Only the bold and brave at CHS enroll in trigonometry, for each day they are confronted with complicated problems and formulas such as these. Mr. Harlan Goldsmith, instructor, and Gary Schneider try to make the going a little easier for Gail Anderson, the only girl in this trig class. Accu racy + Reason ing = Mathematics MRS. MARY HESS Algebra Geometry MR. JAMES BRUNNER Algebra Plane Geometry Coaching Present and future work usually requires the important tools of precision, accuracy, and logical thinking, all of which are formed through the mathe- matics courses. When each sophomore enters Central and chooses either Algebra I and II or plane geometry, he is assigned to a class composed of others of relatively the same ability. In algebra he learns the basic algebraic concepts, which may be mastered in the one-semester courses, Algebra III and IV. Plane geometry, necessary for these advanced algebra courses, stresses deductive reasoning and basic geometric principles. Advanced students study solid geometry and trigo- nometry through semester courses, while others may review arithmetic skills in business arithmetic. MR. HARLAN GOLDSMITH Algebra Trigonometry MR.

MR. WILLIS ROSING Department Head Algebra Business Arithmetic Only great effort and diligent work makes a math student suc- cessful. If this picture is any indication, it appears as though Jon Miller, one of Mrs. Mary Hess’s geometry students, knows this secret, too! Although it is usually the students who are at the board working and the teacher in his seat watching, Mr. Willis Rosing reverses the method in explaining a difficult problem to his relaxing” algebra students. 23
