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.

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

Romance languages-The cornerstone Margaret Boal Frances H. Deiter English English Languages i'Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and Writing an exact inanfi The English department encompassed these three essentials of education through academic, gen- eral, connnercial, and vocational English. Be- sides these four divisions, two advanced aca- demic classes were ollered for those juniors and seniors who wanted a more intense Eng- lish background. English classes, Which were required of all students, strove for a well balanced program of grainmar, literature, reading, and composi- tion. A department-sponsored trip to Edinboro State Teachers College to see Shakespeareis ululius Caesarn was taken on November fourteenth. In addition to mastering their own language, 188 students tackled a foreign tongue. Study- ing under Miss Eddy for the past year, forty- five senors and senoritas and thirty-five ines- sicurs and inesdemoiselles gained knowledge in the language field. Various devices, in- cluding singing and talking records, bulletin boards, and displays aided in the French and Spanish students' learning. Mrs. Haneyis 143 Latin students learned necessary background by means of slides, art Works, and handicrafts. Plays and speeches increased their vocabularies. On December first, Mrs. Skinner replaced Mrs. Haney who resigned and now resides in Florida. 'ri - or is .E 2 Beryl Eddy Evelyn A. Haney Ruth L.
