Calculus Added To Math Curriculum Due to students' need and desire for a more advanced math class, the math department added calculus to its cur- riculum. Taught by George Mesoras, the course proved an aid for college bound stu- dents. “As a future math major, I am thankful for this course, knowing that it will put me one step ahead of students whose high school does not of- fer it.” (Cindy Penatzer) For some reason or other the physics classes attracted more students than in the past. It was generally shunned because of its difficulty. Mr. Endler’s explanation for the upsurge was “stu- dents seem to like physics because they can re- late it to everyday situations, such as the speed and acceleration of cars. Examining a student's spore slide, George Pettorini (above) shows some concern with his findings. Assisting Lisa Hart with a chem equation. Regis Endler (right) points out some discrepancies in her answer. 24—Math And Science

Business Department Acquires Key Punch With the acquisition of a number of new business machines, commercial students were able to explore new fields of study. Among the new equipment was a data processing machine, more familiarly, a key punch. Students spent about six weeks of the office prac- tice course experimenting and working with it. The other new items which served as study aids included a dictating machine, three electronic calcu- lators and a wireless shorthand lab. “The new equip- ment has proven to be a successful innovation to our program and has made the students more well- rounded in the field.” (Frank Krentz) In a practical application of their studies, several business students spent some class time working at the local banks and the Forest Hills Credit Union. I was glad for a chance to put the things I learned to good use.” (Eva Smay) In his Business Machines class. Frank Krentz takes time out to put a new reel on an adding machine. 26—Business Education
