Miss Mildred Caldwell Latin I, II, III Mrs. MaryAnnKrivda French II, III, IV, V Mrs. Dorothy Lewis Spanish I, II, III Miss Ellen Miller French I, II Mrs. Kathleen Ray Spanish I On a normal day at Sharon High the halls echo not only with phrases like ”Hey, meet me by the stairs after class,” but also Comment allez-vous?” or iComa esta ustedT’ as students practice their knowledge of Spanish and F rench. Other students study Latin to improve their English vocabulary. We not only learn grammar and conversation, but also the culture and customs of the particular country. By learning their language we can unlock the door of understanding between nations and peoples. ABOVE: French Christmas cards made for Mrs. Krivda's French II class.

Business Math, Geometry Miss Geraldine Holliday Geometry, Algebra Mr. Arthur Houck Geometry, Algebra II Miss Florence Stewart Trig-Algebra, Calculus, Algebra supreme beauty.’ Russell ABOVE: Mr. Houck points out congruent triangles on a flannel board he made for class demonstrations. BELOW: Bill Robertson consults with Miss Holliday on a tricky equation. When a confused geometry student was asked to bisect an angle she hurriedly replied Oh I can do that; we did it just the other day in Biology! In preparation for a test, a worried student asks another what a rhombus is and gets the answer, I don’t know what it has to do with algebra, but I think it's some kind of animal! The daring students who go on to Trig and Calculus may find the equation of a hyperbola: ax2-by c a bit hard to remember, but they’ll find it's been a wise investment when they go on to college. Perhaps math teachers have a difficult time in attempting to teach the skills of mathematics, but for the most part, the students reach the end of the year before the teachers reach the end of their ropes. 27
