Such classes as Business Arithmetic and Consumer Math taught methods of putting numbers to work in the commercial world, while Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry pre- pared Blairites for mathematical theory in college. Also taught this year were three advanced courses for CPA students. Math II, III, and IV included basic algebra, the geometries and trigonornetry in a three- year program terminating with an introduction to calculus. Students in these mathematics courses hoped to qualify for advanced mathematical standing in college. The training that students of mathematics received in the language of the sciencesi' will bene- fit them in their future occupations and lay the founda- tion for further study. BARRY DAHL and Fred Steele take notes in their Trigonometry class. .,,f' CONCENTRIC CIRCLES pose no problems for Plane Geometry students Tom Ramick and Karen Miller.

In Biology, students discovered the many wonders of plant and animal life through class study and labo- ratory dissections. Blairls budding chemists, Working in up-to-date laboratories and classrooms, discovered first-hand knowledge ofthe wondrous chemical world. In Physics, students Worked to combine the abstract theories learned in mathematics with the functionings ofthe natural World. SUE RADER and Albert Schwimer examine the results of a filter test in Senior Chemistry. Sciences LEARNING the principles of simple machines, Julius Lewis, Tom Thorn- burg, and Mike Berkus compare actual and ideal mechanical advan- tages in their two-period Advanced Physics class. , 45? a A fa, 'Wi 35 tv' fl 4' ,si 'L l l li' N 1--iv' -sf ' ,fsiiig f any M, ..g1+'gi,?- Y Mr. Kulakovvski LISTENING INTENTLY during the P.T.A.
