University of Oregon Physical Science General Math Math - Brains, Persistence, And A Good Eraser Every student who graduates from high school has at one time in his four year career taken some form of math. Whether it is an accelerated program or perhaps an average course, the study of mathematics can be and usually is a vital part of his curriculum. The introduction to mathematics is given either by Mrs. Marquess, General Math and Applied Math instructor, or by Mr. Kingham, Algebra I and Geometry teacher. After taking either Algebra I or Geometry, a student may advance to Mrs. Watson's course in second year algebra. Students who have taken Algebra II may then take Trigonometry, which is considered the hardest math class in school, and the climax to a complete four years. Mr. Lee Kingham demonstrates an overhead projector.

Business Courses Train Future Secretaries Mrs. Beecher and Mrs. Pulvermacher have succeeded this year in the instruction of a large and complex program. The students enrolled represent all classes - freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior -and are taking a variety of different subjects. Typing I and II classes are fundamental courses which deal with the mechanics of typing and typing skills, along with a smattering of English composition for business letters. Students not only compose, but must also follow the proper technique for standard typing forms and legal papers. Bookkeeping is an interesting course, and one that is highly profitable to the students. Perhaps this class can best instill a few ideas on self-budgeting and personal finances, along with the basics of bookkeeping. Future secretaries would enjoy not only bookkeeping, but also the following terms spent in Secretarial Practice or Shorthand. These classes are sometimes proving grounds for future success. Norma Jean Davis and Cheryl Mast are among the many students who learned to operate the mimeograph. Complicated problems are done by Barbara Nyre on the time-saving calculator.
