cardboard.
With a great splurge of energy and hard
work, students transform room 201 from an
ordinary classroom into a delightful display
showing the unique application of the principles
of lines, angles and forms. The mathematics fair,
in its eleventh consecutive year, has gained
national recognition for its extraordinary con-
structions and designs.
The entire student body and community take
deep pride in Mrs. Nina Brumfield's unusual ex-
hibition of geometrical creations.
Charles seems to be holding every
one's attention except Mrs. Waters'.

Biological
cience
The world around us is infinitely more
fascinating than we have ever guessed, The
miracle of a raindrop and the beautiful sym'
metry of a butterfly's wings are displayed
before our wondering eyes in the study of
Biology.
We become better acquainted with the
study of nature by making collections of
insects and wild flowers.
We are aided in learning about the in-
tricate parts of the human body by plaster-
of-paris models and lifesize diagrams and
drawings.
Each day brings new discoveries and inter-
ests to the classroom. Lively discussions and
debates on every imaginable phase ot life
can be found in Biology class.
Mr. Robert Goins helps us in discovering
these wonders of nature.
Ph sical
Science
Initiation into laboratory work begins the
day we strike a match to a Bunsen Burner.
From basic formulae to the atomic theory,
we investigate the realms of Chemistry.
Mr. Goodin also has 35 boys in a physics
class. Study of man's first invention of the
wheel to present day theories of flying
saucers is fascinating and up-to-date.
As spring rolls around, we complete our
exhibitions and enter the annual science
fair-the big event of the year.

For knowledge alone students do not attend study
halls in Ardmore High School. For personal help
with subiect matter, for individual tutoring in ex-

in the use of library materials-these are the privi-
leges for every student every hour.
Mrs. Blanche Sparks is not alone in this study-
supervision program as each teacher has one hour
each day for supervised study, therefore the know-

From Silas Marner to noun and verb forms,
sophomore English students have an equally
divided course of literature and language.
Simple composition is a part of the grammar
emphasized by English ll teachers, Mrs. Eliza-
beth Lawrence and Mrs. Estaline Waters.
To better understand and appreciate our
America is the purpose of studying American
literature from the colonial Washington Irving
to the present day O'Henry. Mrs. Waters, Mrs.
Sparger and Mrs. Shirley Clement stress creative
projects to further the study of American writing
in English lll.
English
In the classroom of Mrs. Sparger such master-
pieces as "Macbeth" are thoroughly studied by
English lV students. College-bound seniors learn
the fundamentals of formal writing by the re-
quired 2,000 word research theme. Developing
and building habits of good thinking and study-
ing are taught throughout the entire course.
The English V classes taught by Mrs. Marie
Morse are primarily for students who wish a
detailed study in grammar and spelling. Empha-
sis is placed on improvement of individual
outside reading, vocabulary building and both
creative and oral expression.
Our English teacher from Aggieland,
Mrs. Clement, confers with an up and
coming student.

son.

First-year students are "speechless" as they
perform before the class for the first time,
but are considered experts when the semes-
ter ends. Topics for informative orations range
from hot rods to theaters.
Pantomimes, public speaking, interview-
ing and dramatics describe the program of
study outlined by Mrs. Shirley Clement, speech
teacher. Phases of parliamentary procedure,
speech construction, selling and program plan-
ning are also given a thorough study.
Throughout the year students journey to
various clinics to present dramas, original
orations and poetry in competition with other
schools.
Promoting debating, oratory, speaking,
dramatics and radio announcing are the
purposes of the National Forensic League.
Hours of practice are required to think for
one's self, to forcibly present a convincing
argument and to receive advanced speaking
skills. Students who attain a certain profici-
ency in debate and speech may become
members of the National Forensic League.
J
Journali
Any subject from any source at any-
time is covered in Journalism, so broad
is the scope of news writing. We gain
valuable experience in gathering, or-
ganizing and presenting news stories
by writing for our News-of-the-air, the
Daily Ardmoreite and High School High-
lights column.
Newswriting has its own unique
terminology, known only to us, the
editors, reporters and printers of to-
morrow. Common everyday words such
as grapevine, flag and morgue come
to have entirely new and sometimes
humorous meanings in regard to news-
writing.
We find that Journalism demands
thought, time and energy. There are
rich rewards for those pursuing this
profitable profession. The John F. Easley
5500.00 scholarship is given to the most
outstanding Journalism student.

Commercial Arts
Expert stenographers, secretaries, bookkeepers,
and typists of the near future are found in
abundance in the Commercial Arts department
of Ardmore High School. These industrious stu-
dents spend long hours practicing Shorthand and
Typing, then further their skills in Stenography
and Transcription when they are upperclassmen.
From telephone courtesy and business behav-
ior to personal attractiveness and being indis-
pensable to their future boss-all are stressed.
No detail that may profit a commercial career
is excluded from the course.
Work-sheets, debits and credits, and balancing
column after column of figures is only a very
small part of the Bookkeeping course taught by
Mrs. Louise Akers who is also the Stenography
and Transcription and Shorthand instructor.
Improving our knowledge of Business Mathe-
matics is Mrs. Francis Jacobson. This course re-
views and reminds us of the fundamentals of
mathematics from the everyday use to the more
professional application.
Each month the Ardmore Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Club, with the advice of Mrs.
Akers, selects from the Commercial Arts classes
an outstanding girl to be honored as Business-
Woman-of-the-Month.
First semester Business Women-of-the-
Month are Ethel, Janice, Mary Lynn,
and Pat, who are well on their way to
high paid secretarial professions.

Elected by the Business and Profes-
sional Women's Club for second semester

Music Theor
To understand and enjoy the music of the
old world masters as well as modern com-
posers is the aim of students in the Music
Theory department.
Through the use of records and tape record-
ings we study a series of composers and
analyze their varied works, both classical and
semi-classical. Also at varied intervals the
students receive valuable instruction from Mr.
Pankratz concerning harmony and fundamen-
tals of music. Though Music Theory was of-
fered in Ardmore High School for the first
time this year, its success insures it of a per-
manent place in the school curricula.

Home Economics
With Mrs. Busch giving us supervision and moral
support, we Home Economic students mix, bake and
eat the various foods we prepare in our modern
kitchens. Our cooking is supplemented with theory
on menu planning, nutrition and marketing.
The opportunity to study fabrics, clothing styles,
color composition and sewing techniques helps us
when the clothing proiects are begun. In the annual
style show we wear the clothes that we make in
class.
Mrs. Busch has Home Nursing and First Aid classes
also.

Driver's Education
"Depress the clutch, shift into low, signal . . ."
This became automatic with us as we progressed in
Driver's Education. With the instruction and super-
vision of Mr. Eugene Todd, we learned the "how
to" of driving safety. By seeing instructive and enter-
taining films as added attractions to the course, safety
was constantly stressed.
Sixty students passed driving tests to become mem-
bers of the Safe Driver's League first semester and
seventy-five the second semester.

Cafeteria
The answer to every teen-ager's prayer is a
recreational place like our cafeteria. For mixers after
basketball games the cafeteria provides students
with a party room where refreshments can easily
be served and music enjoyed.
Many dinners and banquets are held in the spa-
cious room of our cafeteria.
The main purpose of the cafeteria, which is under
the management of Miss Maurine Coleman, is to
serve lunch to junior and senior high students daily.

Thanks to Priscilla Smith, our first Student
Director, this Criterion is now in your hands.
Her spirit of enthusiasm and willingness to
tackle any task set before her made Priscilla
a lifesaver in every sense of the word. Her
ceaseless devotion to the production of this
yearbook inspired all of us to work harder
to do our share in making this a good
Criterion.
Ardmoreite Staff
The public is kept constantly aware of the events taking
place in Ardmore High School by student-edited news
stories appearing in The Daily Ardmoreite. Every news story
submitted by student reporters is polished carefully before
publication, so that it may have that professional touch.
Of special interest is the "High School Highlights" column
which is produced entirely on the Journalism pupils' initia-
tive and originality.

THE ARDMORE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS STORY
Ardmore eleven, paced by scrappy all-staters Larry
Bahner and Ronnie Smith, victoriously sailed to a
three-way tie for Boomer Conference Champs after
falling to two of the top teams in Class Double A.
Fifty boys, mostly seniors, turned out for the team
and twenty-six were awarded "A" letters. Receiving
their third letters were Bahner, Givens and Dunning.
Other honors bestowed upon several deserving Tigers
were selection to all-southern and all-conference
teams.
ead Coach
Newly elected Boomer Confer-
ence Head Coach, C. E. "Tip"
Jacobson, has produced winning
teams for the six years he has
been in our athletic department.
Whenever you have a group of
boys who have a sincere desire
to work, combined with a coach
whose leadership is such an inspir-
ation as Coach Jacobson's, you
will certainly have a successful
team.
This year the Tigers ended the
season in a three-way tie for first'
place in the Boomer Conference.

Producing c h a m p i o n basketball
teams for Ardmore High School is the
specialty of Coach Bob Williams. This
year as the Tigers completed a win-
ning season, much of their success is
attributed to his coaching ability.
Along with training the boys in the
skills of handling a basketball, Coach
Williams also stressed the qualities
of sportsmanship, spirit and co-oper-
ation. During his five years of coach-
ing and teaching at Ardmore High
School, Mr. Williams has become a
favorite with team members and
the student body.
