And why doesn't a circle have a stopping point? Many courses were offered in the math department this year, including a new college preparatory class with a total enrollment of three stu- dents. Even though we had advanced math courses and three daring students exploring the depths of mathe- matics, no one uncovered the why's. The answer will al- ways be That's the way it is. Our math teachers are working hard in their classes, taking new approaches and discovering new ways to explain the why's. Who Knows? One of our teachers may even discover that 2 + 2 really equals five. It has always been said that the courses math and science coincide. But do sliced frogs, dissected gras- shoppers and cut throats, which appear in a freshman's biology class, have anything to do with algebra? As a student takes physical science, he learns to control the weather. This spring the floods were blamed on Mr. Friend and his weather vane. Can this have anything to do with geometry? In the chemistry class Vicki Kemp was scorched, melted, and cremated in Mike Risinger's test tube. Is this a miscalculation from the advanced math class? Seriously, the science department has accomplished much during the year. The teachers have awakened the students to the problems of pollution by presenting a very clever assembly program. Maybe math and science don't coincide, but both are very important courses to students at CHS.
