§ciW and M.(itke rtLas . . MATHEMATICS, sometimes called the language of science, is used not only in technological oc- cupations, but in daily applications of all kinds. The interest of many students today lies in en- gineering or related scientific fields, and the upswing of technical programs in most high schools has emphasized the need for math. Headed by Mr. Jeff Larson, the Math Depart- ment offered courses ranging from general math to solid geometry and trigonometry. More ad- vanced students were offered an accelerated program, covering four years of math in three years. In addition to the regular curriculum, a course in mathematical applications was taught after school by Dr. Bullington. MR. FORREST JOHNSON . . . general math, algebra ... 1 1 years teach- ing .. . sponsored Sophomore Class . . . photography, tropical fish . . . Can the chatter, it's my turn. MISS PENNY ROBERTS . . . algebra, geometry ... 1 year teaching . . . sponsored Freshman Class . . . spec- tator sports, reading. MR. FRANK WILCOX . . . geometry, algebra ... 10 years teaching . . . sponsored Freshman Class . . . music. Dwarfed by Mr. Jeff Larson, Ann Schneider, Mary Thomas, and Ann Cornwell do their difficult algebra problems, while Bill Welch seems to be laughing at the teacher's joke. Mr. Frank Wilcox supervises while Harriet Zenobi and Locke Kelly attempt to prove that CE is parallel to AB in triangle ABC. Good luck! 12 -
