Sue Ellen Stanley goes over a test of the previous day for the benefit of her Algebra II class. Algebra II is an elective subject. It furnishes the languages and principal tools of mathematics. Solid geometry involves problems in areas and volumes of pyramids, prisms, cubes, and spheres. Mr. Gru- ver explains a solid theorem to his class as Leroy Kniskern performs the computation involved. Gary Givens, Gail Kirby, and Ann Leitch use the re¬ cording and listening facilities to aid them in their mastery of the French language. This course is con¬ cerned with pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. The basic fundamentals of Latin as well as the background of the Roman civilization are studied in the Latin I and II courses. Jerry Rhodes and Kathi Gelsleichter write class work exercises on the board. Such practice is invaluable in the study of a language. 14
