Mathematics States a problem, establishes fact and proves it with exactness History tells us that mathematics was developed originally because of its practical value. The modern tendency is to con- tinue to emphasize the practical side plus an added stress on the social basis. The outlines of courses are determined by Mrs. Dorothy Giesel, head of the department, in consultation with Miss Sarah Louise Morse. The student is taught to recognize a problem, analyze and solve it by accurate use of established fundamentals in the courses of algebra, geometry and trigono- metry. ALGEBRA Algebra which is generalized arithmetic, affords practice in general fundamentals of fractions. The 112 algebra students graphed several kinds of equations resulting in curves known as parabola, hyperbola, circle or ellipse. They also learned the convenience of multiplying and dividing large numbers by the short method of using logarithms. SOLID Solid geometry goes a little deeper than plane geometry which deals with surfaces. Students constructed geometrical models of paper as shown is the second picture with Walter Pietsch, Betty Pressprich, Warren Schroeder, Richard Stebner, jacob Eichhorn, john Goppelt, Harry I-laft, Margaret Llewellyn, George Michel, Raymond Appold, Clifford Behrens, Wesley Peterson, Ed Bernthal, and Dave Burger among the eighteen students taking solid geometry. The rules and formulas for finding the lateral area, total area and volumes of almost any kind of solid object are learned. PLANE GEOMETRY In plane geometry the 115 students proved facts and made practical applications of them, learned to use the simplest 26 drawin and measurin instruments the strai ht ed e, ro- S , tractor and com asses in construction eometric fi ures and 8 8 8 designs. They made interesting booklets on loci, an important phase of geometry. These books were classified and voted on by the classes according to the clever and original cover designs. The winners of the informal group, Carl Roethke, along with Kenneth WiHoughby who placed second in the semi- formal class were busy with areas and the Pythagorean Theorem the day the third picture was taken--as also were Margaret Armstrong, Robert Bargert, William Clark, Shirley Courtade, Kenneth Greenleaf, Ellagene Graham, Norman Gremel, Charles Hogan, Bob Hanes, Dorothy Kerr, Mary Lou Klenoski, Dee Lehman, Mary Love, Herbert Lutz, Ralph Matthews, Lloyd Starr, joy Rene Stevenson, Lester Patterson, Donna Pumford, Harold Stier, Dick Whitten, Russell Redfern, Bob Reetz and Isham Williams. Backing upr' the class are Bill Peckover, jim Schindehette, George Widmoyer, Marilynn Witting, Don Sperling, jack Kreuger, R'lene Howell and Richard Martini, another Loci booklet winner. TRIGONOMETRY Trigonometry is a culmination of algebra and geometry for 25 students as they continue to study the right triangle and practice with logarithms. After studying trig one should be able to find the dizziest heights and most inaccessible distances. Mathematics in the senior high school is an elective. There- fore, the courses for the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth years are planned to meet the needs of pupils who are especially inter- ested in the subject because they like it or because they want it as a foundation for future courses. The courses included in college preparatory mathematics in senior high are plane geometry, two semesters, solid geometry, one semester, advanced algebra, two semesters, and trigonom- etry, one semester. If need arises, elementary algebra may be offered in grade ten. A one semester course in socialized mathematics may be elected by seniors.

O Music Interest and talent Ieatlmany into musical expression in group or individual work The courses offered in music are band I and 2, choir I and 2 and orchestra. The first and second bands and choirs are chosen on the basis of personal merit. Mr. Earl D. Burnett, music instructor and director, often wishes himself two persons-a teacher with full time to teach and a director to appear with various music groups at commu- nity affairs in answer to calls of all sorts from those violin or vocal solos to a German band leading a street parade for adver- tising. BOC Music groups meet on the third floor with the instructor directing a large group as shown in the first picture while individuals use the various practice rooms. Student directors assisting through the year have been Ruth Hauffe and Ella Dee Ford for choir and Bob Pfeuffer for the band. Students of unusual ability hnd the BOC Club an outlet for solo work. At the piano are this semesters ofhcers, Ella Dee Ford, secretary-treasurer, George Michel, president, and Don Zoellner, vice-president. Not in the picture are Florence Swarthout and Bob Fellows, first semester president and secre- tary-treasurer, respectively. This group met each Wfednesday. BAND The school band is divided into two groups, the marching band and the concert band. Concert band members shown in the top picture are seated left to right: Bob Duwe, Catherine Hayden, Loren King, Robert Griese, Joyce Booth, Mary Ellen Surgeson, Wilma Martin, Don Baumgartnc-r, Robert Dupree, Aldean Voell-ter, Gordon Brown, Don Zoellner, Elaine Voor- heis, Dan Loveland, Roger Jacobi, Jeanne Loyster, Bill Small, John Donhaiser, George Michel, Robert Jones, Leonard Ana- rnan, Herbert Saul, Earl Martin, Phyllis Miessner, Pat Brock, Gordon Bowman, Kenneth Laufer, Erick Gustafson, Don Schmidt, Phyllis Graebner, Dale Young, Helen Topps, Owen Prinz, Fred Kundinger, Bill Phillips, Bill Lindstrom, Jack Winters, Robert Fellows, Norman Gremel, Dick Duclos, Robert Hanes, Minton Nelson, Harold Forsythe, George Francis, Stuart Lincoln, James Hammond, Don Lantz, and Bob Dengler. In the back row are Howard Finger, Roger Pierce, Dale Keyser, Harold Scott, Clark Ardern, Ben Skelton, Bob MacFarlane, Dick Middlebrook, Jack Schmiegel, Louis Ewald, Charles Thery, Don Ferriby, Bernard Delaney, and Mr. Burnett. First-chair holders for first and second semesters are Don Zoellner, Roger Jacobi, Bill Small, Bob Dengler, Bill Phillips, Dick Middlcbrook, Clark Arden and Ben Skelton. ORCHESTRA The orchestra has a large repertoire of music. Besides their many outside performances, they introduce assemblies and open class plays. In the middle picture seated left to right are orchestra members: Jean Thomson, Ray Oehring, Dorothy Levi, Alberta 28 Krebbs, Harold Richter, Linnis Metiva, Ed Clauss, Bill Graff, Irene Hack, Helen Bremer, George Harrington, Dorotha Pointer, Carol Harris, Robert Krause, Mary Rendell, George Michel, Russell Ochsenkehl, Marjorie Bindon, Helen Bennett, Viola Hedden, Veva Lou Whitelietid, Anna Jayne Anderson, Lawrence Virginia, Don Meyer, John Donhaiser, Bob Fellows, Elinor Seehase, Esther Fultz, Dorothy Wichmzin, Don Zoell- ner, Kenneth Laufer, Max LeClair, Mary Lou Lown, Dale Young, Bob Chadwick, Irene Gauze, Kathleen Brown, Leonard Anaman, Bill Kumbier, Bob Dengler and Jim Hammond. In the back row are Howard Finger, Ben Skelton, Mr. Burnett and Don Ferriby. First and second semester first-chair holders were Bill Graff, Veva Lou Wliitehead, Viola Hedden, Mary Lown, Irene Gauze, Bill Kumbier and Norma O'Connor.
