.X jj. Science Club Prepares For Archeological Dig Mrs. Davis' seventh and eighth grade science classes got a taste of the contract grading system. As one part of the contract for a high grade, a student had to do art projects. Work with gasoline engines was particularly interesting to the eighth graders, while dissecting frogs captured the seventh graders' interest. Future career goals were taken into consideration in advanced biology class. Subjects were studied that would benefit students planning to go into such careers as nursing and physical education. The Science Club, under the direction of William Teeters, planned an archeological dig. They prepared for this dig with books and films on the subject. was '

Math Classes Receive New Books, Equipment A highlight of the physics class was the trip to the Science Department at Southeast Missouri University. Four physics students and Bill Daugherty, their instructor, attended the Bell Telephone Science Day at Howard Johnson's Motel. The remedial math class endeavored to collect a million soda bottle caps to gain a concept of huge numbers. Mr. Daugherty also taught this class, geometry, and Algebra ll. Mrs. Viola Mayfield's classes received new materials this year. They included magic squares, line designs, string designs, and books on construction and space figures. The Eighth Grade concentrated on a construction booklet, while the Seventh Grade turned in some interesting designs. Mrs. Mayfield instructed the Ninth Grade, too. F i Q l l 69
