'- 'hu This awe inspiring problem from the college algebra course seems to have john Weeks baffled, but Mrs. Tinsley is trying hard to make it clear. Math Program Is Interesting And Varied Did you know that it snows here in central Florida? In response to a trig teacher's promise that in event of snow he would add ten points to each pupil's test grade, eager students sprayed arti- ficial snow on the window and sprin- kled it on his head when he came into class. This class is part of the group, chosen for their ability and initiative, which is taking the Enriched College Prep Math Course-a comprehensive study includ- ing algebra, analytic geometry, solid ge- ometry, trigonometry and calculus. Beg- ular College Prep Math is similar but does not cover so much theory. In Basic Math stress is placed on fun- damentals, while Functional Math ex- plores the practical applications of high- er mathematics. By using what they had learned in class, one functional class was able to measure the height of a telephone pole with a yardstick. Ar KABOVED The-re's no super highway going through. Ray and Bernard are learning survey- ing in Functional Math. KAT LEFTJ Mr. NVilliams explains to Hugh and Tal the effects of tension on airplane wings. This concept is taught in Pro-Flight Aeronautics, where physical stresses in flight are ohst-rvcd and studied inathcniatically.

K. f - ,J A l b l -ft r-F' Page Twenty-Eight . 1' ,f Armfuls of weeds carried to class, a last minute search for specimens, and early hours waiting to be a lab assistant are the memories of Biology I students. Many pupils are drawn to Biology II, where sleepless nights are spent finish- ing semester projects and freezing cold must be endured on the annual field trip to the beach. Radiation Biology, originally an extracurricular activity, was so popular that now it is being offered regularly. All too familiar to chemistry students are atomic theory, acid burns, and naps caught in before-school movies. The Beaker Breakers help with make-up work, check notebooks, and aid those intent on blowing up the lab. Some pupils choose instead to take Practical Chemistry, which concentrates on mod- ern applications of chemistry. For those who do not wish to delve deeply into any particular science, Ad- vanced Science gives an interesting sur- vey of all major branches. Now being taught at Hillsborough is a new physics program prepared by top scientists. Physics classes this year had great fun using the new equipment fur- nished by the government in experi- ments such as stopping motion and esti- mating the length of a molecule.
