BS' one of her math students during class. Geometry is usually taken as a second year math course in preparation for Algebra ll-Trig, Analysis, and Calculus. Math Strives to Stress Logic with Skills Mr. Tom Hopkins explains the use of Venn Diagrams to his Algebra I class. Algebra is the branch of mathematics that has to do with quantity and the relations of numbers. The calculations are performed by means of letters and symbols. Algebra I is second after Basic Math in the chain of mathematics courses. It is taken by most freshmen and is followed by Geometry taken the next year. MATHEMATICS-165

Marion Magill-chemistry, taught ten yearsg B.S., lVl.A. M' Biology students listen and take notes while Mr. Allen Gardner lectures to them. Many of the science courses were done in the form of lectures followed by lab experiments. Some of the biology labs were spent on dissecting small animals. Students observed the physical make-up of animals. Miss Marion lVlagill demonstrates the newest way to discipline students. The lab was used to prove theories and it enabled students to observe chemistry firsthand. Science is the broad field of human knowledge consisting of facts held together by rules or principles. Science is divided into life science and physical science. The life sciences study living organisms and their activities. These include biology, anatomy, and hu m a n physiology. The physical sciences are mainly concerned with the nature of the universe. They include chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and physical science. Saguaro realizes that the growth of civilization depends on the progress and change of scientific discoveries, and for this reason, it affords students all possible opportunities to improve the world around them.
