F AXIOMS A D ANGLE In this era of satellites and outer space, mathe- matics is continuing to play a prominent part in the future of our country. We are meeting this challenge hy malcing mathematics courses compulsory for all high school students. Aca- demic pupils struggle through algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and solid geometry. General students receive a review of mathe- matics, algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and practical mathematics. Commercial stu- dents take business and consumer mathematics, and two years of hoolclceeping. Vocational students have practical mathematics and a re- view of mathematics. Our mathematics instruc- tors are LeRoy Schollen- herger, Richard C. Gougler, J. Richard Wagner, and Charles E. Trafford. Our advanced mathematics class, available to any of those students who have maintained an A or a B average in their regular academic mathematics courses, is using a college text- hoolc to cover material which the regular classes never study. Most of the students taking this course wish to malce that subject their career or plan to use it in their worlc in a related field. Each year ,three of this class's memhers, selected on the basis of mathematics ability and grades, are sent to participate in the Berks County Mathematics Test. This yearys delegates were Diana DeRagon, Karen Herring, and Thomas Ludwig. Our prize math pupils, the advanced mathematics class, are: Standing--Jean Adams, Christine Schuclcer, Thomas Ludwig, and Arlan Gehmang Seated'--Ralph Kramer, Karen Herring, and Diana DeRagon. Mr. Gougler is the instructor. 17 Logs, co-logs, and anti-logs make life difficult for these mathematics students

A 12 Academic Problems of Democracy class learns that our country's political and economic structure is a loit more compli- cated than it would appear at a first glance. FR 0 A THENS T0 AMERICA To be able to learn and profit by ott1er's mistakes is one of the finest advan- tages of our modern times. We have studied the techniques and characteristics of the ancient and contemporary civilizations in our social studies classes. In tenth grade We reviewed world history, in the junior year we studied American history, and in our senior year we took a course in Problems of Democracy. Our work in all of ttlese classes was supplemented by tiimstrips and movies, maps, outside reports, and field trips-Gettysburg in eleventh grade and the Berks County Court- house in twelfth grade. A novel and interesting project was the sham stock market on which we speculated in our senior year. The daily current events reports and discussions provided an interesting sidelight While they kept us informed on the happenings of the world today. William E. Moyer, John S. Davies, Paul L. Hunsberger, Le- Roy Scholienberger, and Charles Z. Angstadt comprise tire Social Studies faculty. I6
