Complex Techniques Induce Logical Thinking Mathematics are used in every phase of life. Young and old alike are challenged with problems in everyday situations which require logical thinking. Teens at Hauser were able to accomplish these math goals through visual aids and the help of geometric figures. Thus, students became aware that knowledge learned at the present could be applied in the future as well as to their high school career. Students were given a wide selection of subjects in the math department. Teachers, including Mrs. Mabel Utter, Miss Helen Powers, and Mrs. Janet Barnett, provided the guidance and assistance which was needed by junior high and high school pupils alike. Subjects ranging from academic to non-academic courses were offered. Those who desired preparation for college chose algebra,geometry, advanced algebra, and senior math. Students looking for a business career found business arithmetic an aid to them, while those wanting math fundamentals preferred general math as their source for knowledge. Junior high students learned the fundamentals of basic mathematics to aid them in their study. “HANG ’EM high.” says George Curry as he instructs Carol Hoy on how the senior math Christmas decorations should be hung for the front hall showcase. 17 BY GEORGE I’ve got it!” smiles Dale Henderson to himself, while in the background Skip Robertson still contemplates over his problem.

Business Students Verify the Importance of Many Hauser students took the opportunity of learning skills through various business courses, to prepare them for future business careers. Among various items discussed in general business were bank reconciliations, correctly reading timetables, writing checks, and keeping simple business records. Typing I, taught by Mr. Wickard, was kept busy learning and constantly reviewing the keyboard. Students also were drilled on the basic theme of perfection accuracy, as well as speed. Typing II continued to build these skills, and in addition, tackled more difficult phases of typing. Seniors taking business machines also faced mastering the keyboard of various office machines. With Mr. Wickard as their guide, they applied mathematics to business. Junior and senior girls with secretarial careers in mind took Shorthand I and II. Dictation, comprehension, and speed were taken up in the class, under the supervision of Mrs. Guyneth Webster. Another of Mrs. Webster’s classes was bookkeeping. The students learned to keep records using the entire bookkeeping cycle beginning with opening entries in the journal through closing the ledger accounts. AS THE CARRIAGE ELIES across the desk. Bob Keller watches the words appear on the paper to insure himself that he has fully mastered the keyboard in Typing I.
