Need for Precision From the fundamental mathematics of Junior High to the advanced learning of Senior Math, the students of Hauser find many opportunities for development in math. Seventh and eighth grade students are introduced to beginning Mathematics, Algebra, and Geometry by Mrs. Marie Talley. Freshman Algebra students become acquainted with Algebra as they learn to read graphs and to solve algebraic equations. Miss Helen Powers conducts Freshman Algebra classes and also teaches General Math to those not wishing to major in academic courses. Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and Senior Math classes are taught by Mrs. Mabel Utter. Right before Christmas, Senior Math students help decorate the school with geometric decorations. The front display case is decorated with their mobiles of polyhedrons along with wrapping paper, Christmas trees and stars. “ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?” Mrs. Utter answers questions about a problem she has written on the overhead projector. 13 A LESSON A DAY ... Marsha Norris and Larry Simmons check their homework as Larry Henry listens to Mrs. Utter answering his question about an Advanced Algebra problem.

Experiments Enable Hauser Science Students to Chemistry and Physics pose a harder problem for senior high students than any science has before. Mr. Clayton makes these subjects both interesting and educational. He furthers the knowledge of his classes by teaching slide rule and supervising experiments given by the students. Along with experiments, the basic theories of Chemistry and Physics are presented. Many formulas and symbols are learned and put to use by these classes. During the year the science classes take alternate turns in setting up their display case. Many different aspects of mod modern science are shown through the use of plastic models and other equipment. 3 POUNDS, 5 OUNCES!
