Methods of Solving Problemsl offered by mathematics. Students with vocational or junior col- lege objectives were required to take general math andfor applied math. Working at a much faster pace, college prepara- tory and pre-university students were offered algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. To kindle their interest further, students were invited to join the Math Club and the Slide-Rule Club. The department adjusted standards to class level and ability in basic courses, while advanced subjects were treated to conform to the requirements of colleges and univer- sities. A FEW POINTERS are given to students Jim Dunn and Linda Rasmussen by Mr. Wayne Gibson as he explains Algebra l assignment to them.

With an adequate knowledge of mathematics so necessary to many of today's professions, stu- dents realized that the whys and wherefores of mathem- atics not only prepared them for work in everyday life but also revitalized their interest in engineering and science, Guided by Mrs. Mary Alice King, department chairman, the math instructors sought not only to teach the fundamentals of the courses offered but to interest the students in the various fields and professions i t as it l INDIVIDUAL HELP is given to students by Mr. Edward Engemann in his Math I classes James Lewis Griffis, B.S.

l Q Students Studied Languages.. . V With emphasis on vocabulary building, reading, and conversation, students were encouraged to be able not only to read and write the language they studied, but to think in it as well. Four languages-Latin, French, Spanish, and German-were offered by the Language Department with Miss Ann Finley as department chairman. Geared to national standards of achieve- ment, the language program was enhanced by instructors' use of recordings, skits, discussions, tape recorders, movies, and other methods. Students who L A belonged to the language clubs were given further insight into the culture, traditions, and customs ot the countries whose languages they studied, Miss Ann E. Finley, l,A.
