Complexities Of Mathematics Constantly “Could you get the answer to (2x + 3y)8 on last night’s homework? You couldn’t? Let’s go ask the math teacher. He’ll know.” When young mathematicians ran into insurmountable prob- lems, they couldalways depend on the qualified math teachers to surmount them. Contributing to the students’ education, teachers led their classes into the unexplored realms of modern mathematics. Some of the new fields such as logic, probability, and math analysis joined the up-dated business math, algebra, geometry, calculus, and trigonometry courses. Although these math scholars sometimes balked at weighty homework assignments, the people of FCHS began to realize how important the third R was to them. After finishing twelve years of school, seniors truly appreciated the constant help that the math teachers gave them. 4 4 Se Mrs. Jewell P. Boitnott B.

Endeavoring to impart to each student an understanding of democracy and its development, the Social Studies Depart- ment offered an excellent curriculum. World history students discovered the realm of past events. Foreign countries came vividly alive as world geography courses explored the land and the ways of life of neighbors. A deep love of our own native land was instilled in the hearts of each student as they studied American history. This past year pupils’ understanding of government was further enriched by speeches given to the student body by candidates for Lieutenant Governor, J. Sargent Reynolds and “Buzz Dawbarn.
