Eric White d0esn't know the answer, but he keeps smiling- maybe he has a comic book stuck between the pages of his algebra text! Shh-I'm thinking! I know cones and cylinders, triangles and squares, but what is that? Susie Sanford and Rusty Hoefgen study depth, area, and puzzling objects in Geometry. A definite emphasis has been placed on the knowledge of mathematics and science in the past few years. Most students enjoy learning facts, equa- tions, experiments, and figures. Dr. Henderson, science supervisor, has made biology, general science, chemistry, and physics vital to his students. Supervisor of the mathematics department, Dr. Bush, has helped many students with all phases of basic mathematics, algebra, and geometry. In our changing world, it is essential to keep pace with science and mathematics to meet challenges of the future. WILLIAM JACK BUSH, Supervisor of Mathe- matics, received the BS degree from Arkansas A8cM, and the PhD from Arkansas University. He sponsors Eighth Grade and Student Council.

Essential to all Americans is a detailed understanding of their English language. This knowledge was obtained by Greenwood students through the emphasis on grammar, composition, and literature during English classes. English was a required course during the seventh through eleventh grades. Mrs. Baird taught grades eight, ten, and eleven, along with the elective courses of Senior English and Speech. Students were taught to speak fluently and better understand their language. Latin is the basis of all languages, thus the classes-taught by Mrs. Rice proved to be a worthwhile combination. Latin-English, required for eighth graders, taught the re- lationship of the two languages through the use of deriva- tions. She taught Latin I and Caesar for those who wished to continue their study of Lating also English for grades seven and nine. nt, t' A Speech class tour through the A Building attic brings on a serious moment.

Senior English students are really putting that gray matter to work as they try to remember just which letter it is that should be doubled-is it dessicate, or maybe desiccate ? Mrs. Baird pronounces the words for the spelling test. Tom Cox, Candy Campbell, and Sussie Nall are hoping to pass on their first try. VIRGINIA CRAIG BAIRD, Supervisor of Eng- lish, received the BS degree from SMS and the MA from Arkansas University. She sponsors Tenth grade, Cub Standard, Dramatics Club, and directs all speech work.
