Fingers Are Answer to Higher Mathematics Dan Dunham and Bill High explain an analytical geometry problem to Mr. Wilcox. A wide variety of courses, ranging from General Math to Trigonometry and analytic geometry, are part of the mathematics department. The constant efforts of our instructors enable them to aid us with the most effective up-to-date methods. Not only the fundamental theorems, but also history and theories are included in current math classes. Geometric figures, algebraic equations and trig formulas present challenges for the many college bound students in Delphi High School. Although the tough problems are tackled with compass, pro- tractor, graph board, and a new overhead pro- jector, they don't get any easier. Richard Newell takes his turn at using the overhead protector in trigonometry class. Future mathematical geniuses, Mike Van Sickle and Sue Lachen- maier work on an Algebra Il problem.

Application Becomes Practiccility But I still think that you shouldn't subtract that 52.00 from this check book balance, Robin Wray tells Linda Hayden. Now if I can iust remember where the first finger goes . . . thinks Marilyn Scott. The business education courses offered in Delphi High School are designed to train the student in proper methods which are effec- tive for business or personal use. The basic forms of dictation are introduced in Shorthand l. Typing I familiarizes the student with the keyboard and the setting of business forms. A wide variety of novel subiects from balancing check books to plan- ning trips is discussed in General Business. Although secretarial training and office prac- tice are available to future secretaries and receptionists, only one of these may be scheduled by a student. The typewriting duplicating, photocopy, adding and dictation machines, electric type- writers, and calculator further the skills and knowledge obtained in business education courses. Valuable experience may be obtained through assistance in the school offices. In addition, the local merchants and pro- fessional men supply their services in order to make courses more meaningful. To climax the year's studies, a trip to a large office or factory is taken annually. Mrs. Grim encourages the future executives
