department adds two ■« r , -1 , uepariiiiem auus iwi JVl3.tll courses, one teacher There was a new look in the Math department, as Mr. Robert Lovell moved to head of the department and Mr. Randall Liechty joined the math staff. Mr. Liechty taught fun- damental algebra and geometry along with basic math. Also new were survey math and basic math, offered for the first time. Both courses were aimed at helping students understand why and when applied problems work. Mr. Donald Hunter took over ad- vanced algebra, directed mainly to juniors, Mr. Hunter also taught basic and fundamental algebra, along with Mr. By Hey and Mr. John Stauffer. Mr. Hey taught algebra and sur- vey math while Mr. Stauffer taught geometry. Seven hundred and eight students were involved in math. That is 46% of the school. This figure is consid- ered good in comparison with other high schools, according to Mr. Lovell. Mr. By Hey quizzes his algebra three class on their homework, and prepares to write correct an- swers on the board. Mr. Hey also teaches survey math, which is new to the department. Mr. Don Hunter is demonstrating the use of a slide rule to his sixth period algebra three and four class. Aiding Mr. Hunter are Junior Brian Nonnemaker and Senior Dwight Thomas.
