Sabers Prepare For High-Tech World Whether it was the college entrance requirements or the interesting sub- jects involved, many students studied science at Sabino this year. Chemistry, the most popular choice, was perhaps the most difficult to understand. At first it seemed useless to learn chemical for- mulas, but as the year progressed, many students began to relate their studies to everyday life. Classroom hu- mor and interesting demonstrations helped to break the monotony of long lectures. 1. Front row: B. Roth, R. Sicilian, P. Kendrick, A. Kerstitch. Back row: B. Liming, I.

The science menu at Sabino consist- ed of courses ranging from Chemistry and Physics to Astronomy. Biology, which was of particular interest to stu- dents new to the world of science, had five different areas to choose from. Hu- man Anatomy and Genetics was a must for those planning to go into a career of medicine. Those with a weak stomach were not encouraged to take Plants and Animals, where reptiles and am- phibians frequently fell prey to aspiring surgeons. Marine Biology, Environ- ment, and Animal Behavior were the other options in Biology. New this year was an Advanced Chemistry course, taught by Mr. Johnson. With the variety of courses offered, it was no surprise that many Sabers chose a science class to learn about the life and the laws of the universe.

Dreaming A Number Wonderland Nightmare Do you remember the nights you stayed up, studying your brains out tor that tough test in your math class? Once you tinally got to sleep, the Py- thagorean Theorem, Law ot Sines, hy- perbolas, and all sorts ot real and imaginary numbers danced about your head. Waking up, you felt as though you had been through a number won' derland nightmare. True, math may have been confus- ing, but Sabino came to our rescue with a great math department. Led by the department chairman, Mr. Rick Hamilton, the twelve members ot the department were always there in times of trouble. Sabino not only had a full torce ot math teachers, but also a tull force ot 55 math classes, involving about 1650 de- voted math students. The change in college credit requirements brought this increase. More and more students went back to math, even atter a tew years, to receive math credits needed. Also new IBM computers helped bring about this increase. Mr. Hamilton pre- dicted, 5abino should do well on the state and national math tests . Math is used in all fields ot work. A good math background is a necessity in succeeding in college and in getting a good paying job. We should be appre- ciative to those math teachers who kept our heads spinning at night.
