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.

English, the key to mastery of every subject, pre- sented IHS students with many unforgetable charac- ters. David Copperfield, Silas Marner, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth all opened doors for discus- sions in the four communication areas stressed by the English Department - speaking, listening, read- ing, and writing. Basic rules of grammar were drilled into students so they could recognize sentence structures, figures of speech and verb tenses in their reading. They broadened vocabularies and improved conversation- al and platform speech habits. Besides bringing alive great passages of literature recordings provided valuable listening experiences. With new skill, students began their first efforts at creative writing, the final step to English mastery. These studies brought more effective expression and an appreciation ofthe variety of literary form in their mother tongue.
