LESS THAN, GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO With a two and a half year requirement in mathematics, students realized how complex numbers could be. From the not-so-tough world of general math to the advanced “hair raising” courses in calculus, students saw what seemed to be a never ending process of the pairing of num- bers with letters. Baffled students were helped out by their in- spiring teachers. From Mrs. Jeanette Gaskin’s overhead projector to Mr. Edward Oglesby’s sympathetic words, students realized that math wasn't so bad. Jenkin’s math students can look back and remember such tragic words as deci- mals, radicals, and the dreaded polynomials. The mathematics department was headed by Mr. Oglesby. The core of his department includ- ed Mrs. Jerry Williams, Mrs. Emma Sanders, and Mrs. Jeanette Gaskin. Mrs. Jane Linahan gave support to the math program as the A MSP teacher. The remedial math classes were taught by Mrs. Vivian Milledge. In addition to these Jenkins veterans, Mrs. Elaine Williams, Mrs. Doris Caughran, and Mrs. Kay Jackson joined the math department.
