Through their discovery of the arts, the students of St. Joseph made their year live, and continued to grow in their appreciation of the talents of fellow students and the masters of the fine KW HITS.

What was the sum of 2a+6b? Were base angles of an isosceles triangle congruent? How was the cosine of an angle found? How were foci of an ellipse graphed? Students deter- mined the answers to these questions with the aid of the math department teachers. Through daily homework assignments and class lectures they re- inforced analytical and logical concepts. In addi- tion, other techniques were also used in teaching. Mrs. Maguire's kite project was designed to allow students to demonstrate their cre- ativity and geometric knowledge while at the same time having fun. Another division of the math department was that of computers. When corn- puters became a required course more and more stu- dents used the new com- puter lab and new software tutorials. A larger portable computer allowed teachers to bring and use the com- puter in their classrooms as a supplement to their lectures. As a result stu- dent knowledge of com- puter application in- creased. Lastly the year was made alive for both students and teachers as difficult concepts became c ear.
