Our Mathematics department has played in proper rhythm. The teachers of this depart- ment have had an important part in strengthening our minds in preparation for our future. As it takes a blending of notes to create a beautiful symphonic composition, so did it take a blending of ideas of several mathematicians to bring to us the knowledge we desire and need in order that we be successful in the occupations we have Dlanned to undertake. New courses had to be perfected and old ones streamlined to make our Mathematics depart- ment a strongly organized unit, Heading the department was Mr. Dwight M. Griffith, shown in the picture above. Also in the picture are Paul Vandereike, Helen Plaum, Eileen Bowling, Albert Dennis, Mary Elizabeth Waggoner, Laura Heyd, and Lenora Broadhead.
