Math department adds students Algebra, geometry, trigonom- etry, and calculus are some of the different math choices students may pick from. This year, many students have been taking more than the required number of math credits. There are approx- imately 19 in calculus, and 283 in Algebra II. Next year in order to graduate, all pupils will be expected to complete three years instead of two years of math. Miss Kaye Arnold, head of the math department, said that the enrollment will be larger in the next few years. Students in accelerated math classes have the opportunity to go to local and national contests. Two of these were the Texas State Mathematics League Competition and the National Examina- tion in February. iss., 4 ,nl

This year's high point, so far, has Students at this school have a ter- rific opportunity to advance in the sciences because of the enthusiasm and dedication of our science staff. Mrs. Marcia Kemble, Science Chairman I think the high point in my science class this year was the reinstating of field trips to our schedule, along with the addition of new activities to our class. Chris Eichler, 12 The low point of my year in chemistry was trying to remember the charges of the ions. If the charges are wrong it makes your whole problem wrong Kim Compton, 12 Scientists study ions, clams, properties of the world yr.

The labs are best, since they show something ab the properties of the world. They dc teach by saying 'memorize this chai they say 'watch this work.' That ma them unique. They are all interest though, none is a high point. David Gof I CM 'nv
