Math had new slant in courses Keeping pace with the times, Black- ford ' s math classes studied the possi- bility of altering the program to meet the changing needs of the world. Practical application was the aim of slightly changed senior math. Solid ge- ometry, a brief introduction to calculus, probability and statistics, theory of equation and nine weeks of analytical geometry confronted seniors during the second semester. The first semester dealt chiefly with trigonometry. Computer math was added to fresh- man algebra, covered in the modern new texts. Under the direction of Mr. Jerry Shreves, Mathematics Department chair- man, six teachers — three of them new to the school system — instructed in six elective courses of math. The more dramatic points in courses are impressed on students by use of bulletin boards, as Carolyn Sills and Cindy Stepp discover while helping to construct a geometry display. Concentration brings a variety of recreation, as in freshman general math class. Dick Toivnsend, Pat Voght, Pauline Wyatt, Bob Logan and Jerry Lents lose themselves in a problem.

Tasty foods, sharp clotiies achieved by Changing classes during the day may have been the same consistent routine for some, but for those passing by the Home Ec Department, the alluring aroma of freshly baked pastries lifted the noses of many. New kitchen equipment was not only advantageous but also a luxury in that students were able to relax in a colorful living-dining social area. The latest of equipment included individual sewing areas with machines, ironing equipment and a dishwasher. A grooming area and fitting room were also available. Under Mrs. Kershner, Home Ec De- partment chairman, the department also was successful in adding an interior decoration and boys ' foods class.
