Impressive scores at GHS by Cozetta F-Jassi Increasing its size and adding elite names to the Math Exam marked a solid year for the Math Department. Two new staff members and a new class were added to the department. Mrs. Rebecca Swihart, Geometry I, and Mr. Brad Park, Algebra I, and Ap- plied Math were new. Applied Math is offered to students in order for them to obtain the needed math cred- its required for graduation. This course is especially helpful to the class of 1989 which now needs four math credits in or- der to graduate. Previously, only two math credits were re- quired. In the Annual High School Math Exam, GHS again ranked very high out of 100 Indiana schools. Contributing to this success was Mike Hildebrand and Jeff Wertz, seniors, who had the two highest scores, respective- ly, in the school, while Mike Wittrig, also a senior, had the third highest score. I think that our success is just a reflection of the accom- plishments of many of the fine math students at Goshen High School. Much of the credit for our work must be passed on to our fine Math Department here at the high school, said Wit- trig. Hilde brand commends the Math Department as well. I appreciate the advantage we ' ve experienced in having strong math classes made available to us. I believe that a strong math background opens possibilities in many fields of work and builds a strong foun- dation for the future, said Hil- debrand. Finding new books is always a chore for the department. This year a committee of stu- dents, parents and teachers proofread new textbooks to de- termine the best one for next year. One reached goal for the de- partment was to incorporate a year-end math test. This test evaluated each student ' s pro- gress and exposed aspects of math that needed improve- ment for the next year.
