A class in advanced algebra was taught for the first time at CiH.sS. Instruction in the use of the slide rule was a part of this course. Geometry students created and displayed designs illustrating geometric principles. New equipment, including many new models, made all science instruction more effective, and live and preserved speci - mens of strange animals opened up a new world to many biology students. ap John Broughton, Allen Hazlegrove, and George Thomas are intent upon an experiment in chemistry class.

Clubs Clubs are another source of challenge. By provid- ing a variety of interests, they offer the student new ways to broaden his world. The interests which he develops add variety and spice to his entire life. Or- ganized activities provide opportunities which chal- lenge the student to develop old talents, to discover new ones, to find new values, and to make treasured friendships. As he participates in club work he be- comes an efficient leader or an able follower. When the challenge of club work is met, the student finds new worlds opening before him. 25
