Math Courses Computer Math, dealing with the process of programming computers, is a new course added to Warren ' s growing curriculum. . . . Mad dashing throughout a class . . . Kim forgot his proof . . . finger bit- ing and pencil chewing; life seems curs- ed to some math students. x2.9=(x+3) (x-3). What is x? Would you believe 5? That ' s the answer. Mathematics students answer this and many other problems throughout the day. Not only do these classes teach math, they teach discipline of the mind. The Mathematics Department bene- fited from the construction of last year when granted an entire corridor. Open- ing off this corridor is the large lecture room. This is used for a number of classes joining for one class and for the Computer Math courses. Warren ' s math courses are quite va- ried; they include Algebra I-IV, Geome- try I-II, Analytical Geometry, Trigonom- etry, and Calculus. A new course has been added this year. As the world becomes more tech- nological so must the schools; to comply with these needs, Warren has added Computer Math. This involves working with the Fortran IV, a complex com- puter. All in all, the benefits received by math students more than qualifies them for their new phase of life. Mr. Ledger, Mathematics Department Chair- man, teaches a class in the new lecture cen- ter. This room is one of two new rooms seat- ing more than one hundred students.

Assist Student The Foreign Language Department strives toward two goals, comprehension and participation in a given language. Communication is the life line of man- kind, and only with the aid of these lan- guages can people gain knowledge of one another. Through the aid of new equipment such as the labs, and the films and record, students find that learning is not only profitable, but enjoyable. Below is this paragraph in three languages. Le Departement des Langues Etran- gere a duex huts . . . Comprendre, lire et ecrire une langue. Mais unir les gens du monde c ' est le vrai but de ce Departe- ment, car nous tanon a la proposition que c ' est seulment en sachant des lan- gues estrangeres que Ton se comprenne a fond et que Ton s ' entende bien avec les austres gens du monde. Mitdem Gebrauch von neuen Hilfsmit teln wie Fremsprachlaboratorium, Filme, Filmstreifen, und Schallplatten finden die Schuller, dass das Lernan ein er Fremsprache nicht nur nutzlich, sondern auch erfreulich ist. Sin embargo, una persona conoce como poner educacion del para todos los dias recitacion ; por ejemplo : iii HE AUMENTADO DE PASO!!! I ' VE GAINED WEIGHT!!! Mr. Foerderer, who teaches French and is Foreign Language Department chairman, is shown here helping his Third Year French class in pronunciation. Steve Inboden and Rob Lyons are examining equipment used in Foreign Language classes to help the students understand and to better grasp the language.
