Tapping of pencils, squeaking of chalk and the wadding up ot paper to try again, are all familiar sounds that go along with math. The math depart- ment consisted ot algebra, geometry, trig, consumers math and related math. To enrich and stimulate interest the math department invited two guest speakers during the tall semester. One talked on the New York Stock Ex- change andthe other was from the Bet- ter Business Bureau. The Consumers math classes worked in the library tor several days to do re- search on their careers. They then gave an oral report on what line ot business they were planning to go into after graduation. These classes also video- taped a program about consumers math. The new teachers added to the math department were Green, Bryant, Podsednik, Smith, Jones, Gaines, and Hardy. Below: Janice Reneau, Sophomore, gets help from neighbor in math.
