Math In keeping with the state and national trend in mathematics curriculum, McMinnville High School presents a versatile program designed to meet the varying abilities and needs of all students. At each level the understanding of concepts has been re-emphasized. This has not eliminated the need for basic skills, but has lessened the drill required for mastery. This approach has provided opportunity for presentation of ideas not previously found in the high school curriculum. MR. VERBAL SNOOK Mafh VII Moth VI Algebra II MR. DAVE COX Geometry MR.

English And Speech Since the mark of an educated person is his use of language, the aim of the McMinnville High School English Program is to develop in all students the ability to think and to express themselves in clear, correct English and to help them acquire a taste for good literature. To provide this program, the English Department has developed programs that will fit the needs of every student. For the student who is terminating his education there is a program that gives him study experiences that can be used both in his vocations and avocations. The college - bound student receives background materials that will prepare him for college. Students who have mastered grammar and have read widely are given the opportunity to participate in an advanced program in preparation for college work. Junior English teacher James Lee explains fine point about the works of Elinor Wylie in o unit on poetry. MR. NEAL TIGNER Speech One of the most challenging courses offered to students is speech. Besides participating in public speaking, students also use skills in organization and writing. With continued practice they develop poise while expressing their ideas, as shown by Scott Manes. 25
