The eighth grade stu- dents taking the Algebra I class are: Angie Mohler, Matt Pettit, Alan Thomas, Cori Smith, Graham Wiley, Jason McClure, Doug Barnes, and Brad Dekat. Lindstrom is unsure about the number of stu- dents he'll have next year. Mr. Alan Cunningham, from Clifton Clyde High School, has been hired to teach Algebra ll, advanced math, and calculus. N- .
