Individual help is necessary as Mr. Treat helps Patty Richard MATH DUMAI HITS Captivation grasps students in the classroom When America became advanced in technology, the job market had a totally different demand and that was a need for people who had a good background in the mathematical field. Sahuaro felt the training for those jobs should begin in the high school, and such courses of higher caliber 152 FACULTY included college algebra, trigonometry, analytical geometry, Calculus and computer programming. Algebra I and II along with early fundamentals of geometry were often pre-requisites for the more difficult courses, and with reason, since most of the math classes often went back to the basic fundamentals for review before learning something new. Only two years were required to graduate, but many students took more math classes in order to help them in college and their future careers. Math was much more than secants, angles, and sets as the teachers proved to the students.

Mrs. Frinfrock explains the necessity of class experimen STAR Science is soaring high into the future If one had happened to look into room 100 this past year and noticed the class looking out the window, one probably thought the class was boring. Those students were not bored for it was Mr. Lockwood's astronomy class. Astronomy was not the only science class offered at Sahuaro. There also was biology, physics, earth science, physical science, and chemistry. Each of which 154 FACULTY had their own course of study. In biology, cells and genetics were part of the course of study, while in chemistry you studied gases and solution along with many other things. If you happened to be more interested in things to do with the earth and the solar system, one might have taken earth science, but if you preferred to study heat energy and electron movement you could have taken physical science. Many of the courses offered by the science department made good background for the student who planned to attend college. Chemistry and biology were two such courses which made for good background for these courses are also offered andfor required in most colleges, but in more depth.
