Let's start here, said Anne Chagaris, as she explained a prob- justly called the queen of sciences math reigned in New Bern High as the teacher of sound reasoning and accurate analytical think- ing. In the geometry classes students armed with compasses and protractors attacked all kinds of circles, triangles, and parallelogramsg and in the algebra classes students traveled from abacus to slide rule in their efforts to solve equations for both real and imaginary numbers. ll Ecpif to pr to bi modl 'l grail to el gina geon men lf: ICU lem to the trig class. 4 1.

Frances Daughety, Bobby jones, Gilbert Scales, and Melba Hol- ten tested the accuracy of the linear table given in their textbook I I l l l' Siu J . gg ,:- . 1: And these denizens of solid geometry toyed with precision-built geometric figures! Henry XVooten, senior. combined physics and math as he computed his own horse power and concluded that the day might come when a scientist would be as important as a good fullbilck. Zl l 4 i J . l l 1
