As Department Head Mrs. Thiele stated. “Our depart- ment looked forward to helping our students be the best math stu- dents possible.” Counting on extra help, 300 stu- dents willingly signed up for the de- partment’s new course, Math Quad. Math Quad was designed to help students who had passed general math, but did not feel ready to tackle the challenge of Al- gebra I. While in this class, students be- came secure about advancing into more difficult courses. They ac- quired a knowledge of Algebra I concepts which gave them a head start. According to Mrs. Thacker, This exciting new course was un- doubtedly worthwhile.” Although emphasis was placed on Math Quad, the department continued to offer a variety of courses at all levels.

School ... work Business and Home Ec. Get Into Action Looking into the business and home ec. areas, it was obvious students were really learning. Not only were they mastering real world skills, but they were putting them into action. This was evident in the “Cor- ral , the student-run restaurant in home ec. The foods lab was trans- formed using professional touches of candlelight sit down dinners and food made from scratch. Leonard Reid said. “It's not only fun, but I can use this experience in the real world. The real world was also obvious in the business department’s stu- dent store. Employees put all their business law, typing, short- hand and accounting skills into practice while trying to please the customers. Andrea Bachler was glad she was allowed to work in the store because it gave her a chance to use all her marketing skills. Overall, the hands-on exper- iences offered in these two depart- ments was a unique change from the daily routine of classes. Design by Debbie Heim. Photos by Dawn Mohney.
