MATHEMATICS a , .irirv . :,A : Zu A J p tv-if . Q 1 --- A f Mr. Alton Kienker 4 W M ' t Y JI Mathematics is a very important part of any institution of learning. The reason for this is twofold. First, there are certain students who will need every day mathematics in order to solve the problems of business which they will encounter shortly after graduation. Second are the students who desire to obtain higher training in mathe- matical fields. These must be prepared for higher study by having a firm foundation of mathematical skills developed in the high school. Garden County High School has a mathematics department which is efficient in preparing better citizens in our communities' future and at the same time prepares students to take their places in fields which require higher education. To meet the growing need, the emphasis of late has been directed toward courses which benefit the majority of the people. The head of the Mathematics Department is Mr. Alton Kienker.

After completion of the commercial course offered at Garden County High School, many students go directly to work in offices of this and other com- munities. The course is preparatory for bookkeepers, typists, receptionists, and stenographers. In meeting the needs of the students for vocational training, and by pro- viding practice at the school and in offices of the community, this department provides a special service of on the job training . As another concrete relationship between school and community, an evening adult typing class was provided for interested patrons. All of this is made possible through maintenance of a fine department which has many new typewriters designed by the several outstanding manu- facturers, and other laboratory equipment, including duplicators, and office machines.
