Algebra I students working hard on their assignment. MATH TEACHES DEDUCTIVE REASONING- Without mathematics, our modern highways, automobiles, machines, and buildings would not be possible. High school mathematics is much more than addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; it opens the door to deduc- tive reasoning. Mr. O'Brien taught all classes of Algebra I and II. Algebra is the principal tool of all mathematics above the level of arithmetic. Geometry provides a study of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. The two classes of geometry were instructed by Mr. Hensley. Mr. Hensley also taught one class of basic math. Senior math introduced students to a more advanced study of mathematics. Taught by Mr. Leiker, the students re- ceived an introduction to trigonometry, differentiation, the theory of equations, etc. STEPHEN HENSLEY Kansas State University B.S., 1964 JOHN O'BRIEN Fort Hays State College B.S., 1959 15
