Calculator Utilized by Math Department Whether one's interests lie in the home or being a calculation and slide rule expert, math is of importance to all. The type of career one has is equalized with the amount of math needed for a lasting job. An innovation in learning has been added to the Math Department curriculum in the shape of a Monroe Calculator. The eighteen hundred dollar machine allows students to program and solve mathematical problems. It is a needed addition to placing mathematical concepts in practice. Although only two years of math are required to graduate, there are eleven different math and mathematically oriented courses offered. Students wishing to major in math find their knowledge of math broadened with some of these courses. In addition to the various levels of Funda- mentals, Algebra and Geometry, students may also choose to take Speed Math, Trigonome- try, and Analysis. Students in Analysis are Mrs. Ina Morgan checks grades of Tommy Stone. introduced to pre-calculus and analytical geometry. y 4 Problems in Introductory Algebra are explained to Kelly Skinner by Mr. Q.

Larry Stevenson tests flame to identify metals. Science Tests Students' Ability to Relcite to Lite The Sherman High School Science Department offers a wide range of courses from Physical Sci- ence to Physics. In Physical Science the students learn the fun- damentals of living and non-living matter, as well as the charges of dry cell batteries. Dissecting animals furthers the student's study of the relationships of life in Biology l and ll. Environment is also a study known to be of importance in this course . Chemistry involves the composition of different elements, along with the memorization of certain formulas and symbols. After completing experiment, Elaine Gilbert checks analysis with Mr. Clerence Langford. Coach Gary Hardin explains protozoans to Susie Blair and Susan Gearinger. Physics is the science dealing with different forms of energy. Students study mechanics, heat, light, sound and electricity. In order to further inhance their study of sci- ence, students are involved in lab experiments. In some classes, students are encouraged to use their individual preferences in their choices of experimental programs. There are four available science labs which are put to use by the science classes. Mrs. Marzelle Tocquigny explains to Jacque Dickerson and Linda Whetzle that motion is a way of transferring energy. 30 ., e,,, .,,, , unni,smml , J.,
