Hauser’s Mathematicians Discover Students at Hauser because of all the different math classes available had a chance to further their minds in the art of working with numbers. In their classes they were challenged, baffled, and thoroughly mixed up but as always the math students showed their ability and came through at the end of school feeling like scholars. Jr. High math taught Hauser’s young math scholars the basics of math. The Sr. High offered Algebra I, Geometry I, Algebra II, and Senior Math for the more ambitious students. Also it was possible to take Business Math and General Math for enlightening the practical mind. Mr. Tim Cooper, teaching Algebra I and II and General Math, was the only new teacher hired in the Math Department. The following quote is representative of most students’ feelings about math. They may like the subject and understand it but there always seems to be something that’s too deep. Winston Churchill expressed their frustrations in his own words. “I had a feeling once about Mathematics that I saw it all. Depth beyond Depth was revealed to me ... a quantity passing through infinity and changing its sign from plus to minus. I saw exactly how it happened and why . . . but it was after dinner and I let it go.”

Experiments, Dissections, and the Study Science, the ever-widening field of study, offered the inquisitive mind plenty of brainwork. The teachers, doing their part, dutifully taught the kids about human cells, friction or Mendeleyev Periodic Table, according to which science class it was. Biology class this year kept the students busy collecting wild flowers, insects, and leaves. Also they performed dissections. A few of these creatures they cut up were worms and frogs. Chemistry brought to light a completely different world involving chemicals and their reactions. Advancing their scientific knowledge, the physics’ students slaved away at figuring out formulas and performing experiments involving the properties of nature. Junior high science taught the students about the earth. Health class this year was centered around classroom discussions as taught by their teacher, Mrs. Betty Burney. Sophomore, Tom Flnke meets a new acquaintance in health class this year and it looks like it is love at first sight. 22 Adjusting the balance with the precision of a professional chemist is Mike Kennedy as he weighs this graduated cylinder.
