He felt that this two year course would be the same as algebra, but it would give the students more time to learn. Mr. Bill Battle said that the students are far more advanced than last year. He credited better motivation and the schedule as possible reasons forthis. We should be flexible, require only one year, and encourage others who want to advance, said Dr. Bennie Link- hart. He also felt that 'the math depart- ment should make continuous revisions so that math will be more meaningful to those students who want to go fur- ther in the field of math. 92 ACADEMICS: CURRICULUM SCIENCE: I think the grading system is very fair: the emphasis is on learning and not the grade on the report Card, said Junior Ami Feber. The unique system of grading by sta- nines was favored by ninety five per- cent of the students. Some advantages to this type of system were: closer student-teacher relationships' and in- dividualized investigation. Mrs. Dorothy Engel and Mr. Ken Torger- son wrote an article for the November issue of the Science Teacher, a national magazine.
