Math Develops Calculating Abilities Above: Helpful in solving big math problems, the giant slide rule is worked by senior Math IV students Tom Wagner. Mr. Meade. Jim Parrot and Bill Phillips. Right: Plotting graph prob- lems in algebra. Mr. Thompson oversees a diligent freshman. Sr. M. Maris Mr. Patrick Meade Dr. Gladis Ruiz Mr. Michael Thompson Where ha ve all the number: gone? to x(89) - 64, everyone If you ' re like us you ' ll shake youi fist in the air and yell @3? ! Geometry, algebra I and II, anc senior math are especially de signed for future college prepara tion and computer programming. A busy math department is headed by Sr. Maris who teaches math III. Under her jurisdictior one learns all about trigonome- try, algebra and other assorted goodies ! Geometry and algebra come alive under the direction of Mr. Thompson who displays great enthusiasm toward anything concerning numbers. Sr. Maurice brings her cubes and rectangles to her classes, while Mr. Meade stresses the abstract, and incul- cates into the minds of his stu- dents the many and varied as well as intricate aspects of mathe- matics.

The student was en- couraged to develop a scientific attitude towards his environment. Tapes, demonstrations, speeches, lectures, labs, class discussions, films, field trips, texts and tests were used to achieve this end. The experiences were intended to im- part a useful knowledge as well as an understanding of its place in modern life. Mr. Tom Waning and Mrs. Joyce Gloman guided biology students through a squeamish, but inter- esting year. Chemistry students, under the directives of Mr. John Longenecker, found that solving chemical equations is like solving word puzzles. Earth science stu- dents discovered that our earth is made up of more than just dirt! Science had, for students, become a part of LIFE.
