“A is to B as B is to A” — Mr. Ford Currence explains proportional triangles to Michael Carpenter. Sidney Seale solves a solid geometry problem for the class. Math Department Asks For Collegiate Help To provide the intermediate step between contemporary geometry and honors mathe- matics, the department offered trig-algebra. College-level trigonometry composed the first semester’s work. Pupils studied inverse functions, identities, and triangular measure- ment. The second term was a composite course. Instructor Mrs. Walter Palmer and math professors of the University of Virginia discussed the areas in which college freshmen have the most difficulty. She combined their suggestions and information from several advanced algebra texts. “This is How You do it.” — Marsha Pierce shows Lawrence Cline the funda- mentals of solving an Alge- bra I problem. 21

Four More Years — Mr. Donald Judy makes a tenta- tive schedule for Randolph Jen- kins for his next four years of high school. Students Enjoy Art and Music as Electives Instrumental Music students were re- sponsible for the definition of terms and for learning the keys and key signatures. During the fall each class member took his turn directing the band unit in music from various march folios. Students were not only re- sponsible for performing technical skills but also for fully understanding the four elements of music-melody, rhythm, timbre, and har- mony. To aid homeroom teachers art students were assigned specific bulletin boards. As a year-round project the pupils maintained attractive displays. “Listen to This.” — -Valarie Smith puts a record on the new stereo bought by the band. Katherine Topham and Thomas Jones compare each other’s collage display. 23
