Mr. Wes Parker Physics, General Science Geometry, Algebra II Mathematics IV Junior Class Advisor Science and Its Language, Mr. David Mummert Algebra, Driver Education, Sabbath School Advisor The students who undertook classes in Auburn’s mathematics and science departments learned careful, modern lab procedures and realized the importance of precision. Beyond this, they experienced the thrill of discovering for them¬ selves basic principles. In spite of the endless questions their answers led to, they were in¬ spired with confidence and real joy of accom¬ plishment as they met stiff challenges and over¬ came them. In this mathematics department, a new class was initiated by Mr. Parker. Called Math IV, the class studied complicated matrices, conic sections, and introduction to calculus. For them this was a step beyond Algebra II. The Science department introduced anew class, General Science, to take the place of Biology. The class, shared by Mr. Parker and Mr. Weir, studied biology, chemistry and physics. 20
