 w V MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE Is Required for Most Careers. Most of the students at TCHS picked up some bit of mathematical knowledge this year, whether it was 2 + 3 = 5, sin2x +cosJx =1, or that a GOTO statement in the eight place with make your program repeat indefinately. The competent mathemat- ics department at TCHS was kept busy teaching General Math, Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Trigo- nometry and Calculus, as well as Computers I II. The movement from paper to computers in business is reflected in the number of students enrolling in Mr. Day's computer classes. Above Left: Taking one of Mr. Kramer's tests requires total concentration. Greg Harris and Kelly Sweet are working for an A.

SCIENTIFIC FINDS What do rat guts. Atomic sublevels, and the orbit of Mars have in common? They were all covered in the science depart- ment this year. General Science made its debut this year to assist freshmen in meeting the new requirements of two years of science. Physical Science remained as an alterna- tive for those desiring a bit more than General Science had to of- fer. Biology instructed sopho- mores in the breakdowns of the plant and animal kingdoms. Of course, the Advanced Biology class performed their customary dissection of rats again this year. Physics students were surprised by an assignment requiring them to plot the orbit of Mars, while Chemistry and Advanced Chem- istry classes were sent journeying into the world of atoms. Is the Physics class limes Dawn Paris (above left) to figure velocity of acceleration, Advanced Biology student Sherri Stiff and ferry We at her holt (above right) get to chop off the tails of dead rats. Center: As a result of a change in state require- ments, all freshmen take science. Jeff Miller noticed a camera in front of him even though oth- ers were busy with Mr. Warner's test. Right: Plotting the orbit of Mars as Kepler once did are Marc Kreig, Mark Herrmann, Brian Black, and Lance Hay. 28 Science

FROSH DEVELOP MUSCLES Imagine the thump of a slam-dunked basketball, the rumble of running feet, or the splash of a person falling into a pool. These are the sounds of Physical Education. Physical Education doesn't always take place in the gym. It also takes place in the pool and weight room. For the first time, freshman boys spent time in the weight room. Some felt that the weights were in- teresting but a lot of hard work. In the pool, swimmers did laps and practiced safety measures, such as swimming in clothes. Students also took one se- mester of Health and one se- mester of Alcohol and Narcot- ics. Coach George explains to his class the rules for today's relays. Above: Every P.E. student takes swimming during the year. They swim laps, learn ba- sic water safety, and sometimes play games. Above Right: Taking the fitness test, Stacy Pannett hopes to beat the clock. Center Right: Preferring the game of war, they reluctantly agree to relays. Right: While the boys learn wrestling moves, the girls practice tumbling. Pictured are Amy Gibson, Paula Freeman, and Debbie Howe. 30 P.E., Health
