Teachers help students overcome mathematics Lecturing on the daily assignment, as seen by Miss Swanson, is basic procedure in a geometry or an Algebra I class. These early years in math introduce the students to a good deal of fundamental tools. i f V' f Q .S Q-, ,, ' . . l ' 1 tgtt egtl W' Ii tg. ' 2 fi- K if , mf.-N' mul' Ns -..........W. A J WNW. Individual help from the teacher is defnitely needed in all classes of learning especially in the math department. Here Mr. Hoffman works a problem with one of his students in analysis. Mr. Vernich instructs his Algebra 2fTrig. class in the techniques of proper usage of the slide rule. This class is usually taken after one year of algebra and one year of geometry at Saguaro.

Class time this year was a short fifty-Jive minutes as usual. ,,f3: 4 0' f The slightest mistake in an addition problem can make a whole chemistry experiment incorrect. For that reason Mr. Stevens goes over these equations. The science department this year not only increased in the amount ofstudents taking courses in this field but was also able to add an additional teacher for chemistry. Each year the science teachers gather new and more up-to -date material to inform their students in their classes. The students have also accomplished something. They have not only placed in nation wide contests but have also received scholarships to con- tinue their studies in this field. At the end of the year the teachers have a banquet honoring one of their best students. SCIENCE - 153
