Enjoying herself at one of Corcoran's after school activities, Margaret Fitzpatrick chews on her plastic cigar. Madeline Leyden th World Turn As all of us know, but not too many admit, the Social Studies Department is a very important part of Student Life at T.J.C.. All the 'iworldly know- ledgew that is taught to us occasionally does come in handy. When we stop to think seriously about our future life, we all realize that the things we learn in European and American Studies help to develop a foundation of know- ledge which will be of value to us throughout our lifetime. There is an old expression that history repeats it- self. With understanding of the past comes greater comprehension of what the future may hold. Our ability to make appropriate judgements increase. But while we're supposedly acquiring all this knowledge, many of us are thinking about what we're going to do after school, after work, or what par- ty we're going to this weekend. The teachers in the Social Studies Depart- ment understand how important this is. But they also realize that everyone needs to be well rounded. At the same time we're doing our classwork, the teachers are probably thinking about what they will be doing when they get out ot' school. For in- stance, Sue Good may be thinking about going horseback ridingg Madeline Leyden wonders where she's going skiing or golfing. While John Curtin is organizing Student Government activ- ities, Conrad Peacock debates whether or not to go to a meeting of the Syra- cuse Teacheris Association. So you see, these teachers are human too. lf you see them on the green or on the slopes, don't be amazed or sur- prisedgjust say 'ghello like you would to any of your OTHER friends.

V Carlton Harrison I r. George Gowan Only one year of mathematics is required for graduation, but many students decide to continue. Some of the courses these am- bitious students have to choose from are Algebra, Geometry, Trig- onometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. If one needs a little help, hefshe only has to ask any math teacher and they will always find the time to be of assistance. Mary Fiumano teaches the Math 10 Honors, which is an advanced course for Sophomores. She has served as department chairperson and advisor to our Math Club. George Gowan, teacher of the Com- puter math program, has been influential in obtaining the compu- ters for Corcoran High School. Wilfred Raes, an energetic person, travels to Syracuse from Oswego each day. On his long trek through the snow, he thinks of his preparatory math, algebra, and trigonometry classes. Hal LaForce, a champion ping pong player, works diligently with his students in Preparatory Math, Intermedi- ate Algebra, and Trigonometry. Vito Belloma, the department chairperson, not only teaches Geometry and Trigonometry, but also coordinates the activities of the math department. 00 4 Root Attempting to work out a g'program in the computer math room can be a challenging, but worthwhile experience. .3-., ur ve., hge, JL.
