VIRGINIA CUMMINGS Math Department One of ChamberIain's Largest 2 -L 2 I 4, Q- Q22 WHETHER IT be simple of compli- C1 C3 C12 cated, the math department of CHS has someone who can solve the problem at hand without fail, for in the case of some students, with failj . Our mathematics teachers handle the great problem of teaching students the most difficult of the three R's',, 'rithmetic. To some it comes naturally, while to others it's always grind, grind, grind! Math, whether algebra, geometry, trigonometry, or general math- ematics, is one of the most fascinating of all ields of study, so say some Chiefs. WELCOME BACK! Returning to CHS after a year's absence studying at Harvard where she and her husband received their Ed.M. is MRS. SARAH EDXVARDS, head of the math depart- ment. When not teaching Solid Trigonometry and Geometry, she finds time for reading, sewing, and travel. Mrs. Edwards did her undergraduate work at the University of Tampa. Not in ten easy lessons can math be mastered, but MR. CARL MILLER gives the students in his math classes plenty of opportu- nity to try. Mr. Miller, who teaches Functional Math, Algebra 1, and Math 10, attended Emory University and the University of Tampa, receiving his B.S. in mathematics and social studies. He is the sponsor of the Junior Exchange Club .... X doesn't remain an unknown for long with MRS. ANNA PEACOCK on the job. Mrs. Peacock co-sponsors the Future Teachers Club as well as teaching five Algebra 2 classes a day. Her A.B. degree was earned at Florida State University .... Versatility could be the middle name of MRS. VIRGINIA CUMMINGS, who teaches- Algebra 1 and 2 and sponsors the Girls' Exchange Club. Mrs. Cummings, a native of West Virginia, holds B.A. degrees in Liberal Arts from Chatham College and has taken education courses at the University of Pittsburgh and University of Florida .... A familiar figure, fpardon the punj in the math department, MRS. DOROTHY TRAWEEK, when not instructing classes in Functional Math 2 and Geometry, keeps busy as co-sponsor of the Math Club. Mrs. Traweek earned her A.B. degree at Alabama State Teacher's Col- lege in Livingstone, Alabama. LOOK MOM, I'm drawing circles! but tI1ere's a bit more to it than that. M RS. DO ROTHY TRAWEEK 86 N

BETH WHITE gives ready attention to Tommy Allen as he explains the intricacies ot a pilot control board. TH-E GREENHOUSE offers first-hand experience in raising and caring for various types of plants. Chamberlain's well-stocked, glass-covered nursery provides a place where students can study the different characteristics of the four plant phyla. Interested Boilogy I pupils can study the growth of the plants under certain conditions and learn valuable information about landscaping and gardening. What makes them tickPPP Learning the answer to this question is the job of students taking pre-flight aeronautics. A student in- terested in flying as a profession must first learn about the mech- anisms of aeroplanes and know exactly how and why they run. STUDYING the leat ot a tropical Florida plant are Danny Harris. Nelson McLaughlin, and Linda Deutsch. Space Age and Rockets New World for Future Scientists Explorers, Sputniks, Vanguards, and Nautiluses were of high interest to the group of Chiefs known as Future Scientists. To- morrowis missile race will depend on such individuals as is in this club. Under the guidance of Mrs. Mildred Reed, sponsor, these future Einsteinians sponsor the annual Chamberlain Science Fair. Besides the production of a one-act play, the fair encourages and promotes greater interest in the science Held by displaying science depart- ment students' projects which range from aeronautics to Zoology. From these exhibits qualifying entrees to the County Science Fair are chosen. FUTURE SCIENTISTS OF AMER- ICA: First row: Mr. Vacher, Den- nis Ross, Pat lv1cNicholas, Melody Hardesty, Norman Johnson.
