First-year algebra students, Esther Warstler and Virginia Leech, traveled to Angola to participate in the Regional Algebra contest. One of the projects of the solid geometry class is the constructing of various geometric shapes and forms Math Like Virtue, its Own Reward 3-2-1-0—The launching of a rocket into outer space was successful. A future mathematician from Garrett may help in the launching of the first rocket to the moon. This student would receive his basic training in algebra, geometry, and trig- onometry in Garrett High School. In algebra he would learn that you can sub- tract four from three and obtain a minus one as an answer, multiply or divide a minus four by a minus two and procure a plus eight and a plus two, re- spectively, as answers. Proving two equals one by the use of algebra would seem impossible to him at first, but he would receive the knowledge to accomplish this feat in advanced algebra, a continuation of first- year algebra. Prove it by geometry would become his motto while taking plane geometry, a study of one- dimensional figures. He would prove postulates and theorems, and construct triangles, perpendic- ulars, and parallel lines, and different kinds of angles while studying plane geometry. In solid geometry he would study three dimen- sional figures. Cubes, pyramids, cylinders, and spheres would be constructed by him. His conclusive course in math in high school would be trigonometry. He would study the vari- ous uses of the right triangles. Much blackboard construction and is involved in the teaching of second- diagram work year algebra. 23

Tmk If those girls watch carefully, they will understand instructor. This experiment will prove to them that light the workings of a camera, as explained by their student travels in a straight line. Science Wonder and Discover In a chemistry class, accuracy is the by-word. Use of the graduated cylinder and funnel help Dale Feick and Bob Cattell measure solutions to the milliliter. The dissection, examination, and written report on an animal is occupy- ing the minds of these freshmen. 22 A future winner of the Nobel Prize in science may be receiving his preparatory training amidst the shadows of Garrett High. This young scientist would take biology, chemistry, and physics. In biology he would collect insects, dissect a frog, worm, fish, and other animals to gain more knowledge about them. He would also learn why insects, animals, and plants are important to him. He would participate in many interesting and exciting episodes in chemistry. These episodes would take place while he is experimenting with all kinds of materials to determine their composi- tion and chang es which they undergo. To receive a knowledge of light, electricity, nuclear physics, mechanics, heat, and sound, he would take physics. This would help him under- stand what makes his automobile run, how a radio works, and many more things.

Shop IV students, who have learned the fundamen- tals of carpentry, are given the opportunity to improve their skill through their choice of working with wood, plastics, electricity, or with metal sheet, foundry, and arc welding. Tachine, bench, Vocational Arts Have Skill, Will Profit Mechanical Drawing II provides much college preparation through the study and construction of architectural designs and blue prints. In the school kitchen girls pre para for the future by amassing Knowledge that may save a life. America ' s future farmers, homemakers, and industrial workers are given basic training in Vocational Arts in Garrett High School. Boys planning to pursue a career as farmers may take from one to four years of agriculture. Three years of homemaking are offered to girls who want a knowledge of good grooming, family living, cooking, sewing, and child care. A boy who is interested in becoming a skilled industrial worker can receive his preliminary training in an Industrial Arts course. This in- cludes four years of shop and two years of me- chanical drawing. During his last two years of shop he is trained in working with wood, plastic, electricity, metal in machine, bench, or foundry. 24
