From counting Mathematics is a mountain of courses with each student a mountaineer learning the route. We start at the foothil's in seventh grade S.M.S.G. end journey upward through the green slopes of geometry. Passing through the rocky terrain of Algebra I and II we finally reach the summit of trig. Each mountaineer has a guide—a trained professional in the art of teaching. Here at Baker High, we have the best: every one of them giving willingly of their time and knowledge so that the mountaineer will be better fitted for climbing ever higher after graduation. Trig functions maybe represented as line segments. Mr. Owen explains to his baffled class. 22 Mr. Owon discussos ono of tho many facets of moth— graphing inequalities—fo puzzled Sue Wilson.

Fine Arte make fuller, The arts in their various forms ef- fective speaking, angelic singing, exores-sive painting, and stirring music-making —are appreciated by those who become aware of all life can hold of beauty, of drama, of impact. Those are the ones who love to sit by a stereo listening to the mellow music of Pablo Casal's cello those who enjoy spending hours at an art exhibit of Picasso's paintings; the ones who find pleasure in a dramatic reading by Lawrence Olivier; and these who relish the flexible voice of Robert Merrill. And where can a high school student find the key to the door of understanding of cur culture? In the fine arts department of Baker High School, of course. In art, the student learns the designing principles essential to composition: through long hours of practice, the chorus and band student increases his appreciation for music; and after master-:ng the fundamentals of acting, the speech student takes an active part in the school p ay. These four—chorus, art, speech, ard band—provide the foundation for fuller, richer, and happier living through the know'edge of fine arts. Mrs. Blockor domonstratos a breathing oxerciso to her class: Push, stand up straight! Shouldors back, inhalo . . . dooply . . A must for oil music students is the ability to read music.
