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

Carol Moll and Sarah Ann Fox ciecicie how much weight has been lost while Mr. Stauffer watches with interest. Kutztown is aware of the need for scientific education anci gives its pupils an extra opportunity to get that eclucation. Physics classes are held for three hours each Thursday evening for in- teresteci pupils. The courses offered during the school clay include biology, chemistry, and physics. Pupil interest in science fairs is increasing steadily. and several students are planning to attencl the various summer seminars which are being heici at nearby colleges and high schools. We can all he grateful for the opportunities and advantages which the cleciicateci memhers of our science faculty have given us. 12 General students, perch- ed on the stools in the chem. lah, use their spare time wisely. 19
