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.

She says, Sabino's Little Theater is one of the best theaters in Tucson, and that all of her classes were very sophisticated and had a lot of potential in future acting careers. Mrs. Corcoran's goal was not to pro- duce future actors and actresses but to give her students the confidence to get up in front of a grcup of people. Sabino has a great Fine Arts Depart- ment with willing teachers to help you get involved with school activities and become more confident.
