I Q se' was Math for the Future ome people regard math as a boring subject that is useless for the future, while others enjoyed math because it was challenging. Freshman Ricci DiLeo stated, Algebra isn't that hard, and I think it's challenging. He hoped to use Algebra, Geometry, and other math basics to make computer programming a career. Freshman Mike Seal felt that math could be very helpful in his future. He said, You need math to get into most jobs, especially in the Army where quirements, but I do like the science requirements, because science is in- teresting. Classes like biology and astronomy will aid me in the Army, because I will need to know about atmospheres, elevation, ahd other forms of meteorology in order to fly a plane. Ricci concluded, I don't mind the requirements, I can learn more. Mall! General Math Consumer Math A Computer lgebraafif lgebra A Geometry teacher Ruth Ponchetti explains a problem tojunior Dan Haag.

History Comes to Life t Santa Rita, Social Studies was offered in many different forms. American History, American Government, and Free Enterprise were required courses for juniors and seniors. Teacher-lim Ganas felt that free enterprise was a very important part of high school education. It studies consumer spending and how to best use the resources available to you. By comparing the economics of other nations we can better unders- tand ours. junior Doreen Roberts enjoyed free enterprise, because she felt it was in- history, and Arizona history. He found that the most challenging part of teaching these subjects was motivating the students and selling them on the subjects. Mr. Bubany's goals for the year were to try to make history rele- vent to everyday life. ff, , sy- ,,, ,W , Vi W, ,,,. ,S HZ, ,vs 1 W X f' X ' as 3 wa , wwe 'L f - f, nr ' .., J , JK- 4 p Hem. - . 4fa,,.f 77' M , ,a :if fr Y f 1 . .
