With infinite patience, MR. CLESTON SCRUGGS explained some of the difficulties of Algebra to RONNIE HARVEY and JOAN GRIS- HAM. To keep pace with the ever increasing impor- tance of mathematics, IHS provided facilities for an increasing number of math students. Entering freshmen could choose between Gen- eral Math and Algebra I, a grown-up-sounding course which to their amazement used letters for numbers. By the time they had finished Algebra II, they were old hands at solving x and y, factoring, and working quadratic equa- tions. Plane and solid Geometry students soon became familiar with protractor and compass as they proved triangles congruent. moffemafzcs C5ak12ye0fsfz10Q12f5 fo ...nf Y A Work was always more pleasant when you had a friendly teacher like MR. HOLLY to soften the hard problems of Algebra I.

Sometimes students took over and explained to others what they had learned. Here STANTON CLARK PHILIP CUTSHALL, and CAROLE ADAMS demonstrated the ratio of a central angle to an arc. 0Que6pe0f6y1C , a12aQf1c'af 122122 3 A new course to IHS, Trigonometry attracted students interested in science and engineering. Trigo- nometrists soon were seeking an- swers to hypothetical situations. In IHS math classes future scien- tists, mathematicians, and teach- ers prepared for their careers. For them and others, mathematics promoted the development of a more analytical mind. HQ. Here's how it's done , I BILLIE CAROLE HENDRIX and JOE WOODRUFF explained a problem in Algebra II.
