MR. VV, E. MOEELAND MR. J. H. WEIGHT MR. J. O. WEBB Superintendent of Schools Director of Personnel Assistant Superintendent Even the finest recipes are of little value unless they are in the hands of skillful cooks. Lamar is very for- tunate to be under the leadership of such a capable group of administrators. Mr. Moreland, Mr. Jeppesen, Mr. Wright, Mr. Webb, and all the members of the Board of Education give generously of their time and interest in order that the Houston Public School System may continue to function in its usual efficient manner.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT - lbi VF-4ac y sw? X- Tl ---- A-'T .... The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two legs ...... Formulas and equations are old friends to Lamar's mathematics students. Under the capable instructions of an excellent teaching staff, the budding mathematician is offered a year of algebra, a year of plane geometry, and a semester each of solid geometry and of trigonom- etry, as well as several valuable courses in com- mercial arithmetic. In every subject, the curriculum is enlivened by the practical application of math- ematics to everyday life, and by graphical illustra- tions of cause and effect. Consequently, a greater interest in the exact sciences is aroused, even among those for whom the mysteries of Euclid hold no pleasure. It is the hope and aim of the mathematics department to develop the power of reasoning in each and every student. Watching Mr. Adams demonstrate a fact in commercial arithmetic are Barry Braden, Carol McKissick, and Barbara Franklin. ef, 1775!
