MATHEMATICS For the first year our Mathematics department offered sev- eral classes by the new method of set theory. Special classes were set uP in physics, college algebra, algebra Ill, and plane geometry, using this new method. The School Mathe- matics Study Group, a new approach to plane geometry, con- trolled by professors from various colleges and universities, of- fered two of the very few classes in the United States at East. This study was experimental and if successful will be revised and put into effect in many sections of the United States. Mr. Swofford put u problem on the board to tease his class in trigonometry. Mn. HENRY H. HAM1 Wake Forest College, East Carolina College, Hi-Y Adviser: Algebr. Mrs. Wesson explained arcs and segments to her classes by using drawings on the board.
