Greaves and Lance Mandell enter material the data machine. jj o Practical use stressed IH math, science program M ath was always a difficult subject, but different approaches held students' in- terest. ln consumer math, taxes, stocks, and real estate were the medium used to teach students things about everyday liv- ing. Mrs. Elizabeth Chaskin, consumer math teacher, said, Students often ask in most math classes, 'When am I going to use this?' No one in consumer math ever asks me that. They know the importance of the material. Computer math was another math course that was not strictly math. ln com- puter math, the students were taught three steps to using the computer. First they had to learn the basic machine, then the computer language, and then they used the computers to solve math problems. The computer knows only how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and compare numbers. We have to teach it everything else, said Mr. Gary Baker, computer math teacher. T hose who really enjoyed math joined the math team. Lance Mandell, George Mr. Walter Potter demonstrates to his physics class the concept of force applied over a distance. Hanna and Mark Yarborough were selected to travel to New Jersey to compete in a national competition. In Biology ll, the students dissected a rat and Wendy Lane said, lt was the best part of the course. Anatomy and Physiology students were able to see the different systems of the human body by comparing it to a dissected cat. Dissecting the cat brings you into direct contact with the different things you've learned earlier in the class, said senior Paul Brunsvold. H onors chemistry was a difficult course to get into. An A in honors biology and A or a B in honors algebra were required before a student could be admit- ted to the class. The Clark Science Department had a lot of students who placed in the Alamo Regional Science Fair. Denise Hernandez placed third in the field of applied botany, Chris Van Vooren placed fourth in chemis- try, Jerry Weatherman placed fourth in behavioral sciences, Jenny Burghard received the General McMullen award, and Jeff Hoberman received a special accom- modation from the Ll.S. Army. Lisa Scott Denise Hernandez displays her project which placed third in the Applied Botany division at the Alamo Regional Science Fair. Math, Science 159
