M A T H E M A T I C S Below: Chalk up another one for Angela Stubbs! She seems to know all the angles! Right: Mr. Walters has the undivided attention of his class as he sums up his lesson on multipli- cation and subtraction. Below Right: Mrs. Freeman's Geometry class prepares for an unparalleled test. Hypotenuse is on the Loose It's dangerous going; watch out! There's a hypotenuse out there some- where and it has a nasty byte. It lives in a strange land where the trees have square roots and their logs a rhythm. So arm yourself with the enchanted book of theorems and the magic slide rule. You've entered the world of mathemat- ics. Well, it's really not as bizarre as all of that, but it can be just as exciting if you just open your mind. Mathematics holds the key to another sort of magical king- dom. Making things disappear now be- comes easy; it's called subtracting. Want it to reappear? AbraCadabra! Just add or multiply. No, I must admit taking a mathematics class will not enable you to saw your mother in half, but it will en- able you to stretch your knowledge and imagination in ways you never thought possible. Give Mr. Brown the chance to teach you all the things that can be accom- plished with the aid of a computer. Give Mrs. Freeman the chance to show you how to use formulas as short-cuts to long problems. But most of all, give yourself a chance, and don't sell yourself short in the math department. With a pencil driven with determination, you can be as tall as you want to be. Lisa Zoeller 28 Math

Media Center Helps Students In A Variety Of Ways It's your lunch period and you have an essay due tomorrow. You walk into the library, look around, and you see no one. Thousands of books stare at you omi- nously as you decide what book you should choose. Thinking of a title, author or subject, you look at a book and judge it by its cover. No, no, not that book. You look further on and you see non fiction, fiction, poetry, biographies and all kinds of software looking back at you. As you walk your eyes spy something else. Look at that new Apple computer with a CD rom disk drive! Wouldn't you like to try that! Now you're going crazy because you can't find a good short book. So you do what any other student will do, just grab one and hurry on to your next class. You make your move to the exit and the security system sounds! Beep! Beep! Beep! Already embarrassed, you almost flip over the exit bar. Now you're really going to get it. A library assistant comes out with Mrs. Leffler, who wants to know why you just didn't check out the book properly and save yourself some time. The proper way to do this would be show schedule, sign book card, desensi- tize book, and be on your way. And final- ly, check the book out before the report is due, not after. Have a heart, be smart. Kristine Fisher and Nichole Bradberry % J r m Above: Mr. Haas accepts no excuses! Even though Pricilla Armour's arm is in a sling, she must com- plete her library work accurately. Top Right: Students from Mr. Dressler's class probe their scientific studies deeper thanks to the sixteen thousand volumes offered in the media cen- ter.
