Football Coach Ami Cymnaalic Coach The Math Department offers a wide range of courses that fulfill ail levels of math requirements from Basic Math to Honors Calculus. Since not all students enjoy math as much they perhaps should, LPHS math teachers try to make their classes both fun and interesting. Their tactics vary from simple iokes to math earnes (yes, they can be fun) to unusual class projects like the measure- ment of lightpoles. These efforts are truly appreciated by math students. Other stimulating events are national and state tests given to all willing student participants. Pro- grams such as these tests are giving math a facelift in the eyes of the nation. LPHS is leading the way in this new movement with its ever-changing Math Department. ▲ 4 ▲ 5 26 Math

Gone is the day of Gutenberg's movable type and the Chinese abacus. Now we have electric typewriters and calculators as well as word processors and computers. Business courses too have changed. They now include self- development programs such as 'T Can. Business classes still hold the promise of future wealth, but they also help students learn to be confident with their capabilities. ▲ 7 Kustness 25
