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! Amy Coggins This is too much for me. John Durfee goes over a very confusing worksheet in algebra with his teacher, Miss Linda Burden. iPhoto by Robert Freemanl O.K., but what does all this mean? 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

S-Q.. ,... N New Horizons Ml-IS Kept Up With A Changing World In Science hanges took the world by storm. The world was changing! Just think 20 years ago the United States was different. Nuclear energy was still experimental. It was totally different. Almost everybody used nuclear energy for electricity. New information was discovered and science was a part of it all. The basics were taught in biology, chemistry, and physical science. Biol- ogy I changed in that there was an hon- ors class and new information was taught. Physical science was introduc- tion to chemistry and physics. One stu- dent said, I don't think I would have made it through chemistry if hadn't been for my physical science class. I 66 Science appreciated it this year. More in depth studies were available also. After the basics, students discov- ered more time and thought was re- quired. Chemistry II Honors, a new class, and Biology II Honors allowed students to discover for themselves. Suneer Patell said, The depth of study in Biology II honors offered more en- lightment than biology I did. Moreover, we have more of an option concerning our experience in the lab. No matter how much changed, some- things probably never will. However, for all the things that do, MHS kept up with the changing times. Shannon Rice
