Mr. Samuelson combined his friendly attitudo oword students with his willingness to help them to produce an informal, enjoyable atmosphere in his math classes. So many of the things in our lives depend on numbers. Bridges, houses, roads, and cars are all built with the use of numbers. Ships and planes would be lost at sea if they had no means for finding their position. Mathematics, the science of the relationships of numbers, is taught at four levels—algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and Moth V. Algebra I and Algebra II are where some of us were first introduced to unknowns in functions and relationships and some of the advanced maths. Plane and solid geometry were concerned more with the theories of math than the actual mechanics of numbers. Theorems of plane and solid figures were proven so to make the solving of polygons. We worked with the triangle in trigonometry. We began with right triangles and finished with scalar and obtuse triangles finding solutions for the unknown angles and sides. Math V was available for those who cared to delve further into the workings and mechanisms of the world of numbers, and gave more background to those who planned to continue math in college. 14

Speaking Out— an Ability Essential to Our Education Turn up the volumel called out Mr. Eiesland os a panel In speech shyly expressed tholr vlows. Mr. Eioslond's crow of unlimited ability in dobot®: S. Carlson, C. Benson, B. Johnson, D. Patch, S. Hanson, T. Duran, N. Pohl, $. Kolly, H. Davis, The classroom was filled with silent tension as the class waited for Mr. Eiesland to finish his comments. He quietly broke the silence with, Linda? . Each student experienced this same nerve-wracking anticipation, which remained and will always remain in spite of the skill and confidence gained in the course. The four walls of the speech room witnessed skits, political campaigns, debates, symposiums, and a large dose of friendly criticism. Speaking is communication,- communication is indispensable. Speech class is our attempt to bridge the gap of misunderstanding and enmity that results from poor communication. For those who liked the challenge of persuasive speech, debate offered a satisfying outlet. The debate team spent long hours and worked hord, but at the crucial moment of presentation, the exhausting preparation seemed well worth the effort exerted. Listening to o student speak, Mr. Eiesland ponders over o critical remark.
