Advanced Concepts Expands, dds MHS HAS PRIDED herself in offering many different levels of math to suit the demands of the individual students. Chairman Dean Todd and his seven co- horts welcomed Jack Cochran to the Mathematics Department. s 4 An extensive use of both slides and the overhead proiector motivated Chargers to seek a more thorough under- its standing of the subject. Although only one year of math is required for gradua- tion, many students go on to explore al- gebra, geometry and advanced concepts, a course which requires extra work and contains an introduction to trigonometry, calculus and solid geometry. Scholars participated in the state and national math tests in the spring. Mc- Clintock students with the highest rank- ing in these tests were recognized at the school Honors Assembly. CONCENTRATING on trigonometry, Ernest Popple emphasizes the derivation of formulas. About forty Junior and Senior students enrolled in Advanced Concepts.

Velasco lnitiates Advanced C ss, FALLING IN CANALS while pursuing rare specimens of lepidoptera provided an exciting pastime for biology novices. Under the direction of Roger Williams, head of the Science Department, six sea- soned educators covered a curriculum ranging from biology to oceanography. Craig Millbranth, a newcomer from the East, handled three classes of biology and one of life science. Enthralled by the prospect of a new challenge, scientifically-motivated stu- dents eagerly enrolled in advanced bi- ology, a seminar-type course geared to the pursuit of individual-interest proiects. Teaching the class was Janet Velasco.
