MATHEMATICS 1 + 1=2 1+2 = 3 2 + 2 = 5 Now, wait just a minute! That isn ' t right, is it? Many of the students are faced with trials and tribu- lations concerning the mathematical world. Mr. Ches- ter Metcalf, Mr. Robert Short, Mr. Harry Lacy, and a newcomer, Mrs. Kempshall have done their best to uphold the reputation of mathematics. Now Freshman Algebra and General Math, aren ' t as bad as you think they are. Sure, it may seem rough now, but you can always look ahead. Sophomores have passed the basic elements of Al- gebra and are faced with new figures - geometric figures, not the others. The Juniors and Seniors have reached the stage where they take everything easy but, facing Advanced Algebra, Solid, and Trig., they seem to realize that it isn ' t so easy at all. Mr. Robert Short ably assists the seniors in making themselves ready fop college alge- bra and calculus. Mr. Lacy guides his students through the equations of freshman Algebra and the geo- metric shapes of Plane Geometry. During the school year, Mr. Chester Metcalf diverts his attention from swimming pools to the maze of numbers of General Math and Algebra I.

BUSINESS A prime example of the expanding curriculum at W.H.S. is the Commercial Arts Department. This year Office Practice, General Business, Business Law, and Business English were added to the curriculum. The typing students punch away at the keys, and the shorthand students attempt to transcribe their mysterious scribblings. The business teachers are kept busy directing this flow of en- ergy as their contribution to the effici- ency of the secretaries of tomorrow. In addition to helping her students shorten their hands and keep their books, Mrs. Bunce must cope with the annual staff as faculty yearbook advisor. LIBRARY Miss Pesta ' s efforts in typing class result in more efficient typing and calloused finger- tips. The comparatively new Westerville High School library is thriving and growing. The stock of books and periodicals is constantly enlarged. The focal points of each year are the paper-backed book fairs which make available a wealth of books in inexpensive editions. Presiding over the library is head librarian, Miss Elizabeth Passmore. Miss Passmore has her own incomparable style of maintaining silence in the library: Lover-boy, are you in here to study or talk? or, more bluntly, Sweetie, shut up!
