Learning for Today “Yesterday is already a dream. Tomorrow is only a vision. Today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness, every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.” '-From the Sanskrit Today’s educational opportunities found acceptance by Hauser students through the diligent efforts of the high school faculty. Mrs. Lyon, Mrs. Shaw, and Mr. Essex found their positions on the Hauser teaching staff and, along with the other teachers, actively prepared their students for the challenges of today’s world. Preparation of lessons often required the use of the Robert Norris Library. A daily average of approximately 125 students satisfied this requirement in the library which contained over four thousand volumes and subscribed to nearly every major periodical. This year marked the entrance of the Modern English program at Hauser. Replacing the traditional first semester— English, second semester—Literature, the new concept of education was met with the enthusiatic response of both students and teachers. Preparing students for the world of today includes an education in the ideals of democracy. Hauser students realistically discovered the power of the ballot when they participated in a mock election for state and national candidates. Totally, it was evident that Hauser prepared its students for the challenges and rewards of today. 13

Math Students Discover That It’s Not All as WORKING WITH sets of numbers is one of the many facets of Freshman Algebra class. Vicki Bullard works busily at the blackboard in Miss Powers’ class. TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS of a right triangle become clearer to Mike Percifield as Debbie Miller explains an example in their second period Senior Math Class. Today’s world is a world in which the knowledge of mathematical principles is invaluable. Hauser math teachers worked hard this year to prepare their students to meet this challenge. Junior high students were versed in the elementary ideas of algebra, geometry, and general mathematics through the efforts of Mrs. Marie Talley. Miss Powers not only instructed various high school math courses but also taught an eighth grade class. As the name implies, Business Arithmetic, taught by Miss Powers, covers the working of financial problems in the business field. Along with teaching a single Algebra I class, Miss Powers informed freshmen in the nonacademic General Math course. Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and Senior Math constituted the long list of courses taught by Mrs. Mabel Utter. Freshmen Algebra consisted of an examination of the number system and the solving of algebraic equations while the Geometry class emphasized deductive reasoning through proofs. Juniors who took Advanced Algebra factored, used logarithms, and solved equations by means of determinants. Finally, the Senior Math students studied solid geometry, trigonometry, and analytic geometry then finished the year with a general review of algebra. 14
