r . MATH . .? An occasional trigonometry problem even has Mr. Browder stum¬ ped, as he undertakes the frequently-requested job of helping a student. 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

Current Algebra I grades bring a pleasant smile to Mrs. Chick’s face. Mrs. Smith takes advantage of the calculator to average her grades. Math rally and a digital computer infiltrate the math department The Math Department sponsored three students at the Radford College Math¬ ematical Rally on November 1 7. The three students were Sandra Fuller, Barbara Kott, and Sue Martin. More and more students were encour¬ aged to come in the Math office and work on problems. There they re¬ ceived the benefits of both the teach¬ ers and the calculator. Of course, the calculator proved to be a big help to the teachers, as well as students, since they used it in averaging grades. Mrs. Gillespie aids Mike Deyerle in tackling a particularly exasperating Geometric problem.
