X, Y, and Z Equal Many Headaches A problem seems clear enough until you have to be one to explain it to your classmates, but John Ambroz gives it the good old high school try. Wally Connolly finds the slide rule to be an effective short cut if you manipulate it. Just one little x can be the biggest problem a math student has to face. Add a y or z and he has the complexity of the whole numeral system. But the most important thing to solving the problem is theapproach. This usually begins with practical math or algebra as a freshman, then progresses to geometry and advanced algebra, and'finally reaches trigonometry. Solving this mathmatical problem forces students logical thinking which becomes an asset in any subject.

Various Experiments Performed in Labs Whether it's a flam© or your own blood, you're sure to learn from observations in science. Observing is the most important factor in all science courses, from general science to physics. Work in labs helps each student more clearly understand his classroom discussions. It may be through watching micro-organisms or a chemical reaction. Other study aids such as Mr. X in biology, a plastic human with removable parts, and molecular structures in chemistry, help the students visualize the problems. Sew student like Regina Roll aren't brave enough to pock their finger and cal on Mr. Burkink. The wick is burning , Ron Nordyke and Barb Beckner observe the most obvious in lab.

If you have your eye on a career in business, then more than likely you are enrolled in shorthand, bookkeeping, or typing. These three skills are the keys to success in a commercial vocation. Much of the time is spent in practice. The main emphasis is placedonaccuracy and speed, andthese can be accomplished only through many hours of practice. Typing is, however, a course that many non-commercial students take on a semester basis. It is generally recommended for all students who plan to attend college. Mrs. Marilyn Bell From the word go, students begin clacking on the typewriters in a time test, creating a type of modern music all their own. 20 Connie Biggerstaff attempts to translate dictation in shorthand from the previous day.
