Students Plunge Into O Math Mr. Nolte performs his famous feat of walking through an 8 112 x 5 inch piece of paper. 5. W Algebra 2 students learn probability theory the fun way--with cards and dice! 2, 1 , Z , . ..5 K, Q. a t if f 'Q' if' I twig: V -f , 3,57 Mr. Gust Dames Mr. Norvin Nolte Depariunent Chairman To the average student, the realm of mathematics beyond algebra or geometry is a lot of awesome but meaningless doodles which have little to do with him. High school mathematics, although calculus is offered at Bella Vista, is not sophisticated enough for the student to be able to see Where he fits in the picture. The Mathematics Department tries to present this exciting aspect of their sub- ject which many students would otherwise miss. For mathematics plays-a part in al- most every conceivable endeavor--in com- posing music, in social studies, business, art, recreation, home economics, and of course, in science and technology. lt will become an increasingly important tool through the computer as a means of im- posing order on complexity. Bella Vista's Mathematics Department provides a high quality of education from basic math through calculus by teachers Who know and like their subject. QYou may even get l-Iamlet's soliloquy with your cosines .J Mathematics has many practical ap- plications, but its major Worth is that it expresses man's highest achievement- thinking in the abstract. 59

Success And Fun For B.V. Groups Madrigals take time out for fun before getting down to business. Bella Vista's musicians really love their music. They have to. Imagine practicing at 7:30 each morning as do the Madrigals to prepare for their many concerts and performances. One such performance was the Madrigals' appear- ance on a Christmastime television pro- gram. Following the football teams to games away from home is all in the line of duty for the pep band. In addition, pep band plays at all rallies and home basketball games. Another active singing group is Girls' Glee. As you can see, each of these musical groups puts a lot of effort into their musicg but needless to say they get a lot of enjoyment back.
