Mathematics Pep Club Using a wooden model of a geometric ligure to demonstrate a point n Analytical Geometry class is Mr Noland Wallace Turning more and more to the trend of modern math, the mathematics department has continually renewed and re- vised its text books and method of teaching. Since the depart- ment first began teaching the modern math in 1958. algebra and geometry text books have been revised two and three times respectively. The ever changing teaching methods that accompany the modern math have sent teachers back to school. They keep up with the latest teaching techniques both by extra training and by picking it up' as they teach. Not only text books, but various geometric visual aids, overhead projectors, charts, model slide rulers, and of course, the blackboard aided in teaching and stimulating interest in all math courses. At one time or another through their high school years, students found themselves in a math class. Aimed at all high school age students of different intellectual levels, the math- ematics department includes such courses as Algebra I and II. analytic geometry, basic mathematics, business arithmetic, geometry, principals of mathematics, and trigonometry. The only course added to the department since the school's begin- ning is prineipels of mathematics. Mr. Edgar Schrocdor. B.S..M.S. Mathematics Eligibility Certification Mr. Noland A. Wallaco.

Science Classes Use Modern Laboratory Equipment Science department offers students a wide variety of courses to challenge his skills and scientific curiosity. These courses are astronomy, biology, botany, chemistry, geology, physics, and physiology. Next year a semester course of acronatuics will be added. The main change that has taken place in the science de- partment through the years has been the increasing up- to-date equipment installed. New equipment added to specific courses includes more powerful microscopes for biology class- es. mercury vapor vacuum pumps in chemistry rooms, addi- tional impscopes for physiology classes, and overhead projec- tors with visual teaching aids used by the entire department. In 1960 a greenhouse was built onto the botany room for the growth and study of plants. E-1 and E-5 were converted from regular classrooms into science rooms, one equipped with laboratory equipment and the other used as a lecture hall. Two new teachers have been added to the department to make a total of seven this year. Th esc and other facilities have kept science laboratories and courses up-to-date and interesting to students. As a re- sult. K-hall has continued to eject the ever familiar aroma of chemicals and discclions. and the sighs that express the suc- cessor failure of an experiment. Mr. Frod Amen. 8.S.. B.S.. M.S.

ss Students Acquire Fundamentals For Jobs In Business Teaching business skills for a vocational education is the main objective of the business department. Typewriters and adding machines, shorthand dictations, stock market quotations, and sales pitches all help to produce the business-like atmosphere of B-hall. Besides the bookstore, classes such as typing, shorthand, business law. clerical procedures, notchand, salesmanship, secretarial training, business arithmetic, accounting, basic business, bookkeeping, and business communications are found in the business department. The only changes in the department class wise were the dropping of penmanship last year and the addition of notc- hand two years ago. Business communications will be extend- ed from a semester course to a yearly course next year. The department received a new electric ditto machine this year and an overhead projector last year. rs.
