New Equipment, Cours MR. MIKE ROGERS explains the solution of elementary algebraic equations. Mr. Rogers attended Columbia Junior College but received his B.S. with emphasis in mathematics from VSC. He teaches Algebra I and II. While grading papers, MRS. CHARLES M. WORSTALL pauses a few minutes to rest her eyes. Mrs. Worstall was graduated from the University of Toronto with a B.A. in education and later received her M.A. in art from Columbia. She teaches geometry. Algebra III and trigonometry, and Math V. Julie Groover and Larry Webb watch as David Brandon hangs a colorful geometric Christmas ornament. These sophomores are all members of an accelerated math group taught by Mrs. Charles Worstall. 16

Stimulate Math Curriculum Drab desks . . . same old black- boards . . . same old algebra! Not in Mrs. Marvin Evans' Algebra II classes! Installation of a modern math-o-matic lab last summer transformed this tra- ditional classroom into a modern work- shop for modern math. Students' desks now have built-in graphs, and the teacher's desk is equipped with an opaque projector and graph. With this new equipment, Mrs. Evans can face her class, work at her desk, and have what she is ex- plaining projected onto a screen. Addition of a new course, a com- bination of analytical geometry and cal- culus, has been another innovation in the math department this year. While most students take only Al- gebra II and plane geometry, those in- terested in math and its related fields may elect, in addition. Algebra III, trig- onometry, and the new Math V course. After teaching Latin for several years, MRS. W. R. McCLURE has been re- assigned to th » math department. Mrs. McClure was graduated from Western Kentucky Teachers College with an A.B. in math and Latin. She now teaches geometry. To demonstrate the new mathemat- ics equipment, MRS. MARVIN EV- ANS prepares to plot points on a projected graph. Mrs. Evans, who teaches 5 classes of Algebra II, re- ceived her A.B. from Winthrop Col- lege and her M.A. from Peabody College. She has also attended the University of Virginia and VSC. 17
