Mathematics Evidences of geometric patterns are everywhere. A person cannot pick up a magazine or newspaper Without seeing some form of design. Displayed here before this group of Math students are some intricately designed paper plates made by plane geometry students. .law-1-ff: ', X' From the ninth grade on through high school each student must answer the question of how much Math to take. To answer this question you need to know the im- portance of Mathematics in everyday living. Not a day passes that a person does not use Math in some form. Denton High offers one course in plane geometry, two algebra courses, trigonometry, solid geometry, and consumer's math. MISS LOIS AVERITT B.A., M.S. if 'G DOYLE CHRISMAN MRS. MAXIE DIBBLE MRS.

MRS. OPAL HALL B.S., M.S. Speech Think how handicapped you would be if suddenly you became speechless. It would be difficult for you to express yourself and make your wishes known except by writing. Realizing the importance of speaking, the Denton High Speech Department attempts to improve the speaking habits of students enrolled for Speech classes. This is done through confidence gained in public speaking, radio Work, dramatics, corrective drills, and many other techniques. The use of the mirror in correcting speech diffi- culties is often employed by students. They see the operation of the tongue against the palate and. teeth and the formation of the lips for basic sounds. Here a class is reading lines from a play soon to be dramatized by a Speech group.

Vocational Agriculture One of the most vital and basic courses offered at Denton High School is Vocational Agriculture, the study of crops, grasses, livestock, and farm management. In these classes the boys learn how to be men of the soil, the scientific and modern way. What was good enough for their fathers isn't good enough for them, for each new im- provement means greater production and more economical management. Take the grasses, for instance, in the picture below. By studying what grass is best adapted to the surrounding country and which is highest in nutritional value, the boys can better plan their own farms, pastures, and feeds. It falls to the lot of the present generation to restore the land to its original fertility after it has been worn-out by poor farming practices.
