- i K . mim m ti J— .. On Slide Rule PAM POSTLE (left) records data and Jennifer Marks observes as they calculate the percent of water lost from solutions in heating. The class experimented in the labs twice weekly. GEOMETRY problems were discussed by Steve Saltzman and John Uhrig. J9HN BUCHANAN took advantage of the slide rule, a blessing to mathematicians — once they understand how to use it. 18

Special Events Highlighted Language Classes CENTON VAN demonstrates why Spanish class comes alive during the holiday season. The jiiiata is a tradition in Spanish-speaking countries. THE DEATH OF CAESAR is portrayed by atin students Bill Witt (Caesar), Dan Mc- Gill, and Cydney Holt. French yule cakes, Spanish word games, pinatas and holidays, Latin poems and special German reports were all in store for foreign lan- guage students this year. French classes enjoyed Catou Christian, student from France, who helped Miss Hartman with the teach- ing of the French classes. Advanced Latin students translated Vergil ' s Aneid and other Latin poetry. In Spanish classes. Day of the Dead was observed. In this tradition a family takes a dead relative ' s fav- orite lunch and has a picnic on his grave on his saint ' s day. German classes gave special reports on the German school, economic and polit- ical systems. In all the beginning language classes the pupils were re- quired to order meals in the particu- lar language. After-school time was spent on book work and in the laboratory ' by ten Jacksonites who applied for the Indiana University Honors Study. KATHY HUGUENARD, Marilyn I Free. and Jack Drake discover that happiness is knowing all the answers and security is ordering a Spanish meal in the native language. AIRPLANE COMING IN for landing with a future teacher aboard. Miss Sopcz nski is the pilot — for French students in language lab. 17

Or on Stadium Steps We Calculated Problems Goggles and fire-proof aprons protected Jackson ' s amateur chem- ists from bubbling acids and flam- ing potassium. Biologists explored the meaning of life, probing the anatomy of cats, and peering into the microscopic worlds of amoebas and bacteria. Physics classes ana- lyzed motion, energy and light. They experimented with concepts, making written definitions come to life. By timing students racing up the stadium steps, the horsepower of individuals was calculated. The visualization of geometric shapes through figures formed of wadded up paper, books, or pencils added clarifying examples to theo- rems and assumptions in geometry classes. Senior math (college alge- bra and analytic geometry) and ad- ditional Algebra I classes increased last year ' s math schedule of 18 daily classes to 27 this year. CHEERED ON by the physics class, fedarda Chizar chugged up the stadium steps to calcu- late her horsepower. KAREN MacQUR ' EY winced as Quincy Erickson (left) and Sue Rvon made incision. 19
