CLASS ES . . occelerofed For the past two years Washburn has ottered acceler- ated and enriched math courses tor above-average students who are college bound. By taking an acceler- ated math course, one can earn a year and halt's credit in one year. Sophomores who begin this course now will be able to take a year ot college math when they be- come seniors. The present seniors were able to take only one semester ot college math because the accelerated program was not in etlect when they were sophomores. Accelerated classes are given in geometry, advanced algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry. Students in these classes are able to cover more advanced material and have the advantage ot a richer background in mathematics. It is hoped that in the tuture students will be given recognition by colleges and will be exempt trom tresh- man math. Acceleration leads to this. CLARENCE HEGG: Band, Orchestra. MRS.

READING CLASS . . . ropid improvement A course which is becoming increasingly popular at Washburn is the developmental reading class. This is a voluntary course open to anyone who is interested in improving his vocabulary and reading skills. The aver- age and above-average readers are encouraged to take this course because they are the ones who will protit most. When a student begins the reading class, he is given The Triggs Diagnostic Survey Test, which determines his individual reading slcills. The student can then be given reading material suited to his needs and ability. A survey taken of students enrolled in such a course showed that most students retain 7570 ot the slcills they learn.
