New math course offers opportunities for 'Ridgers The Math Department offered one new course this year. It was General Math Level 2, taught by Mr. Thomas Bresnahan. This course was for students who had had General Math 1 81 2, but were not strong enough to enter Algebra. This course could also be taken by freshmen who had taken Prep Math in summer school, but were not yet ready for Algebra. General Math Level 2 could also be taken as a substitute for Algebra. In the past, there have been as many as three math clubs at Shortridge. Now there was only one. Mr. William E. Gibson, department head, expressed a wish to re-start another club, but student support was needed first. Due to lack of funds, the Shortridge Math Department did not participate in the Rose- Hulman Math Contest the past year. The Math Department did engage in two math contests. The first was the National Math Contest in March. The other was during Marion County Math Day. Students in each level of math from all the high schools in Marion County participated.
