THE MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Helen Flanagan, Miss Edna Marston. Sranpinc: Miss Margaret Kelley, Mr. Leland Smith. STUDENTS OF MATH 12G KNOW HOW TO FIGURE INCOME TAX MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT “Everyone should know some mathematics,’ states Mr. Leland Smith, head of the mathematics de- partment of Classical. Mathematics is used in all fields, professions, and occupations. Skilled workmen such as a tool cutter or electrician have a background of algebra and geometry, while bookkeeping requires a thorough knowledge of arithmetic. Statisticians, engineers, actuaries, and scientists are a few of the pro- fessions which require a mathemati- cal background. Besides the courses in algebra and geometry offered by Classical, solid geometry, trigonometry, and calculus are taught for those desiring a good — background in mathematics. Full ad- vantage should be taken of our math courses as the knowledge gained will be of immense value in the future. The teachers of the mathematics department are Leland Smith, chair- man; Helen Flanagan, Margaret Kelley, and Edna Marston. STANDING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Carol Worcester, Leonard Rulnick, William Bazos.
