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.

ENGLISH... insight to communication. So what if I call him Julius Shakespeare? The Sophomores learned that there is a difference be- tween Julius Caesar and William Shakespeare. They were so caught up in the story, they didn't even realize how much they were learning. They also enjoyed reading To Kill a Mockingbird. The Juniors, besides the regular theme-writing and grammar, read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. They discovered that people weren’t so different back in Huck's time after all. Realizing that this was their last year in high school, the Seniors settled down and studied to prepare them- selves for the years after their graduation. Mrs. Gedge, Mrs. Kauffman. Mrs. McConkie, Miss McPolin, Mrs. Schwartz. Mr. Tippetts and Mr. Wilcox show- ed the students that English is important for everyone. This is a fact. The English Department at Springville High has not only stressed the importance of it, but also made it interesting and enjoyable for the students. Shakespearean Theater Eli Tippetts Communications.
