THIS YEAR, Mr. David Johnson was head of ihc Math department and taught algebra. JUDY BROWN, a graduate of U High, experienced a very important part of our school: student teaching. Precision and Logic Characterize DR WILLIAM STOCHL taught one section of seventh grade mathematics. Pure mathematics do remedy and cure many defects in the wit and faculties of the individuals; for if the wit be dull, they sharpen it; if too wandering they fix it; if too inherent in the sense, they abstract it. Bacon U High's program in mathematics was both informative and interesting this past year. It included new classes on both the junior and senior high level. The newest program was begun with the seventh grade curriculum. It was designed to compile two years of junior high math and one year of algebra into a two-year study. This program was offered to only one of the seventh grade sections. In the senior high mathematics curriculum, a revision was also made. As well as Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and Senior Math, a fourth subject was added, that of Elementary Analysis. This course was taught to seniors, who had shown a special interest or had met the specific requirements in the study of math. Among the math department's other major duties was the sponsorship of activities including Math club, and the National Math contest. 14
