M TIIEMA TICS Due to the increased demands in the area of mathe- matics and the stress on modern mathematics, East High is making a greater effort to offer a broader curriculum in this area. It is our desire to have students well pre- pared to cope with college study. During the summer and evenings Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Swofford studied in mathematics seminars in order to become better acquainted with modern methods. This year Mr. Sigmon was added to the staff of mathematics teachers. llr qcott lectures his class on that frrrei n llH1'1lL1 e- , .t . g 5, g algebra.

SC' ENC!-' The science department added Chemical Bond Approach as an advanced chemistry course. This course is evaluated by the National Science Foundation. Basic biology was also added to the curriculum. This course is designed to give the under- standing of biology that every citizen should know. It is not designed as a college preparatory course. Cut of the science department, four of the science teachers studied at various colleges during the summer. Mr. W. B. Robertson studied the technique of independent research and use of radio isotopes for eight weeks at the University, of Virginia. Mr. VV. E. Cheek took sixteen hours of advanced chemical study at Peabody College. Mr. lames Knox took dendrology at the University of North Carolina. Mr. O. K. Caskins studied field biology at Southern Methodist Univer- sity. We had the following number of students receive advanced placement at these colleges: seven at North Carolina State, one at the University of North Carolina, one at the Massachu- setts lnstitute of Technology, one at Wake Forest, one at Duke, and one at Pfeiffer. During the summer we had War- ren Lonon studying chemistry at Western Carolina and lane Lynch studying ecology at Appalachian State Teachers Col- lege.
