Mr. Lindler discusses ci geometric construction with Jeanette Boynhom and Jimmy Mumford. MATHEMATICS . . . FROM SIMPLE PROBLEMS TO HARDEST COURSES You canit add cats and dogsn is the motto of the algebra classes. XVith determination, study, and hard Work, the student masters exponents, factors, literal numbers, coefticients and formulas. Most plane geometry students are challenged to learn the theorems, postulates, and axioms and then use them properly. Seniors who study trigonometry might be confused by sines, cosines .ind tangents except for the excellent guidance of the teachers. These courses are quite important for the future engineers and scientists, as well as all who plan to go to college. Mathematics has increased in importance. To compete with foreign countries in the race for the moon, the citizen of to- morrow must possess gi vast knowledge of mathematics. t Nh

Miss Lois Greene Mr, Jim Buigf ,Mr. Buist explains a physics experiment to Glen Pentecost, Brenda kBarton, and Bill Alexander. e'FOREIGN LANGUAGE - THE OPEN DOOR TO A GREAT WORLD Foreign language classes play a vital part in the curriculum of the school. The sophomore students study the history and customs of Rome. Derivative notebooks kept by Latin students aid in in- creasing their vocabulary.

These courses not only take up practical problems but also provide the necessary theoretical background for college work. Feeding the fish is a daily iob for Bill Blakely and Lloyd Fowler as they help Miss Greene in the Biology lab. The Latin projects are to come from these pages, Mrs. Brown tells Rachel Smith, Janice Wells, Paul Hyer, and Jimmy Turner. Mrs. Elizabeth Godfrey Mrs. Sandra Brown N' situ, . fffkm 1, Z ..

VOCATIONAL TRAINING VALUABLE IN CHOOSING CAREERS Sounds of machinery and construction rise from the shop classes. Once or twice a year the boys display with pride their handiwork. The projects vary from Inoolscases to tables and chairs. The beautiful large sketches of angles, lines. and design seen in room seven reflect long hours of hard work by the mechanical drawing classes. The instructions received there will be of great value to the future engineers and draftsmen. Commercial stu- dents acquire expert skill in typewriting, shorthand, and hook- keeping. By using modern equipment, they gain practice in business methods. These courses help prepare them for secretarial and accounting careers. ,:q, wg. . 1 4 .K i . . .
