Freshmen, required by the state to take math, had two electives this year— algebra and general mathematics. Be¬ cause it was the largest algebra class ever to enroll at Central, it had to be divided. Leroy Cable and Miss Lucille Beavers headed the two divisions. Sophomores got their first taste of angles and proofs under Miss Beavers in geometry class. Math majors in the junior and senior classes enrolled in trigonometry, a subject dealing almost entirely with triangles and required in college for math majors. This class came also under the direction of Miss Beavers. Our Interests Grow As We Joy Yoder and Miss Beavers agree that Reggie Welch’s answer for number two is 4a-4b. Proving theorems is a chore as Jim Brown, Norman Hart, Doveanna Nussbaum, and Carolyn Myers have learned in geometry class. jlDave Isch and Max Egley show Steve Brandenburg how basic trigonometric functions are developed. 12

History Informs Us of World Affairs Although satellites and missiles were important topics in government and history classes this year, the bulk of the time was still spent on ancestry and the present gov¬ ernment set-up. Fridays found these groups catching up on their reading with the current weekly newspapers and voicing their opinions on the same. History, divided into two groups World History and American History, was elective to Sophomores and required to Juniors. Most Sophomores elected to take World History. Government and Sociology, required by the state for seniors, gave pupils the basic fundamentals in government and social life.
