Demonstrating math problems is Mr. Larry Arnoldy, a recent gradu- ate of WSU-LaCrosse. To promote a better understanding of math, he encourages constant board work and question and answer periods. Connecting geometry with everyday life is the primary method of teaching used by Miss Jean Otto, who holds a B.S. from WSU-La- Crosse. Surveying adds interest and understanding to the course, Miss Otto also advises the cheerleaders. Having received his B.S, from Mayville State. North Dakota, Mr. Art Oliver is presently working on his masters. He teaches elementary physical education. Coaching B-squad football and wrestling also keeps him busy.
