Textbooks, blackboords, chalk, numerous erasers and thinking caps are still the essentials of the math department, however, a com- plete set of surveying apparatus was purchased this year. East's students receive college credit in trigonometry and advanced algebra because of their knowledge of the operations of such technical equip- ment. Modern devices, such as records, tape recorders, and movies are being used extensively by our language department. Students learn not only the language but the customs and history of the countries.
