Math IV students Tom Miller and Peter Clark i-ind picture-taking more interesting than Mike Shulfer's problem solving. Miss LaPointe and calculus student Liz Swiontek, a participant in the advanced placement program, agree that quality instead of quantity leads to classroom suc- ' cess. Modern books, pamphlets, and mechanisms all shed light on the complex study of mathematics. As freshmen, we are transported from the princi- ples of grade school arithmetic to the abstractions of higher math. Though the basic principles re- main the same, we enlarge our vocabulary with numerous terms and procedures that would chal- lenge any young Einstein. With this basis in al- gebra, we graduate to modern geometry, which gives us a fresh look at the three-dimensional world inhabited by spheres, cubes, and prisms. With this foundation, the juniors build and increase their analytical abilities through the study of progres- sions, logarithms, quadratic equations, and various complex operations. In trigonometry, the seniors review the work of their last three years and pre- view the complex world of college math. 23

I certainly hope it isn't as hard as it looks, explains Math I student Lawrence Klein to MATH... ANALYTICAL MIN DS, ABSTRACT THOUGHTS This is worse than a Chinese cross-word puzzlef' mutters David Zettel to Mark Pozolinski, as Nancy Cera apparently agrees. There are times when minds can't match machines, quips Marie Dachelet to John Vander Heyden.

,Lf Typing H student Janet Schrnitzer knows that in a timing one's never saved by the bell, and Bill Beisenstein is no exception. SPRINGBOARD TO THE CLERICAL OFFICE Patty Harold, Mary Kampo, and Sandy Porsche demonstrate the many positions that a secretary often assumes in the business world. General business student Dick Larsen finds that it's easier to check the balance than to balance the checks. E
