Through eight teachers and various courses in general. commercial, and advanced math. the department offers a field of interest to just about every student. Shalt-r's math instructors are Mr. Dodds, Mr. Yankovic, Mr. Halecbkn. Mr. Auld, Mr. Ford. Mr. Davison, Mrs. Campbell. and Miss Long. Seventh and eighth graders study arithmetic in preparation fur higher math. .Ncademic students in higher classes study algebra. ad- vanced algebra, plane geometry. solid geometry. and trigonometry. Senior High commercial students study commercial and general math and bookkeeping. Evelyn Summerfield is proving a geometry problem while Ronny Rush watches.

The study of mathematics is made more in- teresting in many ways. Connnercial pupils work with practical devices that they will use when they have johs. .Xlgelmra students use interesting graphs in solving prolmlems and plane geometry students keep notebooks on their hardest prolmlems. The widest variety of projects is offered in solid geometry classes. This year the students made Christmas orna- ments from geometric shapes. Ted Yero won a ticket to L'inerama with a novel Sain' Nick illustrating interesting' planes. Some other ornaments were a reindeer nlade from cylinf ders, an angel made of cones. and an airplane made with pyramids. ln every way Shaler lligh's math department presents its sulmject efficiently and interestingly. Mr. l ord's classes in plane geometry made some novel and interesting exhihits for the corklmoards ahove the lmlackhoards. lfach of the Zll projects was designed to illustrate some fundamental geometric principle. ln addition to giving some of the potential artists and draftsmen a fine opportunity to demon- strate their ingenuity and skill. each student received valualmle training in the almility to see for himself and, at the same time. make ap- parent to others a practical representation of sf-me of the basic laws of geometry. ty? w .1 5 V , , V7 ' sv , J ' ' sr - af - XJ ' A v . N- v I ' 1 u In teaching math at Shaler, the instructors are careful to stress equally the theoretical and the practical aspects of math. Freshman .Xlgelmra and Sophomore Geometry are largely devoted to developing fundamentals. Never- the less. as a stimulus for student interest, students are taught such practical skills as lay- ing right angles in open lots. something every gardener should know. The advanced math students also receive practical instruction deal- ing with serveying and military sighting prola- lems. lifforts aimed at speeding up students' thinking are also made in the advanced courses. The goal of the Shaler math program is the development of students who can think through prolnlems and solve them quickly and accu- rately. ' Mr. Dodds shows joe Cramp how to use Iogarithms as the rest of the class gets busy on homework.
