Math takes students from nuttin' to sum-tin' Adding machines in math? Yes, its definitely true, says Mr. Stoeckinger, head of the Mathe- matics Department. This conver- sation refers to the Practical Arith- metic class. Using a teacher, an aide, and the machines is an entirely new concept aimed toward students with acute problems in math. Another class that starts many a befuddled student on the highway of successful thinking is the two- 23. period algebra class, designed to . 'K ' start wheels turning.

Tech artists cultivate variety of media Mary LaFara grins happily as she works on her clay project in an Art III class. Later she will fire the figurine. Mr. Locker's sign-painting class prepares posters for various campus organizations. w 3' -4 Q 1 '1 Without silica there would be no glass, no bricks, no electrical appli- ances, no cars. Silica is a substance of clay, which, when treated with high heat, becomes the chief com- ponent of ceramics. Without it the Art Department could not under- take projects such as modeling stat- ues, ashtrays, figurines, pitchers, and pots. Art students would be handicapped in their training with- out ceramics. Now with the knowl- edge of this compound, we appre- ciate more the ceramics produced in art classes. 5 iff' x? !l5J Using water colors and brush, lackie Fagan paints a copy ofa pencil-drawn sketch.

The geometry class finds their teacher, Mr. Kriese, amusing yet de- was left from a previous class, and judging from appearances, it's manding as they try to solve a proposition. The work on the board certainly not trig. Math isn't always plugging numbers into equations. it's interesting and fun. Here, Nikki Hamilton learns how to use a slide rule. Math student, Tim Wand, explains that two twelve-inch rulers say 2 plus 7 equals 9, but a slide rule, matching figures in the same way, says 2 times 7equals 74. Practice makes perfect, Nikki takes the helm. 27
