You figure it out Cal ulating mind Mathematics affects every student at Terry at one time or another in his or her life. This is the reason that two years of mathe- matics was required in order for a student to graduate. The courses offered at Terry were Fundamentals of Math, Introduction to Algebra, Algebra l, Il, lll, and IV, Geometry, Trigonometry, Elementary analysis, and Calculus. Mathematics evolved over the past few decades from the learning of mathe- matical facts to the mathe- matical advancement of computers. Even though mathematics changed drastically in those few years, it will continue to un- fold to meet the tougher demands of the future, ac- cording to John Savell, math department chairman. Though not all students pursued a profesison requir- ing a complete knowledge of mathematics, useful infor- mation of mathematics sup- plied students with abilities of everyday existence.

S olving the fields of science The courses in science offered at Terry include physical science, Biology l and Il, chemistry, and physics. Two years of science are mandatory for a student to graduate from Terry. Physical science, the first of these courses, is made up of the generalized ideas of chemistry and physics. One probes the topics of atomic structure, changes in mat- ter, chemical formulas, heat, energy, electricity, sound and light. Biology assists the student in understanding the relationship of man to his environment by involv- ing the study of biological laws, terms, principles of biology, and theories of life. Biology ll is directed deeper into such sciences as biochemistry, cytology, ecology, genetics, and technology. Chemistry, the study of the com- position and behavior of matter, is another course offered at Terry. Chemistry involves labs that in- vestigate changes and the causes that occur in matter. Physics goes more in depth with wave motion, light, theories in heat, magnetism, electricity, and nuclear physics. i A Sophomores Greg Ramirez, Adrian Garcia, Tracie Alvarez, and freshman Steve Morales impatient- ly await the arrival of Mr. Joe Talas. Freshman Kim Turney and Natasha D'Gracia explain to Mr. Joe Talas how their lab was studied and solved. P .-Q89 we Il A Freshmen Harry Wright, Frank Compean, and Clark Butler work rapidly as a team to finish their lab. 38 James Blanchard is eager to see the amazing effects of his lab.
