Various facilities heighten students' math abilities :J g-. Wfv r 7 ' Ll' ffl Ml W -pai '5 I' T.ifrg'L i i il' yn. ' '- I rv flpf- A :ji i f fy During the past thirteen years, the Math Department has undergone various changes. The average class size, the percent of students taking math, and the number of courses offered, have all increased through the years. The Math Resource Center is a relatively new addition to this department and has given students a means for attaining assistance outside of the classroom during their study periods. Moreover, a computer terminal was opened to students taking computer science. Also aimed at helping students with problems, teachers were available before school every morning. This year, like all years, this department has strength- ened the students' abilities in a popu- lar and necessary subject. sl l' ,ga ML 99

Science Dept. . . I modifies class With an increase in the number of laboratories, classes, teachers and courses available, the Science De- partment has gained much popu- larity with students throughout the years. Thirteen years ago, courses such as Geology and Accelerated Biology I were nonexistent, but were recently added to broaden the selec- tion for students. This year, in particular, emphasis was placed on the Physical Science course which underwent many modifications. Also, a trial chemistry textbook was used to further benefit the students. Obviously students needs were met by the many science classes.
