Mr. Bill Favrow used mathematical reasoning Demonstrating to other pupils how to work o problem is one of the many assignments in geometry. Mr. Gene Clohecy From simple addition to advanced algebra, students studied the mathematics consistent with their chosen program of studies. Mr. Bailey, Mr. Green, and Mr. Favrow started them out on the new math while Mr. Kukuk steered them through beginning al- gebra. Mr. Clohecy taught the theorems of geometry, and Mr. Shell groomed the advanced students for calculus and the appli- cation of higher mathematics to other scientific problems. Mr. Loren Green Kenneth Metz tries his skill ot using a slide rule while Tom Banion kibitzes and Mr. Shell supervises.

Freshmen gained much knowledge from experiments performed in general Students learned scientific methods and Neither fear of explosions in Mr. Shell's chemistry class, nor squeamishness about direc- tions in Mr. Hoover's biology class deterred the inquiring minds. General science students prepared Science Fair exhibits under Mr. Fiel's guidance, and applied science was taught in Mr. Hampton's exploratory and review courses for seventh graders and seniors. Another Salk, Curie, or Carver may have started in these laboratories. Jerry William» solves one of the many problems foced by the students in physics class. Doc Shell helps lee Hoover and Janet Harrison with an experiment in chemistry. Mr. F. S. Hoover Mr. Neil F. Shell 26

Students learned of past and needs for good In social studies classes the world is looked at from several different views. The legal aspects were looked into in Mr. Allison's junior American government classes. These students learned about the city, state, and national governments in the United States and compared democratic and communistic forms of govern- ment. At the same time, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Lavin joined forces to teach the sophomores the history of the world. Mr. Bale taught the seniors the history of America, while Mr. Sjoblom and the eighth graders also studied the history of our country. The seventh graders looked at the world, too, but Mr. Hanna's geography classes viewed it from a physical standpoint, rather than political. All these courses attempted to help the youth of America become better informed citizens. Mr. Bradford's civic classes grew in knowledge os they watched film strips about current events once a week. While some classes learned about the world physically, politically, and historically, Mr. Bradford was busy teaching the freshmen how to be better citizens. These students looked at cur- rent events films, learned about the city, state, and national governments, and concentrated on the rights and obligations of a citizen. The freshmen also took tests in this class to aid them in selecting their future courses of study.
