For four thousand years people have been collecting and arranging the necessary mental tools for counting and mea- suring. Even now, new approaches, new ideas, and new techniques are appearing in mathematics. Students must be awake to these new ways so that they can be up-to-date in their knowledge. It looks as if Algebra comes easy in Mrs. Peterson's 2nd period class. John Legasse Math 10 Roger Bombardier General Math, Math 12x Math 11 Mrs. Diane Peterson Algebra, General Math Richard Gaughan Math 11, Intermediate Algebra Math 12 is obviously putting P. Palmer to sleep. 26

J. Volpe and D. DeVito arc looking for Prof. Bombardier's an- swers in different directions while in Math 12. You stay here until the big hand is on the 10, Mr. Gaughan is telling his Math 11 class. This Trig class is too busy concentrating on the Law of Cosines to smile at the camera. 27 Mr. Legasse has undivided attention in his Math 10 class.
