Ravette Ashby seems very engrossed in advanced algebra as con- trasted to John Williams, w ho cocks a wary eye towards the pho- tographer. From elementary arithmetic to high school ad- vanced algebra problems, students have always tried to improve and enrich their mathematical vocabulary and experiences. With a wide variety of math classes at Calu- met, ranging from general math to trigonometry, the student is always able to find the math class that is best suited to his particular needs and re- quirements. - 9 - Visual aids are very useful in the high school curriculum. Cathy Johnston, algebra student, shows us just one of the many used by the math department.
