Among these are seventh. eighth, and ninth grade general arithmetic, business math and bookkeeping, two years of algebra, plane and solid geometry and trigo- nomctry. Eight instructors teach the students to understand this subject better by assigning projects which they enjoy working on. Eighth graders explored a bit of geometry as they worked on 3-D drawings. Mr. Fords geometry classes constructed some of their problems in wood or cardboard or cloth. The advanced algebra classes grafted some of their problems and the students who took solid geometry work- ed on 3-D construction projects. It is hoped that through this program Shafer graduates will know how to discover and remedy their ignorances. at the board while others Mills observes students are hard at work in their seats. M r.
