Mr. Bishop and Mr. Lunsford discuss a new approach of presenting number bases other than ten with fellow algebra teacher Mr. Gussett. The student who enters geometry finds at first an amazing world of odd shapes and unfamiliar terms. But very soon this world becomes more meaningful. Theorems and the proof of these theorems may seem very confusing, but the use of these improves the pupil’s powrer of reasoning. By making the student think and by improving his power of reasoning, geometry aids the student in his other subjects. General math teaches the practical applications of mathematics. It reviews the fundamental operations of whole numbers, fractions, and decimal fractions and introduces the student to the more difficult mathe- matics of business and industry. The course in Algebra I begins the study of formula evaluations, algebraic expressions, word problems and factoring. Algebra II continues the study of formulas and algebraic equations and the methods by which these equations may be solved. Most important, it prepares the student for w’ork in higher math and for college board requirements. Analytics, also included in Algebra II, teaches the young mathematician how to plot and understand graphs.

By careful planning of their high school schedules, pupils may prepare for the various occupations which they may choose upon graduation. Those students de- siring to follow' this vocational program of Glynn Academy can take such courses as Driver’s Education, General Business, and Diversified Co-operative Training. For those students who wish to go into the field of business, teachers offer a good essential background through basic courses such as General Business, Short- hand, Typing, Bookkeeping, and Office Practice. Their studying is complete as pupils put their knowledge to practice through acting as secretaries for teachers who greatly appreciate their invaluable assistance. MRS. MARY T.
