If.: MRS. LENORE WILSON explains to Gary Bonnette some of the fundamentals of basic geometry using a mathematical graph. Ge- ometry 31-32 is required before a student may take trigonometry or advanced math courses. Pupils display talent by using math skills Over 1,500 Tascosa students develop their mathe- matics skills daily in 54 classes. Thirteen instructors under the new department head Mrs. Lois Taylor teach a curriculum of eleven dif- ferent courses. The two related math courses pertain to the basic principles of algebra. Fundamentals of arith- metic are stressed in consumer math and Math 40R. Algebraic functions and the applications of factoring, graphing, sets, radicals and progressions are covered in the algebra courses. Geometry developes skills in proportions and constructions. The trigonometric func- tions are used in the solving of triangles. Advanced students study matrices, determinates, induction, an- alytical geometry, calculus and limits the three math analysis courses offered. CRUMPLED WADS OF notebook paper lie on senior Johnnie Cos- mic's desk as he tries to work out his math problems with the aid ofa slide rule. FACULTY 141

Biology lab students cut ham into pieces Tascosa science students this year ventured into fantastic and often frustrating flights into the phenom- ena of amoebae, parameciae and formulae. Such creatures as worms, birds and snakes faced the scalpels brandished by dissecting Ftebs in the bi- ology labs. Assorted vapors and fumes made an ap- pearance in the science wing as chemistry students experimented with various chemicals. In room 104, students were found being tackled by physics prob- lems. President Roger Herring headed the Science Club assisted by officers Jane Burruss, vice presidentg Kim Black, secretary. Other officers were Melissa lVlok, treasurerg Stewart Urback, publicity chairman and Ricky Spencer, program chairman. CHEMISTRY LAB STUDENTS Sharla Grundy and Clydene Gressett prepare for their experiment by connecting the pneumatic trough to the water. Chemistry students do many lab experimenting with acids and salts and metals and non-metals. DAVID DUNHAM AND Tom Baker do a mechanical physics lab experiment with different weights and different radii to prove that force X equals force X. FACULTY 143
