Mrs. Hengstenberg Mr. Schachterle HQNQW ,Y SM S G Taught Heading the Math department and also serv- ing as President of the New Mexico Council of Teachers of Mathematics was Mr. james Meaders. A group of four students at Stanford Univer- sity devised a new course, School Mathematics Study Group. Mr. Meaders is helping this study by teaching the experimental class to advanced seniors. SMSG deals with the study of calculus at a college level. Reports are sent to Stanford every so often on the progress of the experimental course. Considered the best preparatory course of Calculus and College Mathematics, the Illinois Math program was again used for the fifth year.

Courses Change This year an advanced class for sophomores was offered to those showing interest in American History and with a high grade average in the ubject. Sociology and Economics proved to be of in- terest to the students. Enrollment in these classes was noticeably larger than last year. The subject formerly called International Re- lations was renamed Geography and Current Events and more stress was placed on the loca- tion of countries in relation to the major events. A unified department, social studies continued to offer students challenges in thinking, an aware- ness of current problems and their historical counterparts, and foundations of government.
