' Kafka .5 'r -as l -'0lu,, Constructing DNA models, dissecting earthworms, distilling water, and deriving formulas comprised a major portion of our science studies. With great finesse we attempted to extract the thread-like spinal cord from the earthworm. When filtering our own drinking water, we were cautious not to break the expensive distillation tubes. Learning takes place only when there is a desire to learn. This desire to learn comes from factors inside the student and the teacher can only be a helper.

Staff Math is important to every phase of life. A person cannot survive successfully without basic math skills. Each math course at West has a definite purpose: algebra, geometry, and advanced math are primarily for the college bound student. Consumer math is a course that teaches one how to deal with 'true to life' problems. Banking, income tax, and roadmapping are three topics which seem to help consumer math students the most. Mrs. Diane Hankins We try to give students the math that will help them most for their plans after high school. Students now in college report back to let us know how to do a better job teaching the college prep courses, according to specific areas in which they feel inadequate in college Ce.g. they said last year more trig l. The advanced math course constantly undergoes change according to what we can learn about areas in which change is needed. The consumer math course is a practical course for students not planning to go to college. Among the practical units are filling out an income tax form, buying a car, and installment buying. These are problems that these students will be facing very soon. Ms. Yvonne Allen The Mathematics Department includes Row 1: Ms. Yvonne Allen, Department Chairmang Mrs. Diane Hankins.

Studying the origin of man, ages of discovery, and military victories and conquests, challenged minds throughout the year. By studying the events of recorded history, we have learned to accept different cultures as they are and not as we think they should be. Education should be an integral and definite part of purposeful living.
