Short cuts help m math. MATH CHARTED OUR CCURSE Math plots our course day by day as though we were only a point on a huge graph on which our ability is plotted against our intentions. From Algebra I to Trigonometry we gained valuable information that will assist us in our future be it industrial, commercial, or scientific. Our minds were broadened by our efforts which were directed and supplemented by our math department. We owe a great deal to those teachers who showed us the way. Only we ourselves can be held accountable for the outcome of our lives. Being a new school, a major objective of the math department was to set a high standard curriculum to be met by succeeding classes. And this was ac- complished. We will be able to look back on Gateway with great pride and ad- miration in the coming years. 7 Mrs. jollie Mr. Johnston Mr. johnson explains a plane geometry problem to Ruth McAllen as Cliff Lohr and Rocky M ignogna look on.

GUIDANCE PUT US INTO ORBIT M Mrs. Biesuz '1 .-9 Mr. Sparks Q N-,,,,.-Q-nf- R,-Q Mrs. Biesuz listens patiently to questions ol an inquiring young During the first week of school our guidance department was swamped with hundreds of students desiring schedule changes. Many prob- lems were solved by the efficiency and coopera- tion of our guidance counsellors, Mrs. Mary Biesuz and Mr. Claire Sparks. As the year pro- gressed, numerous interviews were conducted and various tests administered. Sophomores and juniors were aided with selection of subjects for the following year and qualified seniors were informed of scholarship opportunities. Among the tests conducted during the year were the Juniata College Test, the Kuder Interest Inven- tory, the California Test of Mental Maturity, and the National Merit Scholarship Test. The scores from these tests and the guidance we re- ceived have influenced our plans for the future and provided us with an ultimate goal in life. Mr. Sparks advises a Senior student.
