ROY H. LANE Bowdoin College A.B.; Harvard University A M.; Algebra I. II. Geometry. Trigonometry. Calculus. An- alytical Geometry. Mathematics Depart- ment Chairman; Math Club and Math Team Adviser. Mathematics Because it is more than mere numbers, mathematics integrates imagination with facts and provides not only knowledge to fulfill present needs but also background material which will be valuable in future years. Students in college preparatory courses are presented all the basic concepts they can assimilate in the fundamental ideas and techniques of mathematics. The efforts of the department have been well rewarded by the outstanding record of the math team in the state-wide contests. Practical application of classroom knowledge is emphasized in shop, business, and general mathematics courses designed to prepare students for vocations. KENNETH W.
