MR. KENNETH PYATT gave math major Jeanne Cordie extra help with a calculus problem. The Math department offerings included basic math ematics to differential equations. For many of us at Belleville Junior College, the mathematics courses proved to be stimulating chal¬ lenges. Mr. Kenneth Pyatt, head of the Math De¬ partment, made sure we were given the best instruc¬ tion in all phases of mathematics offered. The wide choice — basic mathematics, college algebra, trigono¬ metry, analytical geometry, calculus, slide rule, tech¬ nical math and differential equations—prepared us to meet business, engineering and scientific needs with a solid foundation and confidence in our ability. Mr. Albert Besserman taught fundamentals of mathematics for those students who needed to ful¬ fill their math requirement but felt they couldn ' t handle algebra. Miss Genevieve Snider concentrated her instruction in the area of college algebra. College algebra, physics, calculus, and slide rule were taught by Mr. Donald Jackson, Mr. Oliver Kueker, Mr. Mike Zupsich, and Mr. Kenneth Pyatt. MR. JACKSON explained to Edward McClane, Bob Sanders, and SEATED: Mr. Mike Zupsich, A.B., A.M.; Miss Genevieve Snider, Tom Hoffman how to prove a theorum in geometry. A.B., M.A.; Mr. Albert Besserman, B.Ed., M.S.Ed. STANDING: Mr. Kenneth Pyatt, B.Ed., M.A.; Mr. Donald Jackson, B.S., M.S.

loyal perseverance. Miss Clara May Miller, Director of Nursing, has exerted invaluable efforts to make this nursing school one of the finest in the area. She is assisted by Miss Barbara D(X)ling who worked with the nursing stu¬ dents at St. Elizabeths Hospital and Mrs. Anne Johnston who instructed the other students at Mem¬ orial Hospital. Besides working at the hospital these women along with Miss Dorothy Sf)encer, Mrs. Clasina Ingwersen and Mrs. Jean Best, the nutrition teacher, educated the girls with the acedemic know¬ ledge they needed for their future profession. Mrs. Clasina Ingwersen also sponsors the Nursing Club to which all the nursing students belong. SEATED: Miss Barbara Dooling, B.S.,M.S., Miss Clara Miller, A. B., R.N., M.S., Mrs. Anne Johnston, B.S.N., M.S. STANDING: Miss Dorothy Spenser, B.S.,M.S., Mrs. Jean Best, B.S.,M.S., Mrs. Clasina Ingwersen, B.S.,M.S. MRS. ELIZABETH STORNER and Betty Rehg prepared ’the various medicines needed by the pat ents at Memorial Hospital. CAROLYN KRAMER, assisted by Mrs. Bickel and Edna Strite, adjusted arm rests on the walker used by paralyzed patients. MARY BETH SCHOERHERR, Judy Whittiker, and Kathyrn Ma- jeske prepared one of the many tasty meals assigned for nutrition class—a requirement for all nursing students.

The engineering curriculum prepared men for responsible technical positions. At one time or another everyone has surely seen a couple ot Junior College students peering through a transit at some distant object discernable only to the students surveying. This practice was just one aspect of the Junior College’s program for young engineers. Not only were they given a solid foundation in mathe ¬ matics and engineering principles, but also in English, chemistrv, physics, and business. Eventually these eager men will be building tbe roads, bridges, and buildings of tomorrow. MR. FRANK SCOTT, B.Ed., and A.M. GARY MUETH used a scratch pen to finish his architectural drawing in Mr. Scott ' s class. Mike Owens and Jack Frost learned how to use the transit. MR. SCOTT explained a math problem to his engineers.
