The growth of modern sciences and their need for accuracy has opened new fields of inquiry and has ushered in a new era of development in practical or applied mathematics. In McKinley we are taught algebra, geometry, and gen- eral mathematics in order to keep up with the growing importance of this subject.

MUSIC BAND VOCAL Ychairman Out of the strain of doing - into the peace of done. Julia Woodruff At my very first band concert in the 7th grade, we ama- Mrs. Jane Malin, teur musicians were quite nervous. We were sure that our concert would be a complete failure. X. im We thought that the audience would get up and leave, but happily to our surprise, they applauded it an overwhelming .f XR success. J X r Now, two years later, we are in the Senior Band and we X . f are preparing for our annual concerts with the help of our j ' T. new band conductor Mrs. Malin. Weis ' 't' ' lllij wil ., We were all very sorry to say good-bye to Mr. Commer- W y chero last June. Band never seemed to be a subject. Mr. 5' Commerchero had a way of turning the period into fun and in something we really wanted to learn. Now we are happy that Mrs. Malin is continuing in Mr. Commerchero's role to encourage and develop the musical potential of all the band students. .Deborah Warburton 9A1 Miss Brenda Hart, Christine Penzin 9A1 My Leomwd Thomas? God respects me when I work but He loves me when I sing. When an audience sits back and applauds one of McKinley's vocal concerts, they can't possibly realize the long hours of practice put into it. First there is the selection of songs, which have a special meaning to all of today's generation. Then come the hours of working on the songs with our instructor, Mr. Thomas and his assistant, Miss Hart. But vocal isn't always singing choral songs. Times change, we change and so does our music. In vocal we sing different songs, rock 'n' roll, classical music, show tunes, and spirituals that provide a variety of music for everyone's enjoyment. Vocal is not only a subject, but a fulfilling experience. Maria Logus 9Hl Maureen Lewis 9A1 Lucile Pettersson 9A1 Richard Jacobs 9A1 if ,+R ,O px GNL EQ? ge? W

Mr. Michael Bmfken, Mrs. Edith O'DonneZlf, READING Miss Anne Pawfilli, Mrs. Ruth Spital Through books our minds are opened to the beauties of the world. In the remedial reading classes at McKinley, we increase our reading comprehension and improve our vocabulary skill. Most important, we realize that there are books that deal with our own problems, our own activities and our own world. We visit the library frequently and, above all, we learn that reading really can be fun. Jody Hedlund 9H1 Q..-........ . . ,W I K f 9 Cen mv' 'A - A r 'I if---.., .l 'gif-,.:,f 'Y' jf NY '-::x.
