Mathematics: Aftermath Helps Studentsg Math Enrollment Soars. It seems as though more students were interested in taking Math than ever before. Perhaps it was because of the new teaching methods used by the teachers. In Basic Math, the students worked at their own rate with individual study packets. They were enthusiastic about finishing the course and ti gift mags t l , ,, ' Ei earning a credit. For those students that were having any difficulties in Math, there was help avail- able in the Math Labs several times a week. In two years the depart- ment expects to have de- veloped several Math courses that coincide with vocational interests.

Freshman learned a new and different approach to science with the use of a vari- ety of equipment. In order to collect speci- mens for their experiments, Biology students were able to travel to the ponds in the courtyards much easier. This was due to the cooperation of the weather. Not onlywas there a chem- istry class offered, but also a vocational chemistry course. The latter was taught with a new text compiled by the instructors of the Gresham High School District. The vocational chemistry was established to help students who were interested in career areas related to chemistry. ACADEMICS 133
