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.

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
