Calculus offered as means to probe mind, enlarge mathematics department In order to expand the mathematics department, calculus was added to the curriculum this year. Calculus is a field of mathematics that relates many facets of algebra, geometry, and trigonome- try. The study of calculus requires a strict use of logic which promotes the use of mental discipline in the solution of mathematical problems and rela- ted fields, explained Mr. Larry Rothenhofer, head of the mathematics department. Greg Monkey and Amy Brune passed the listen- ing comprehension test for the honors program. They will have a personal interview before know- ing whether they are chosen for the program. The German class raised money to send the students to Germany to broaden their language skills.

Braves get new courts, end year with 6,5 slate With six of last year ' s lettermen back for another season, the tennis team posted a 6-5 slate, including a pair of 9-0 shutouts over county rival South Adams. During the conference meet at Bellmont ' s new courts located behind the school, the racketeers of Charles Swales failed to advance anyone past the first round, but the Braves turned around and placed third in a very tough sectional. Although half of the lettermen will be lost to graduation, three other lettermen, Scott Odie, Chris Marbach, and John Miller will be returning. Seniors playing their last tennis for Bellmont were Gil Hirschy, Tim Allwein, Steve Krueckeberg, and team captain Denny Jackson.
