MATHEMATICS Countdown Figures Marked by modern teaching methods and a variety of courses, South's math department extended its curriculum in an attempt to provide a class to fit every student's needs. Under the forward-looking direction of Dr. Oscar Schaaf, two new semester classes, probability and statistics and modern alge- bra, were added to the roster. Collaboration with the business and science departments was established for the first year. Under this plan probability and statistics students took a two- week course on correct operation of calculator machines, while Math S classes were instructed in measurement, ratio and pro- portion, trigonometry and other topics related to science. The team-teaching program was continued in an effort to Hnd which courses lent themselves best to large group instruction. Organized in 1961, the program allows a teacher to lecture to large groups while his associate assists with individual difficul- ties. Last year it was found necessary to teach a Math 4 class of 100 students in the cafeteria. This year this type of instruc- tion was tried with Math 5, helping the staff gain a better understanding as to when large, or small group teaching can be used to best advantage.

HOME ECONOMICS Pots and Pins Tantalizing aromas and the busy hum of sewing machines filled the hall near the home economics rooms. As the girls tried their hand at new recipes, they also learned the values of nutrition and attractive meal preparation. Students in sewing classes were able to design and make their own clothing. In a class in home furnishings, directed by Mrs. Betty Wormington, girls rejuvenated and recovered old furniture with fabrics of their own choosing. In December and May the girls held teas for their mothers at which they modeled their various creations from school clothes to formal evening wear. Mothers were treated to fancy French pastries provided by the cooking department under Mrs. Anne Morris. gui Belly Worminglon Deparlmenl Head Anne Morris Junior Vicki Wyall sands pain! off old armchair in home furnishings class 51
