athematics Department How do you feel about the square of the hypote- nuse? parabolas? isosceles triangles? and two plus two being four? If youlre interested. youive come to the right place-the math department. lt is here that we are given training in not only highly in- volved mathematical science. but also in an accuracy and challenge that will serve us in an infinite number of ways. Algebra I and II, the beginning academic course offered at Jeff, is a study of the basic principles of algebra. the unknown number. its derivations. and its solutions. For further continuation of this branch. courses of advanced and college algebra are offered. Plane geometry is the college preparatory course which deals with theorems, propositions. and proofs and is taken in the second year. Solid geometry is the study ofthe third dimension. an unusual concept of math. taken in the junior year and taught by Miss Seever. Trigonometry. the science of surveyance. is taken in the senior year and is taught by Mr. Kenzler. To sharpen our skills in computing long lists of figures. a commercial course of math is taught by Miss Seever. We have a strong. capable math department in both the junior and senior high. Our junior high department consists of Mr. David Bonham. Mr. Ern- est Deagan. Miss Ruth Sexton. and Mr. Leonard Walke1'. all of whom teach both algebra and general inathematics. Upon necessity. Mr. Deagan teaches the remedial math course. Miss Mary Frances Seever. Mr. George Kenzler. Mr. Milton Leverenz. and Mr. Robert Tay- lor are the teachers in our senior high department. Plane geometry is taught by each of these teachers. o lie 1 a o boarr wen ans assi' M1 ll N Bonham :nukes his point willl thc help of a special chart as ments ns t ass soaks in some ncw l-znowletlgc.
