Frank Maurizi, senior, finds working them a breeze, especially with Mr. Robert Zenor, cal- culus teacher checking his work. The calculus class, hosting seven advanced mathematics stu- dents, was an added attraction to the Coro- nado math program. 27

Why Approach Utilized In Mathematics Pr Angles, arcs, segments and parallels-for geome try students these terms were everyday language. Mrs. Mariorie Ruegsegger, department chairman offers assistance to one of her students, sopho- YCII11 more Laura Sahlin, in constructing angles. The construction of angles and arcs proved to be an essential segment of the geometry courses. MARJORIE RU EGSEGGER Geometry . . . department chair- man, 8 years teaching, degree . . . B.S., sponsored Criada club, enioys Delta Kappa Gamma ac- tivities. Why are two plus two four? Mathematics at Coro- nado is approached from the why angle this year. Mrs. Marjorie Ruegsegger, de- partment chairman, explain- ed, This new modern ap- proach was brought into the curriculum in hopes that stu- dents will understand the why of mathematical con- cepts and that the creative spirit of today's mathematics will be included in Corona- do's math program. More than 1,300 students are find- ing out the why's from ii teachers. MILTON CHRISTEN Algebra, math I ii years teaching, degrees . . .

What is the science department coming to? f, A highlight of new equipment received in the de- partment this year, it was used for preparing dis- tilled water for various science classes. Ten teachers instructed 1200 Dons enrolled in the science courses. Headed by Mr. Robert Gray, the department included a new course, advanced chemistry, in the curriculum. ROBERT K.
