MATHEMATICS Doug Sergeant flnstructorj Life is not a 'static process', why should education be so? To understand my philosophy of education, one must first be aware of my twofold definition of the term. First, I feel that education should help you become a more responsible person, a person who is able to recognize his responsibilities to propagate our society. In my teaching field, Mathematics, I am constantly seeking answers to various problem-situations whose solutions are arrived at by a sequential process. I feel mathematics should be taught for various sequences or patterns, which should be studied, in the hope, that the student will discover a process that will work for him when dealing with problem-situations in life. Once the onosphere fmindl has been trained to analytically solve problems, it will go through these processes automatically if allowed to do so. 20 John E. Bonebrake fAssistant Professor!

Mrs. Dorothy Smith flnstructorj I have taught all the art courses that have been offered at Black Hawk East since its beginning, until this year. Now I only wish to teach part-time, so I have two classes a week: Art Appreciation and Two Dimens- ional Design first semester, and Craft Workshop and Two Dimensional Design second semester. I love teaching and am happiest when teaching. Other interests are collecting and reading art books.
