The abc's, x's, and y's are juggled into a solution by students Dolores Descher, Catherine Allen, and Sophie Labenz . . . The best test of an algebraic mind lies in the ability to solve problemsg thus, these members of an advanced algebra group prove their skill accordingly . . . Senior trig students nfl. to nj Dolores Thon and Helen Mortimer exemplify their mathe- matics ability by tracing the cycle of various line func- tions--thus sines, cosines, and tangcnts are graphcd.
