Seek and ye shall find! Such was the case in the Math Department this year. Teachers tried to encourage students to strive in- dependently to find solutions to difficult math problems. Students spent long hours this year working on problem soiv- ing. The challenge came from such courses as Algebra, which kept students busy solv- ing and graphing formulas. An all-time favorite class was geometry where students learned to prove theorems and postulates. Other classes in- cluded calculus and analysis, both of which were designed for college preparation. Students also enjoyed com- puter programming where they ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE utilize the computer correctly. Ly ) Sy Confused?

May | borrow your gym suit? Besides being prepared for gym class there were other obstacles which’ students faced: making the four minute dash to their next class, having wet hair after swimming class, and dressing in crowded locker rooms. Despite the drawbacks, students enjoyed the wide range of activities of- fered by the P.E. department. The department strengthened the mind as well as the body. While such sports as ping pong, bowling, soccer, basket- ball, and team handball were played, mental health and First Aid were discussed in health. To test a student’s athletic ability, teachers administered physical fitness tests. These tests included such things as the standing broad jump, the 600 yard dash, flexed arm hang, pull ups, and the shuttle run. Physical education not on- ly taught students the impor- tance of staying fit, but it also provided a break in the day.
