MATHEMATICS... ability to reason in abstract ideas. This year our mathematics program finally arrived at the point of proving; it has been three years since the new flexible courses were instituted. The Seniors, who were Sophomores when flexible classes were first introduced, have shown this year that there are many ad- vantages to this new teaching method. For one. it gave each student an opportunity to learn for himself at which level he would be chal- lenged. but still be able to achieve. This resulted in less frustration and more individual success. There was also more of a chance for the teachers to help each student progress and really understand each new concept and how to apply it. The staff of the mathematics department included Mr. Wilson. Mr. Garrett. Mr. Evans, Mr Boyer, and Mr Bender. They instructed classes such as Consumer's Math. Pre-Algebra. Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry and Functions. Math Analysis, and also Computer Science. There were two new courses offered this year in the mathematics department. One of these was Trigonometry and Functions, a branch from Math Analysis which was a little less difficult. It provided an op- portunity for students to learn higher mathematics at an easier pace. A second course which was instituted just this year was the Computer Science class. In our modern age there is a great demand for person- nel trained to program computers. The training of these people in- volved new angles of mathematics. The students involved in this course spent the first half of the year learning to talk” to the computer. Then they learned the math techniques needed for operating a com- puter. This year our Mathematics Department expanded to meet the needs of a growing society.

Jean Fox Gerry Duncan Attendance Office Behind every successful person is someone who helps them along the road of fame and glory. Behind each student at SHS was someone gently prodding them toward a successful future. These prodders were our counselors, Mr. Stewart and Miss Amott. Our counselors helped prepare the graduating class for the new world they were about to enter into. Much time and effort was given to each student in helping them choose their vocation. They helped many students acquire valuable scholarships. Mrs. Fox kept track of each student this year; which wasn't an easy job. She was a great help in the instigating of our new honor attendance program. She was a real asset to the administration and studentbody. Mrs. Duncan gave her special attention to each student when they needed her help. She was always there with a cheerful word and helping hand when anything was to be done. Her efficiency proved in- valuable when it came to running our office. The teachers worked closely with the attendance secretary The woman who kept the office running smoothly 19
