Ping-pong Sparks Enthusiasm From Students A new sports activity joined the physical education program at school—ping pong. During physical education periods stu- dents determinedly battled one another over the nets. Students in the physical education class- es played basketball, performed tumbling feats, and bounded daringly on the tram- poline. In the spring, the classes enjoyed baseball, softball, and track. With classroom instruction, Mrs. Ash- craft taught the 8th and 9th grade stu- dents the first aid principles two days a week. The sophomore course included driver's education in the classroom and behind the wheel. Enjoying a new sport at school, Debbie Wood battles an opponent in a fast game of ping pong. “This must be easier said than done!’ exclaims Paula Johnson as she vainly attempts to jack up a car for driver’s education class.

Math Department Expands in ’66 Wielding graph paper, compasses, rulers, protractors, and reams of paper, students journeyed to various math classes. The eighth graders touched upon the generals of math, gaining a basic foundation for future years in the field of mathematics. Discovering polynomials, Algebra | students tackled with the slope of a line and determinants. Geometry students, both plain and solid, were faced with proving theorems and constructing intricate geomet- ric figures. With solid prisms, cones, pyramids, and spheres, they could better visualize difficult problems. Those taking trigonometry advanced to solving trian- gles using sine, cosine and tangent, while other basics included learning how to recognize functions and to in- terpolate. The ‘66 math department offered a.new course—ad- vanced math. Students investigated the theories of math functions and were introduced to matrix algebra. MRS. JEAN ELLIS MR.

New “Tools’”’ Propel Students into Business World Loud, frustrated sighs accompanied the tapping of the typewriters heard in the business department. Students taking typing composed and typed letters, manvu- scripts, envelopes; and took timings. Neat- ness, which sometimes seemed virtually impossible, was foremost. For some, shorthand proved as harrow- ing as typing. These students took dic- tation for speed and accuracy. Also, there were tests on brief forms, the “alphabet’’ of shorthand. In its second year at MHS, personal typ- ing aided those students headed for col- lege. Seniors who planned to seek employ- Addition—Subtraction—Multiplication—Division! One machine can perform all these feats? ment after graduation found secretarial practice a preview of what to expect “on the job.” Mrs. Rice dictates to her sixth period shorthand II class. Gradually in- creasing the speed, she prepares her students for their future secre- tarial jobs. MRS. PATRICIA BREEDEN, Personal Typing, Bookkeeping, FBLA MRS. BETTY RICE, Typing Il, Shorthand |, II, Secretarial Office Practice Trojan Practice, efficiency, and speed are words drilled into the minds of all shorthand students.
