and Mental Alertness Hesitant freshmen found no by-pass and no substitution for general math as they filled out their four-year plan.

The solving of equations, both written and numerical, was a greater task than was expected by most students. During the year stud e nts grasped the knowledge laid before them and were capable of taking more advanced course s at the completion of Algebra II. Miss Donna Elizabeth Gilley B. S. , A. S. T. C.
