Department adjusts to aid students In order to help students with their math dif- ticulties, trigonometry was offered three quar- ters instead of one as in the past, explained Ms. Kaye Arnold, department chairman. With the change, students could repeat the course if necessary, she stressed. Also to aid students, 60 new calculators were purchased for classroom use. In addition, a decrease m the enrollment especially in the lower levels allowed for more individual help, she added. Overall, the department personnel remained the same except for the addition of Dr. Char- lotte Sumrall who taught Introduction to Alge- bra and Algebra I, added Ms. Arnold.

Three new teachers were added to the science faculty, explained Mr. Kurt Hart- mann, department head. The new teach- ers, Ms. Charlotte Ray, Ms. Gail Duna- gan, and Ms. Janet Calabro, all taught biology. The new teachers were added because freshmen were required to take biology instead of physical science. In addition to the biology courses, physics, chemistry and physical science were offered. Elective courses were also offered including Biology II and Chemis- try II, added Mr. Hartmann. Wendy Weissman explained that sci- ence helped her to better understand the world around me. Mr. Hartmann said that scientific knowledge was useful to everyone because science is used in everyday life.
