ini-computers aid math pupils Tokay math teachers plan- ned a unique tutoring program at the beginning of the year. Mini-computers were or- dered for use in a new mathematics laboratory. The program was developed to help students with dif- ficulties in understanding math. The computers were expected to be used by the students themselves for bet- ter understanding of basic math skills. The Math Department was also involved with the spon- soring of a school club. Gary Haas, a math instructor, was the adviser of the Games Club. Along with the usual games of chess, backgam- mon, and various strategical games, members of the club also played a variety of video games. I would like to have seen more students come in before and after school for help, commented George Medeiros, head of the Math Department. Because teachers are always willing to assist students with any type of problem. . ..- ,. . . .. f., iZfssg,:.,g.:- . Z. . .. if . .. sw---Ne::w :. W- - . sf. , N' . , W . ,- , ..,...

Science boasts 'quality teachers' High quality teachers greatly enhanced the Scien- ce Department this year and teachers were working in the areas they enjoyed the most and for which they were the most qualified. This was made in a an accreditation report which was turned in to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Astronomy, physiology of exercise, and physical scien- ce were all relatively new courses taught by Gilbert Burrows, Dave Mende, and Susan Heberle. Brand new this year was General Scien- 4.

Photography teacher James Peck discusses the class assignment with students. 7. Instructors Susan Heberle and David Mende show in- ce X. This course was designed for students with learning difficulties. As if out of Star Wars, lasers were being used this year to demonstrate holography or three- dimensional photography. According to Mr. Burrows, head of the Science Depar- tment, the next big invest- ment the Science Depar- tment plans to make are Ap- ple micro-computers. These computers would be used for a computer science class planned to be offered next year. JNN., terest in the biology pond behind the Science S Building. 138 in H 'fT,,t.
