Math Means Calculating, Solving What does 36-21-33 mean to you? Well, maybe so--but to the Mentone Math students it means a complementary angle. Eight graders adventures in Math led them to the measuring in geometry to a unit of trigonometry. Freshmen practiced their general math or indulged in a little algebra. Ask a sophomore to prove something and he can do it if he had geometry. A big part of the year was spent in logical proofs of geometric problems. Juniors were busy advancing their al- gebraic knowledge while Seniors dealt with what to expect and know in the first year of college. Highlight of the year included field trips to the Science and Industry Building and Manchester College. Mentone representatives in the na- tional math contest were: J. Romine, T. Meredith, and R. Schwenk. We were all proud of our thirty-seven other students who participated. Craig and Debbie solve the problems of eight grade math. Advanced Math brings a challenge to the senior guys.
