Concepts Taught There isn ' t a day that goes by when Mathematics is not used in one form or another, and yet, to many people, Math, especially the higher forms of algebra and calculus, seem like some large, dark and totally unknown cavern. Pictured on this page is the Math faculty of W.C.H.S. whose purpose is to light the darker recesses of geometry and algebra in order that you might see them more clear- ly. They, perhaps more than any other group of teachers, hear the phrase I don ' t understand . . . and yet they keep striving to pass the light of knowledge from themselves to their students. Pic- tured Upper Left: Mr. Robert Mamman, General Math, Geometry; At Left: Mr. Gary Smart, Advanced Algebra, Math Analysis; Above: Mr. Randy Jones, Physical Science, Algebra.

IN SCIENCE Experimentation Used The science department for the 1974-75 school year has expanded beyond the classic idea of just book learning. This year the teachers are placing greater emphasis upon the fact that knowledge goes hand in hand with experimentation. Each student is given the opportunity to explore the basic laws of science first hand. Through the use of this invaluable method of teaching, the pupil is permitted to ex- perience and observe the strange, but intriguing ways of Mother Nature.
