1 1 N, my Mr. llall explains the teaching of algebra thus: Algebra is a basic course leading to higher mathematics. Algebra students learn processes and fundamentals of solving advanced problems by several algebraic methods. Picture one shows Glenda Harris, Dalphy Adams, Kenny Harrod W -X asking about an algebra assignment. tiit X .I ' ' A- . I MR. J. A. DRAKE M.S. in Education-East Central State. . Mr. Drake teaches science and general mathematics. A Tiger alumnus, he vias one of 55.IGl ce teachers chosen lest summer io receive a scholarship from the National Science Foundaho un University of Pennsylvania. He tool: courses in atomic nuclear physics and calculation. Scchace Mr. Drake's general science students flower rightl Barbara Chaffin, Larry Rowe, and Glenda Harris, are finding out how fish in the aquarium are kept warm.

Ma, PHILIP BALL M.5d.-Unlxteliiiy of Carolina , Mr. Li'-LL only! 'lectin Algebra l, ll, plan and solid md trigdmnicifry. but also coaches the Tiger 'fool'- ball loam. ll lltm K if l L '7 In trigonometry Csecond picture rightl Phillip Baxter, Don Keesee, Charles Collier, and Roy Adams examine a problem at the board, while Bob Jones and Kenneth Cook work at their desks. This course is for students who plan to major in math- ematics. It deals with relations of right triangles, logarithms and slide rules. Solid Solid geometry, also a math major course, involves relations in three dimensions and aids in understanding spatial quantities. Pictured at lower left are Bob Davis, Mary Epton, and Bob Jones. Phu Sid Anderson flower leftl is explaining a problem in plane geometry to Mary Bezinque, Myrna Gantt, and Vic Keck. Plane geometry teaches methods of developing reasoning and relation- ships involving plane figures.

5, Roy Adams Cfirst picture, leftl explains a problem in chemistry to Thomas Sciance and Barbra Parent. Roy placed second in chem istry at both Ada and Edmond. Chemistry, taught by Mr. Jim Drake, is chiefly a prep course for students who plan to enter some field of scientific interest and research. ln picture two, Mary Epton, Barbara Cunningham, Herbert Haily and Eddie Johnson are performing an experiment which results in the production of nitric acid. Wendyl Kirksey, Charles Collier, and Norman Standerfer f picture three? are examining a chart which classifies the elements. 3436094 Biology classes in action are shown at the bottom of the page. Mr. Drake tries to provide an adequate knowledge of the world around us and particularly of our own bodies. The fourth picture to the left demonstrates this fact since we see Sid Anderson pointing out body structure to Bob Davis, Jim Beavers, and Tish Moore. ln the lower right picture, Barbra Parent, fifth from left, is ex- plaining a dissection to Barbara Cole, Elizabeth Johnson, Tia Juana Wiley, Linda Ray, Bill Roach, and Larry King. Barbra gives a qualified explanation, since she won a second place rating in biology at both Edmond and Ada.
