Knowledge of Mathematics sed if : Q 2 1 8 FACULTY O Orville Evans Printing Francis Fallon Manual Arts Margaret Foster English In toclay's worlcl there is increasing em- phasis being placed on mathematics and science. This emphasis places responsibility on the teacher as well as the student. At West our faculty is willing to contribute its talents to aid and encourage the student. This interest shows in West's many clubs: Math, Science, Biology, Radio Clubs and JETS. Several progressive programs are being adop-ted. West now offers Accelerated Math in eleventh and twelfth grades. There is an advanced Biology class, and plans for simi- lar classes in Chemistry and Physics are being made. A new program in math centers the teaching on reasons theories work rather than on the use of the theory in solving problems. Mr. Willis Iones, Mr. Wallace Bondhus, and Miss Pearl Sheclcler are served refreshments at the annual Faculty Christmas Tea.
