Math Science The math department includes Math for the Real World, Business Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Al- gebra II, Geometry, and Senior Math. Pre-Algebra was a new course this year. This course was designed to ease a student through the tran- sition from elementary mathmatics to Algebra. Then the math classes extend on to Senior Math which completes the total structure of the high school mathmatics curricu- lum. In Senior Math the principles of previous math courses are com- bined. Taking Senior Math gave college-bound students a definite advantages in taking calculus as a college freshman. The science department includes Applied Science, You and Your En- vironment, Biology, Human Anatomy and Physiology, General Chemistry, and General Physics.

6 Speech-Drama Foreign Lang. Language Arts Speech and drama is a very excit- ing class and is a very good exper- ience for the students. Speech and Drama (novice) provides the stu- dent with the introduction to act- ing. The students have to get on stage and do many different types of performances and presentations such as pantomime, readings, and memorized scenes. We have two different types of foreign Languages including Span- ish and French. We have Spanish 1 through Spanish IV and French I through French III. These courses start out with the introduction to the language, understanding it, reading and writing the language. It also gives an introduction to the cultures. These are interesting and every student college bound should have at least a year of one of these languages. English 1 through 3 are required by all students. English 1 and 2 ba- sically focus on grammar, spelling, vocabulary and writing. English 3 places emphasis on the reading of American literature and the expres- sion of ideas in writing. The four areas of study throughout the year are: vocabulary, linguistics, litera- ture, and composition. Cindy Zunigha and Laura Kincade are working hard in Speech and Drama per- forming on the stage. Gary Schaffer is working real hard in Mr. Royer's English class.
