MATHEMATICS Amusing? Chandeliers. Accuracy! X i . ' Ji Q fr Mrs. Estaline Waters and Mrs. Nina Oliver Brumfield keep their Plane Geometry classes busy learning new theorems, constructing geometric figures, and explaining illustrated problems. As extra projects the classes worked on original geometric designs and chandeliers. Mrs. Brumfield also teaches advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, and Solid Geometry. Mrs. Frances Iacobson has drilled her students persistently all year on the rudiments of general mathematics. Percentages, income tax problems, and various calculations are no longer bugaboos to those mastering her practical course, Math II. That's a fancy figure. Floyd! Mrs. Iacobson checks a Math II assignment.

LANGUAGE Nearly two hundred students wishing to become bilingual are enrolled in the foreign language department, which in- cludes Spanish I and II, taught by Miss Consuelo Fernandez, and Latin I and II, di- rected by Mrs. Virginia Collins. To acquaint young people with the language, history, and traditions of other nations is the primary aim of the four courses offered. It is hoped that a deeper understanding will be gained of foreign cul- tures, which in turn, will decrease tension in a world of many complexities during this mid-20th century period. Spanish students enjoyed celebrating Pan American Day in April, while those tak- ing Latin have made posters and have pried into the lives and works of Roman states- men and authors. u . .. Mg - 1.1.
