It was the goal of this year ' s math teachers to open the door to this wide world of math. This department provided courses that unlocked this door. These different keys ranged from related math to elementary ana- lysis. Students were prepared for college through learning the way to determine a problem, how to solve it, and the ' laws which make the solution legal. Advanced courses served to aid the student in the advanced work faced in colleges. This knowledge of math is helpful in the daily life of each individ- ual. Mr. Maxwell explains the demonbtration of the geometric proof of the congruency of two triangles to students Mike Baker and Pam Eberhart. 26
