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.

New Wing Used This year a new course, Business Machines, was offered by the business department. Through this subject students became acquainted with the IBM machines, adding machines, electric type- writers, calculators, and other devices employed in an office. E Wing was extended by twice its original size to accommodate the growing commercial classes and additional equipment. All business courses were located in this area. Learning to type on electric typewriters rapidly and efficiently is the main goal of Typing II classes.
