The Campus II building practiced the con- cept that students should have reasonably free access to the library. Students who wanted to use the library merely signed a sheet in the library. This completely eliminated the need lor the library permits which formerly had to be signed by the teachers. More students were allowed into the library, and more Students used Herbert Barrels searched lor a book to aid him in his research paper. Classes took advantage ol' its resources. The vast majority of students accepted the new policy with respect forthe responsi- bility it entailed. The intention ofthe Harold I.. Richards library was to build a materials collection of excellent quality lor the use of the students and to make it as accessible as possible at the satire time. - Gerry Yartunas proved the necessity ol' a card catalog as it aided her in the search lor a special book.

Reasoning, logic were results of mathematics Speed of calculation in algebra was improved by use ofthe slide rule as shown by joyce Dyke. jerry Staniszewsld, and Steve Schmiedl. Concentration and elibrt were needed to solve Ford Smith's mathematics problems. 38 Q G sh. in A ii v l 1 ,A l Graphing straight lillES and conic sections helped in visualizing functions in Miss W i Knowledge of mathematics was essential to students for suc- cess in any future vocation. Math courses were designed to fit the needs and abilities of all students. College-bound students, especially those planning science or engineering careers, con- tinued their mathematics education beyond the required one year. Courses varying from general math to calculus were avail- able at Harold L. Richards. Knowledge of mathematics proved important in many of the science courses, such as chemistry and physics. Although students were only required to select one course in mathematics in order to graduate, a vast number of students took advantage of the courses offered each year. Per- haps the most practical and valuable knowledge was found in the Mathematics Department. Close attention to the theoretical basis of algebra was necessary in Mr. Nichol- son's Accelerated Algebra class.
