mmmm i One matter which math teachers were concerned with was the state requirement that only one mathe¬ matics unit is required to graduate. Students who studied math for only one year were not taking full ad¬ vantage of what the Mathematics Department offered. Everything from basic math to calculus was available for the interest¬ ed student. Those who studied math throughout their high school years have found it to be beneficial in all walks of life upon graduation. Mrs. Joyce Weeks, Chairman of the Mathematics Department noted that, “The Mathematics Department strongly advocates that learning math or any subject should require that students acquire procedures to assist them in solving individual problems in addition to mathematical problems.” 1.

Long awaited and desired, an Advanced Placement Biology class finally became part of the science curriculum. Mr. Bennet was the first to instruct the class, which was designed to give the students a chance to study biology indepth. The students reacted differently to the class. Some were enthusiastic, others confused, and still others were frustrated. Student interest seemed to be lacking throughout the year. Mr. Bennet com¬ mented, “There is a general apathy on the part of students. The students now are reluctant to participate in difficult subjects. Thus, the achievement levels have fallen.” Llowever, the year did have its highlights. Students and teachers who participated in the Junior Academy Science Fair found that student apathy is lost when interest is gained. 1. COLONEL DORRENCE WILKISON efficiently responds to a question.
