The cancer unit was handled dif- ferently from the others. All girls made a cancer notebook which, when completed, included: instructions, ref- erence notes, questions and answers, a cancer case history, and a current cancer 1'eport. A student-designed cover gave each notebook a profes- sional look. Fifty notebooks were then chczscn and sent to a number of cancer lieadquarters, district and state con- ventions, the State Department of Health, and various other places. Through these notebooks, students not only gained a better knowledge of cancer but also perforined a service for the community. 1-mls Xlrs Butlmtt Silly Mel idden Nlirilon VV1gner Snsin Cointt ind Ellen Coldbtrg iuiexx L ll'lCC1 nottbooks in ide in he llth classts

Mathematics Esther K. Duink VVillis Webster Algebra, Algebra, Geometry Trigonometry, Solid Geometry ,QL Harold L. XVells joseph M. Young Algebra, Ilealth Arithmetic, Reading Sally Bankson proves to Mr. Vfebster and members of her plane geometry class her ability to use axioms and postulates. Angles, axes and arcs challenge us. Armed with compasses, protractors, and slide rules, 283 students enrolled in mathemat- ics courses. In plane geometry, the theorems relating to plane figures were studied. Equa- tions, arithmetic and geometric series, and binomial theorem were covered in Algebra II. Advanced algebra mathematicians studied higher degree equations and were introduced to analytic geometry and the calculus. Trigono- metry students learned the functions of an angle and its applications. Solid geometry dealt with the relationship of lines and planes in space and with properties of regular solids. Our mathematics department prepares stu- dents to contribute to the space age. 15 Mr. Yvells explains to -lim Etzel and Peggy McCumber the basic fundamentals of algebra I.
