i MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT k Searching For A Common Denominator The Mathematics Department is staffed by 8 teachers including a department chairman. The Department ser- vices both the non-college and the college-bound stu- dent. Courses for the non-college student include Basic Math Skills and General Math. These courses deal with the mathematical situations encountered in every day living as well as skilled and semi-skilled occupations. Courses for the college-bound students; namely, Pre- Algebra, Math 2 and 3, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Review for College Math, Advanced Math and Calculus satisfy college admission requirements. Over the past 4 years, we have attempted to satisfy the great variety of mathematical needs and abilities of this graduating class. All members of the class of 1987 have spent at least 2 years with us. It has been a pleasure teaching them in class and knowing them as individuals. We hope that they have made the most of our efforts and are well prepared mathematically for their future.
