It ' s heyonil me. Laurence imzzles in trigonometry. ■Jimmy and Isla Jean struggle to get the angles equal in a geometry problem. This ought to he right. Larry decides in algebra class. Dealers In Numbers Making a round of the mathematics classes, I found how busy the teachers are, Wit confided to an interested Nitsi. For instance, Basil T. Knight, in addition to his c lasses in first and second year algebra, supervises the sale of SBA tickets. Miss Lois Baughman, who teaches plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry, is also a co-sponsor of the class of ' 5 3. Besides his coaching duties and the responsibility of his general mathematics and algebra classes, Edward Keswick is one of the sophomore class sponsors. Mrs. Juanita Sanders finds a full schedule in teaching algebra and general mathematics. Co-sponsoring Y-Teens fills Miss Gunhild Gustafson ' s time when she ' s not teaching algebra and plane geometry. Mrs. Juanita Sanders displays a coming math project to Miss Gunhild Gustafson.

Students use drawings, specimens, workbooks, and even make dissections along with their regular textbook work. Mr. Born cleared a lot of everyday questions pertaining to gravity, light, sound, electricity, and numerous other aspects of physics by demonstrations and explanations in his classes. The first semester he kept the students busy as a bookworm in a best seller writing reports and doing experiments, but he eased up later when field trips to places like Martin ' s Mortuary, City Water Works, and the Oxygen Plant diversified routine class work, com mented Nitsi. Under the instruction of Ed Whalley, students learned chem- ical formulas and the fundamental laws of chemistry. This knowledge was put to use when they mixed their own solu- tions on the two lab days a week. Wit addeil.

t,r J €. CuiUrAl- -H Practicing Citizens I found that students of GJHS have an excellent opportunity to become i;ood drivers, revealed Nit. Driver training, which was introduced to (iJHS three years ago, is instructed by J. B. Woot- ten and gives eight weeks of class work, including the study of Colorado state driving laws, safety rules, the parts of a car, and the general idea of driving a car. When this work is completed, the students use this knowledge in actual driving. In this class which is taken during study pe- riods, they master signaling, driving in traffic, backing, parallel parking, angle parking, and safe maneuvering of a car, Nitsi added. Arthur Harmn explainn the iirinciplr.s niitl purposes uf DE to Lois. ■:.i .ii Say, Nitsi, did you know that distributive education, under Arthur Harms, allows students to work afternoons? questioned Wit. Not only that, but this course for seniors allows them to receive one credit for classroom training and an additional credit for working afternoons. Students have to work 15 hours a week and 3 weeks a year to earn their credit. The group this year was composed of 29 students who earned approximately $20,000 this school year. Not just anyone gets to take DE either, Nitsi added. Those who take elementary retailing have the first choice of entering the class. Students already having jobs are given the second chance, and others may enter only if there is enough seating space. Mr. Harms, who also sponsors DE Club and the senior class, gives his students a good background for the business world by instructing them in sales promotion, business math, and getting along with people, Nitsi concluded.
