Fcr 2C65 minutes a week we, as a student body, set goals and strived to attain them—memorizing theorems, manufacturing themes, and learning a little more about the human race in the process. All of this took place within the limits and possibilities of a new system of education— so subtly different from a 5-day cycle yet so profoundly different that we were jolted into the realization that not every Day 1 was a Monday. Eager and unsuspecting, 1 500 students and an equally apprehensive faculty faced the onset of the 6-day cycle on the last hot day of August. Although the addition of a “sixth” day and two more minutes per mod was the only major change, it was enough of a change to disorient a school accustomed to 1 5-minute mods and a five day schedule. For the upperclassmen, familiar patterns of years past were replaced with a system whose seemingly insignificant changes left the senior as baffled as the freshman. With the sounding of the first tone, school was upon us— nothingcouldstopthejumbleofeventssetinmotion . . . 11

The computer’s secret Great confusion was produced, both in the Math office and in students’ minds over the mysterious . MATH . found where Advanced Math lab was due to appear on schedules. Evi¬ dently, the computer thought . MATH . was more appropriate. The only other scheduling difference, the result of the 6-day cycle, was the elimination of one lecture per cycle for Geometry and Algebra II. For the first time in several years, the Math Department, headed by their new chairman Mr. Basham, had a para-professional Mrs. Brandt. She added much needed help in large lec¬ tures, took the roll, and distributed tests. “The Mathematical Wonder”, as named by Mr. Browder, was another addition to the Math Department. The Monroe 650 Calculator could do any¬ thing from simple addition to finding square roots. This handy machine served as an aid to many advanced math students. A new experience for Algebra II and Math Survey students was “Mathematical Football”, a game that combines fun with learning. Mrs. Lemon takes time out to laugh at a joke over her ever-present styrofoam cup of coffee. Mrs. Bailey repeats the Consumer Math assignment in detail, one more time. I jHeL eSr k
