I Leaf Collections, Lab Work and Graphs It was necessary for all freshmen to take biology. Each individual searched for various kinds of insects and leaves for their collections. Dissecting fish and frogs aided the class to understand facts about animals and plants. Pupils taking chemistry gained knowledge about chemical elements and solved scientific problems. They experimented in the lab to determine the composition of various compounds. Studying facts about matter and motion in physics helped to enlarge the knowledge of the seniors. Included in this course are the studies of heat, light, sound, mechanics, forces, power, and electricity. Leafing through their collections, Brian Zurcher, Larry Rich, and Marlene Stucky compare their biology notebooks. With Mr. Allspaw ' s super¬ vision, Kathy McKean and Kent Whitacre avoid the danger of scorched chem¬ icals by using a small flame.

m Mrs. Stucky explains her point to Judy Ringer (r.) and Pauline Ripley (1.) her Latinae Scholae. Get the message, everybody? Combine Verbs, Voice, and Vocabulary Subjects, predicates, direct objects, clauses, and objective complements, themes, book reports, and term papers confront English students. Mrs. Mun¬ son, Mr. Shoup, and Mrs. Whittenburg taught freshman through seniors syntax, good writing procedures, and spelling. During the second semester freshmen read David Copperfield, sophomores discover Shakespeare as they memorize parts of Julius Caesar, Juniors study the heritage of America by reading great literature, and seniors struggle to understand Macbeth. Latin and Spanish pupils learn another language by conjugating verbs, declin¬ ing nouns, and translating. Miss Williamson taught Spanish I, II, and III pupils some Spanish customs. Mrs. Stucky ' s Latin I and II classes gave reports on Roman gods and goddesses. Margaret Rowdon and Melvin Burkhart can prove that this tape can do what Scotch tape can ' t do. 17

Accent Science, Math The increase in the enrollment of the mathematics classes this year called for the establishment of new Algebra I, Algebra II, and trigonometry classes. The two Algebra I classes were taught by Mr. Allspaw while the general math classes were handled by Mr. Habegger and Mr. Adler. Miss Beavers kept busy with two Algebra II sections, two plane geometry classes, and one trig class. Geometry pupils learned the funda¬ mentals of circles and triangles while algebra students studied equations. Adams Central ' s math teachers were very experienced with their subject, having a total of seventy-five years of service. The plot thickens for Warren Macy as Miss Beavers explains the Mystery of the hyperbole to him. X marks the spot where Dennis Harvey bisects the angle Miss Beavers had drawn. Ron Kipfer and Linda Rich find that it takes team¬ work to work some Chemistry problems. 19
