Calculators Add Interest To US Math Computers and calculators were integrated into many Greenhill classrooms this year, for the math department feels that, after the students grasp the elementary theories, calculators should be used to lift some of the tediousness from math work. With the introduction of the computer into the Upper School building, special electives were establishedg these classes were well received. Because only one person can presently use the machine at a time, in the future Greenhill hopes to add auxiliary equipment. The courses offered in math this year were basically the same as those offered last year fAlgebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Calculusj, but new electives such as those concerning the computer were added. These were Statistics, Number Theory, and the Impact of Mathematics on the Western World. W David Clark Bobbie Ferrell Dennis Griebel Mike Keyton Wes Kittleman

Buchanan Emphasizes wareness Of Culture Ray Buchanan, the new head of the History Department, has said that the department is oriented toward giving each individual an awareness of his or her role in Western society, an awareness of the organization and history of Occidental culture, an awareness of the development of other major cultures, and an awareness of the interaction between them and Western culture in America. Grades one through three concentrate on learning about the workings of the family, in later grades, the meaning of 'family' is extended to be synonymous with 'community' and 'nationf Grades four through seven study the history of Western culture in general, America and Texas in particular. Students in eighth grade learn about Third World culture - especially about Chinese, Indian, and African cultures. Dr. Buchanan believes that the academic atmosphere which pervades Greenhill is caused by the attitudes of its faculty. He feels that its teachers are all excellent and interesting people, are interested in subjects both in and out of their academic fields, and who do their jobs admirablyg they create this valuable awareness of culture.
