lUaiL Before school the room is crowded and humming, but the math books are open and the students are studying furiously. This is a common scene at W.H.H.S. Our math department offers such courses as algebra I, II, geometry, trigonometry, advanced math, functional math, senior math, and business math. Topics from modern math have been taught in the algebra II and S.M.S.G. geometry classes. The advanced math taught to seniors the second semester is a composite study of elementary functions, geometry, and an introduction to probability and statistics. The students find the modern approach to mathematics intriguing and no longer believe that these courses died with Newton. To Eddie and Dean tackling Trig seems to be more diffi-than tackling in football. 7b' Lqomv the Using their slide rules and brains, these math students produce the right answers. When Linda Colbert makes her million, knowing how to figure interest will come in handy. 'Geometry can be fun »ay» Linda Merely

No, it is part of an experiment in the new P.S.S.C. Physics course that was introduced into the science department this year. Many phases of science are explored annually 3t W.H.H.S. Every Sophomore participates in a biology course, and for those who wish to pursue this field an advanced course is offered. Other studies in the realm of science are chemistry, physical science, and classical physics. W.H.H.S. has a highly acclaimed science department in the state of Florida. This is due to the efforts of the teaching staff. Presently all five teachers have gone beyond their Bachelor of Science degrees, and the excellent projects of the students reflect the hard work of these teachers. What goes where? The biology students learn to pinpoint each vital through use of the plastic torso. Could all the smiles indicate technical complication. It is doubtful because the P.S.S.C. Physics students derive much knowledge and information from films that were produced for the purpose of supplementing the course. Pane 29
