It may seem unbelievable, but Mrs. Doris Moore’s second period advanced algebra class found it to be true. Sixteen mathematically adept seniors endeavor to explore fields of higher mathematics in this class. To assist them with their work, a new supplementary text- book, INTRODUCTION TO SETS AND INEQUALI- TIES, is used along with their regular text. Interesting areas which the class diligently studies include such subjects as imaginary numbers, calculus, analytical geometry, and statistics. Besides advanced classes such as this, the Mathemat- ics Department offers complete courses in business, cer- tificate, and straight college preparatory mathematics. points with a straight edge to her favorite conversationalist, the inter- communication system. “Where do I go from here?” Laurence Boyce asks the algebra class while working a typical algebraic problem.

The Roman ban- quet sponsored by Mrs. Geralene Suttton served as a means of learning, as well as a pleasant diversion from the classroom. In addition, the Screen News Digests pro- duced by a local newspaper have been a great help to students in understanding world affairs. With these new approaches to learning, students de- velop the moral and spiritual stamina essential to a democratic society. As President Kennedy reminds us, “History not only teaches, it illuminates. And with illumination, we can penetrate the darkness of any prob- lem that threatens us in the months and years that lie ahead.” Pac Sa Soil S a Administration and Departments 2 | — —
