Equations and theorems, budgets and SCCOUIIIS Roy Tattersall explains before an interested group Algebra, Geometry, Practical Math and the advanced forms of math-Algebra II, Trigo- nometry and Solid Geometry-all are taught at East Hampton High by Mr. Callahan and Mr. Pilicy. Gradually, we learn to master that problem on the blackboard! Those com- plicated formulas do have a meaning. We discover math has its everyday usefulness as well-in business, accounting, adding up the monthly budget. We soon realize that this knowledge is an important tool in the hands of the intelligent and resourceful individual, and we wisely make every effort to avail ourselves of this learning. 973,41- MR.

M41 We learn to seek and discover . . . our everyday livgs' In view of this, a general knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Biology is more than valuable to everyone. In our science classes we learn. we grow, we soon discover for ourselves the satisfaction of pursuing an idea to its ultimate source. We have the equipment and resources at our very finger tips. Mr. Holland's Chemistry and Physics classes. Mrs. House's Biology class- the testing grounds for research and scientific inquiry. We do experiments. we gain a last- ing knowledge ofthe world around us. growing richer and fuller as a reward. We learn to apply this knowledge in everyday life-what's the best kind of anti-freeze for your car-what gets best results on icy sidewalks. Besides experiments, we give reports, we go on interesting field trips. and we make excursions to nearby museums. Live animals are brought into the Biology class and studied. and special periods are set aside for extra research work. By participation in these class projects and by work on our own, we enrich ourselves and learn to enjoy to the fullest the world of scientific miracles in which we live. l l - KXVV - 'Ta'- MRS.

WORDS ARE TOOLS . . . powerful and reliable, ready to work for us at our pleasure. It is doubly important that we be able to express ourselves and be able to pass on our ideas to others. We must have a command of the language to do this and a knowledge of what words mean. MRS. HELEN KROTKY MRS. ELINOR FOWLER 1 'ET Y X X. S x MR. RICHARD COSTA In our English classes, with Mrs. Krotky and Mrs. Fowler. creative expression is urged. and various types of writing are studied and discussed. both contemporary and past. We gain a knowledge of words, and sentence structure, we become familiar with a rich variety of literature'-newspapers, magazines. current fiction. the classics- and attain a rich cultural background as a reward. In Foreign Language classes we gain a knowledge of roots and derivatives that form a strong foundation for nne's word power. But our learning is interspersed with pleasure as well. In Mr. Costa's Latin classes, the Latin Banquet is the highpoint of the year, and the French classes look forward eagerly to their annual New York trip, where they visit the French Embassy. With Mrs. Krotl-ry we become familiar with a rich variety of literature. A -VE YOU READ . wi li 1 'A va ai 1 L T
