Beating The System Students Gained A Better Understanding hen students entered high school it was natural for them to be a little confused about the adult world. To help students, certain courses were opened to clear up any confusion they might have had. For this reason classes such as Government, Econom- ics, Civics, and Legal Awareness were offered. These courses helped many young people prepare for their lives after high school. They taught the rights and re- sponsibilities of a United States citizen. They also explained anything from un- derstanding the nation's economic sys- tem to planning an individual budget. Another very important aspect stu- Q...-A 'ltr Spit it out!

Through this document, stu- dents learned how laws are made, how they go into effect, and how they affect things around them. For example, just last year the entire school was affected by the Education Improvement Act. Kelly Moore said she was very sur- prised how the act affected the entire school including staff and students. When students were asked how they thought these courses affected them personally they replied that it made them more aware of world and national affairs. The classes also familiarized them with many laws and rights they weren't aware of. Amy Coggins if A Pay attention class!

ave Cf Future Computers Take Control athematics was everywhere. Anywhere from counting M Sz M money to giving out change at lunch, students used a little bit of math somehow this past year. Not only was math widely used in school, but its importance grew just as everything else. That's why it was beneficial for a stu- dent to take as many math courses as possible in high school. Mrs. Kaye Au- trey, a math teacher at Mauldin, felt that the most important courses taken involved algebra and beyond. She also said computers was an excellent course to take considering the electronic ad- vancement in recent years. It was evident that students had to take math seriously to keep up in to- day's world. Even though computers became more compact and easier to use, there were still many that required a well-trained mind. In the words of Steve Cottingim, Computers are awe- some!

John Trimble always seems to find logic somewhere even in Algebra III. It is well known that Trimble never gives up on anything. iPhoto by Scott Kingj Mathematics 65
