Leroy Wilson, Louise, Lightsey, and Harriet Amchan examine geometric constructions made by students in Solid Geometry. Mathematics Mr. Gilmer Weatherly heads the fourteen teachers in the Math Department, which underwent extensive cur- riculum changes this year. The department now fea- tures, in addition to the regular courses offered, three types of programs for students with special aptitude in math: Advanced Placement, Accelerated, and Enriched. The Advanced Placement program features Algebra II with Solid Geometry in the tenth grade and Trigo- nometry and Analytic Geometry in the eleventh. The Accelerated program gives juniors Algebra II with Solid Geometry and seniors, Trigonometry and College Algebra. The Accelerated Geometry program offers MR. WILLIAM BENSON Trigonometry Solid Geometry Algebra II MR GORDON BOURNE Plane Geometry Algebra I MRS. VIRGINIA BRASFIELD Algebra I Plane Geometry MR. THOMAS CHRISTENSEN Accelerated Geometry Algebra I Plane Geometry MRS. MABLE COAKLEY Algebra n Trigonometry Solid Geometry College Algebra Mu Alpha Theta MRS.

Norman Youngblood uses a transit in Mrs. Hoy’s trig class. Plane, Solid, and Analytic Geometry. Students may also take enriched courses which cover the regular subjects more extensively. The Math Department sponsors the math research laboratory which is manned by student volunteers dur- ing school and is open to students who seriously desire to increase their knowledge of mathematics through reading and problem solving. In addition the depart- ment administers special mathematic achievement and aptitude tests throughout the year to interested stu- dents and conducts review courses to prepare students for College Boards.
