The problems are introduced simply and become more compli- cated each time they are reintroduced. With this method it is possible for a student to be ex- posed to a subject as many as five or six times over a period of three or four years. S.M.S.G. was introduced at Dondero in T962 as a pilot course. A National Science Foundation division, S.M.S.G., proved to be such a success that in the fall of 1964, it was introduced to the entire freshmen class. Block of time, taught by Mr. Chancy Jones and Mr. Walter Diebel, is a pilot course to help under-achievers. The student is taught for two years by the same teacher, and he receives more individual help in problem areas by means of student teachers. It is therefore concievable for a student to finish math, algebra, and geometry during these two years. Fundamental Math is a class new to the math department this year. The class was formed as a refresher course for seniors. The average member of this class has had only a minimum of math. lt is hoped that by taking this course the students will be better prepared for the business world. Ei 1 C' f- U' , H7 w
