Four math classes were of- fered this year by Miss Satter- lee. The students not only ac- quired the math skills and knowledge, but also the respon- sibility of completing their dai- ly homework; consequently, they found the value and im- portance of math in their lives. Fifteen freshmen took Gener- al Math, a review of the new math and basic math skills. Al- gebra I, the largest math class with 24, included freshmen and sophomores. Nine Algebra II students got to work with new books. The format was clearer and the material was much more up-to-date than previous math books. Geometry class in- cluded 12 sophomores and one senior. Advanced math was not offered this year because most of the seniors’ futures did not include the technological fields.

The students studied plant and animal life, general chemistry, and conducted experiments in the lab. They also did annotations and a term paper on a biological subject of their choice.
