Getting — To specifics- Because math is a part of everyday life, all sophomores were required to take a math class. Some took math just to graduate, but some took extra classes to be better prepared for jobs or college. Sophomore Cristi Dillahunty said, I took geometry and had Mrs. Finley. She ' s cool and really organized. She ex- plains the work so that I understand. We nave homework everyday, and the next day we go over it in class. Learning how to do computer readouts and input statements were just some of the things students learned in computer class. Many students who moved on to take trigonometry or calculus were students who planned to enter a math field, junior Jennifer Smith said, I took trigonometry so I could go to college and already have had it. I have Mr. Clanzmann and his number one quality is that he ' s so persistent. If I don ' t understand, he stays with me until I do even if it means yelling and screaming at me. Trigonometry is hard but all in all I like the teacher and the people in the class. As juniors a lot of students decided to to take Algebra II. junior J. J. Mongelli said, I took Algebra II, and 1 hate it. My teacher ' s a good guy, but I just don ' t understand it. Algebra comes easy f or me, said Eric Mager. Bill Lloyd gets help from a neighbor while Robin Arevalo and Kurt Holsclaw work independently. Daryl Delaney and Ray Oster team up to work on a program. 1 11 va I

II 1 Hitting the right note Miss Smithwick ' s choir was a small class, but what they lacked in size was made up for by their sound. Some of the choir ' s activities included singing a Christmas concert and a spring concert, and selling chocolate bars to pay for new uniforms. the two students who qualified to hold the two honor choir positions were Suzie Cott- schalk and Melissa Supera. I have to sing harder, but it does sound better than regular choir, said junior Suzie Gottschalk. Vicki Guess said, I get satisfaction out of singing a song and getting it right. The advan- tages are that you learn how to sing the right way. Anybody could sign up. Vicki said, They have to want to sing and they have to try. Miss Smithwick is willing to help anybody who wants to sing, but if they just want it for an easy grade, aon ' t bother taking it! It ' s really work. CHOIR: Front Row: Melissa Supera, Suzie Gottschalk, Second Row: Rosalie HInton, Gloria Wungnema, Heather Williams. Third Row: Laska Wallace, Crystal Chandler, Robin Arevalo, Miss Smithwick. Back Row: Alex Schiarrotta, Shelly Corkey, Alberta Orlando, Gary Rider, Ralph Hicks.

Sieve Thompson looks lo ihe teacher for help on his nialh. Concentration is the name of ihe game as Br.indy Butlerfield sils trying lo figure out the answers for her homework assignment. 10:35 |— Adding up- Generalities- He sat at his desk over- whelmed by his work. It seemed impossible to keep up with the new assignments every day. Since he thought there was no point in wasting his time struggl- ing, he switched to general math. General math developed the student ' s skills and prepared him for moving on to another and higher math class. General math not only prepared students for another class, but it also went at a pace that they could handle. The class also taught the students basic math skills. Senior Julie Navarro said, Mr. Wood provides some help for Heather Lynsky. Mrs. Finley ' s a real good teacher, and she knows how to teach us right. We all have learned a lot from her. Some students took general math just to get an easy grade. I took general math because I wanted to get an A in math. I have Mr. Vickrey; he ' s awesome, said Sophomore loanna Disbrow. Many people did choose to work and earn their grade. For many, general math was a step- ping stone to a better understanding of higher math, and it truly did prove helpful. by Janice D ' Artez Fourth Period
