If.: MRS. LENORE WILSON explains to Gary Bonnette some of the fundamentals of basic geometry using a mathematical graph. Ge- ometry 31-32 is required before a student may take trigonometry or advanced math courses. Pupils display talent by using math skills Over 1,500 Tascosa students develop their mathe- matics skills daily in 54 classes. Thirteen instructors under the new department head Mrs. Lois Taylor teach a curriculum of eleven dif- ferent courses. The two related math courses pertain to the basic principles of algebra. Fundamentals of arith- metic are stressed in consumer math and Math 40R. Algebraic functions and the applications of factoring, graphing, sets, radicals and progressions are covered in the algebra courses. Geometry developes skills in proportions and constructions. The trigonometric func- tions are used in the solving of triangles. Advanced students study matrices, determinates, induction, an- alytical geometry, calculus and limits the three math analysis courses offered. CRUMPLED WADS OF notebook paper lie on senior Johnnie Cos- mic's desk as he tries to work out his math problems with the aid ofa slide rule. FACULTY 141
