The math departments faculty obviously kept abreast of newer approaches for the students of math did not doubt that those figures and numbers were strange sights to behold. The capable freshman algebra teachers, Miss Bessie Sanford and Mrs. Pat Aiken completely aroused their students to the fact that a knowledge of mathematics is necessary to become specialists in any field of work.
