Shopping, building, budgeting, buying, selling, and paying the baby-sitter all require some knowledge of math. MacArthur's math department tries to teach the basics in addition to the advanced applications. Tossing coins to understand the principles of probability and statistics are only one way to interest students in math class, according to Ms. Nini Quals. Teachers employ as many visual aids as possible to help students grasp the abstract ideas in mathematics. Although some find it hard to relate to math, Ms. Margaret Knesek says, lt's good mental exercise. Mr. Kerry Rock helps Sylvia Baraias in finishing her math assignment. 5 ,,,,. 52 i Q, V' rv ziit.

Students are involved in training programs which feature a three hour class in both the iunior and senior years. This extended class time gives students ample time to work on proiects such as brake iobs on cars, cabinets for a new home or repairs on television sets. Students get a jump on today's iob market by graduating high school proficient in auto mechanics, cabinetmaking, radio and television repair, building trades, air conditioning and refrigeration and drafting. Toward the end of their sen- ior year, students who are able to find iobs in their fields are allowed to leave school early in order to get additional on- the-iob training. Senior Greg Kirsch pauses before adding freeon to an air conditioning unit.
