Modern Mathematics Introduces New Concepts CONCENTRATING on the teacher's explanation ol prob- lems is necessary in learning the new modern mathematics. As mathematics today is an integral part of every profession, it is stressed through- out all high school years at Umatilla High. Baffling trinoials equations, planes, rhom- buses, functions, relations, and sets chal- lenged the minds of the math students. Mr. Tom Barger, Mr.JohnWestervelt, and Mr. Robert Stover composed the U.H.S. math faculty. These teachers taught stu- dents, who will be builders of tomorrow, courses in general math, algebra I and II, geometry, and advanced math. This year, students in advanced math studied a new concept in mathematics. To them, knowing how to plot the graph of an equation with a certain slope and how to intersect sets were important things to learn. JIMMY Skinner realizes that learning how to correctly construct figures is an important part of learning geometry. MR. TOM BAR- GER teaches Jr. High math. MR. JOHN WESTERVELT teaches mathe- matics and is a guidance coun. BOOKKEEPING offers opportunities for students to use general math every day. M fyon 21

Seniors Get First-Hand Talks on Banking and Russia n From prehistoric man to the latest bill proposed by Congress; from the ideology of r; (rom our state government to the complexities of international relationships. This was the gamut run by the social studies department. In the civics classes students learned the working of our state government and kept abreast of current events by reading the EVERY WEEK. World history students became familiar with many famous men and their contribu- tion to the world. To add practical knowledge to the American History class, students learned how to fill out income tax forms. The senior courses Communism and AmerIcanism contrasted the qualities and evils of Communism and Americanism. (Mr. Stevens from the Umatilla State Bank spoke to the P.O.D. class on banking.) DANNY Harrington learns the major differences between the relief, globular, and mercator maps. STUDYING pictures of the revolting Russian peasants in 1905 help Bobby Bryan learn more about Communism’s background. yyZ bcc V , f(pj a I IV 'rn Jfea SJiictc-o C n bver STUDENTS can keep abreast of daily news events by reading newspaper articles that are put on the bulletin board each day.

Spanish Builds Well-Rounded Students At U.H.S. OPENDOOR XCLSPAMSH, the title of the first year Spanish conversation book, is indicative of the approach to the language of our Latin-American neighbors. Beginning with words similar to English, the students soon gain confidence in using foreign ex- pressions. Seis, ocho, doce can be heard on the volley ball court; dispenseme in the corridor; and hola , even by students who don't take Spanish, on the campus. The favorite exp re s s i on of many is Eso es ridiculo! In the partial laboratory, tapes of native Spanish speaking people serve as models of the proper intonation, stress, and pronun- ciation. JANE Money, advanced Spanish student, helps Danny Green with his translating. STUDENTS study the new Spanish book for their 6 weeks test. 22 MRS. KATHLEEN TRAYWICK teaches Spanish and English.
