Math on the Move MATHEMATICS Giving students the necessary calculating skills they might need in later life is the goal of the math department at DHS, stated department head Paul Olliff. He also noted that the enrollment in math classes at Dallas has always been comparatively low. One of the main reasons for that has been the fear of what a math course would do to a student's GPA. But for those who overcame that fear and took a math class it turned out to be challenging and, often times, very rewarding. Since students were offered a variety of courses, they could take a different and more advanced class each year. Beginning with Intermediate Math and going on to Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra 11, Trigonometry and,finally Calculus,students could take the necessary math in preparation for a future job or college. ! Leading the class in board work of intermediate math problems proves fun for sophomore Nikie Lowen. i, ■■ Sandy Benson and Linda Black compare answers to chapter questions on percentage in Mr. Fairchild's intermediate math class.

We're all going to have spare time, so one of the main goals we have here in the Arts and Crafts department is to kindle interest and help develop skills in areas that might become a hobby or even a source of income. stated art teacher Mrs. Jackie Gwinn. Art is bound to catch one's attention in one way or another. There were dozens of projects offered, such as rug hooking, salt block and wood carving, paper mache', painting and many other artistic endeavors. Instructors, Mrs. Pat Baker and Mrs. Gwinn led their classes on the assumption that it was important for a person to create, to extend himself, and that's what art is a II about. Another basic part of art is sharing it with others so, as a result of remodeling of the school, the art department acquired a new room with a display case in the hall;other additions included better storage space.
