MATH George Gibbons and Linda Ballis analyze the special properties of thirty-sixty right triangles. At the top of the blackboard is a slide rule for demonstra- tions. Mathematics courses consisted of plane and solid geometry, algebra I and II, general mathe- matics and trigonometry. In algebra II class slide rule and logarithms re- ceived greatest emphasis. Persons taking algebra I studied radicals and second degree equations. Dis - playing artistic talent, the plane geometry classes made intricate designs and figures. To learn funda- mental principles remained the objective of the general math classes. For the second year trigonometry and solid geometry were offered as electives. Numbering only nine, the students delved deeply into the two subjects. Learning use of figures Murri Hair employs a pointer in alge- bra H. On the bulletin board are dis played geometric designs.
