the opportunity to take Algebra 2 after completing Geometry (above and above far right) and Algebra 1. Algebra 2, also taught by Mrs. Hodges, deals with rational numbers, real numbers, operations with polynomials, relations and functions, linear and second degree functions, systems of equations, determinants, exponents, and radicals. This steadily paced course is offered fourth period and thus has a short time span in which to study. Four students from this class, as well as from the three other higher math courses, are sent to Murray each yea for competition against Nancy Brock other schools in this area for scholarships. Helping to prepare the students for this is Mrs. Brock, sometimes known as Miss Geometry.” She teaches the class (below) integrated plane and solid Geometry. It includes logical reasoning and understanding and investigates the relations, properties, and measurements of solids, surgaces, lines, and angles. This is done by memorizing postulates and theorums and applying them to the proofs of statements or equations. Cs 3 CP w p I IBB —i r Algebra I is taught under the instruction of Mrs. Foster. The course teaches the relations and properties of numbers by means of letters, signs of operation, and other symbols including rational expression, products and factors, polynomials and the solution of equations. The study is made interestion through board races for reduction in the amount of homework assigned. Finally, the Transitional Math and General Mathematics classes (far right and below) are taught by the three teachers above and Mrs. Fraize. Brenda Foster Education 25

The Faculty Mary Helen Hodges Trigonometry Analytics is the highest level of mathematical study offered at CCHS. This course includes a study of angles and their trigonometric functions, trigonometry of the right triangle, functions, and graphs, coordinate geometry, and conic sections. With a language all its own, Trig keeps the students alert each day. One term which will not be forgotten is “Vertical asymptote” or “aspentotes,” whichever Mathematics you prefer. The ten seniors in Mrs. Hodges third period class (above right) are Redonna Chandler, Billy Vick, Billy Davidson, Stuart Collins, Turner Martin, Susan May, Kathy Riley. Sandy Hocking, Stephanie Watson, and Jeff Baker (not pictured). With a small class, special attention can be given to each student (below), since there is a greater probability of confusion (center right — Redonna Chandler). Juniors and seniors have 24 Education

The Faculty Mike Ainslie As a freshmen, each student is required to complete one year of science under the teaching skills of Linda Cook or Mike Ainslie (right). This study is in Biology I, Integrated Science I, or Transitional Science, depending on the ability of the individual. Transitional Science (middle opposite — Joey Winders and Dempsey York) emphasizes science terms, reading, and weekly experiments in related fields of physics and chemistry. Science Integrated Science I consists of earth, space, and life study. The fourth nine- weeks will include an electrical energy unit in preparation for Integrated Science. The more advanced freshmen take Biology I. (opposite bottom — Melody Meeks. Sally McKenney, and Janie Rector). This course surveys the plant and animal kingdoms, with emphasis on cellular biology. Laboratory work includes using the scientific research method for all experiments and disection and study of the frog. 26 Education
