students toward further advancement Well-trained, qualified teachers composed the staff of the Mathematics Department. They instructed approximately 1440 students in courses such as: 8th Grade Mathematics, Mathematics I and II, Algebra I, II and Ad¬ vanced Algebra, Plane Geometry, Solid Geo¬ metry, introduction to Analysis, and Trigono¬ metry. A basic requirement of a C average was set by the Guidance Department for students continuing into higher mathematics. Seniors who took the two advanced classes of Trigono¬ metry-Solid Geometry, and Advanced Alge¬ bra-Analysis were better prepared for college mathematics work. Mobiles and other geome¬ tric designs were created by geometry students to help decorate the school for Christmas. Students were encouraged to enter mathe¬ matics projects in the Science Fair. Interests were cultivated by construction work done on symmetry and drawing a room to scale. Sara Dickinson and Terry Blackwell admire the mathematics poster during Career Week. MR. DANIEL H.
