Second Row: Kathy Crane, Robin Cruise, Chris Offering a wide range of choice courses, the Math Department worked hard at getting its charges ready to cope with the big, cold, numerical world. The usual list of classes, included Algebra, Geome- try, and Trigonometry, was augmented with Probability and Statistics, a fun-filled course involving the study of such unre- lated events as our football and basketball teams ' performance, and the Presidential election in November. Functions, and A. P. Calculus, were available to the figuratively minded. Under the iron grip of Coach With- ers the Math Team matched wits against the mathematical wizards from Fairfax County. It was certainly an uphill fight and as the season went on Math Team found themselves answering more questions . . . correctly. The long bus trips provided good warm-up time and the team put up commendable fights against their tremen- dous 1-A rivals. 24
