NEW MATHEMATICS FINDS EASIER METHODS The Math Department worked together to give students a basic understanding of the new mathematics. The department was aided by the return of four faculty members: Mr. Perry, Sister Jane, Miss Pretz, and lVlr. Owens. Teacher aids, such as overhead projectors, were used in quick and easier explanations of problems in Math I, Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Analysis. Math I students mastered fundamentals of math, while Algebra students used their skills in solving equations. Geometry classes studied theorems and proofs. Analysis was offered for those who were seeking more knowledge in math or planning to pursue a mathematical career. MR.
