GEOMETRlC MODELS assist student in applying the theorems and identities that are a must in geometry. ath Parlance Battles Student Tangents and logarithms, graphs and vec- tors, theorems and identities were familiar phrases used by the math students of Central. The department, under the guidance of lVlr. lack Skelton, chairman, was staffed with many highly qualified teachers, who emphasized the importance and application of mathematics in college, the business fields, and the everyday life of the World around us. Aside from the basic math courses in the curriculum, students were offered trigonom- etry, advanced algebra, and math analysis. which helped prepare them for other studies offered at Central as well as at college. MYSTIFYING is the word these tired math analysis students use to describe last nights extensive homework. Nw.

SPYING a very time picture ot Bob Bantield, Larry Elliott proceeds in its removal with some suggestions trom journalist Carol Supernaw. ff. 535 RVIV -A Character Do Count in J-11 Little did the innocent sophomores know when they rant, to pick up their cards for journalism ll that they were signing up for the only non-solid in which there was to be homework! Now this homework took many forms-from writing colums and other journal- istic masterpieces to cutting holes in the even- ing newspapers before it was read by the family in order to find and mount various examples of the different types of news stories. As the year progressed student work was JOURNALISM-FRONT ROW: Cynthia Rylander. Carol Supernaw, Beverlie Boyd, Betty Cody, Dale Tolar, Tina Lewis, Teresa Osborn. SECOND ROW: Peggy Pape, Cathy Ellison, Martha Phillips, Gayle Coburn, Carolyn Cunningham, Mary Nott, Sandra Wallace, Betsy Foresman, Sharon Archibald, Mr. Jack Orme. THIRD ROW: Stan Terry, Kathy Simmons, Pam Harper, Linda Dalby, Pam Morrison, Cindy Rodgers, Judy Noble, Norma Q highlighted with field trips to Southwestern Engraving Company, T. U. Press Day, and the N .S.P.A. Convention in Chicago in November. Amidst the grumbling about the homework, much was learned about journalistic procedure --counting characters for headlines and cut- lines, writing leads, checking identifications- all in preparation for asuming a coveted posi- tion on either the 1965 Tom Tom or School Life staffs. At the spring picnic choices for staff posts were announced. Huttord, Perry MacDonald, Beverly Hubbard, Linda Rachel Paru, Linda Carter, Dorothy Lighttoot, Susan Taylor, Karen Lund, Carolyn Merriman, Nancy Barkley, Charlyn Langston, Judy Irby, Joe Ruttin. BACK ROW: John Lamber-ton, George Stroud, Tom Shank, Walter Kruse, Al Smith, Mike Richardson, Joe Smith, Larry Elliott, Tom Gilbert, John Jones, Carl Adkins, Bob Bantield, Jerry Kirk, Earle Horton. is ..

CAREFULLY observing and recording the results of good use of the advanced physical science laboratory their varied experiments, these six A.P.S. students malce which is adjoining their regular science classroom, cientists-to-be can Universe ulndividualists, every oneiu was the Way Mr. Hall described the boys taking advanced phy- sical science this year. The students were seniors Who had made at least a B in chem- istry and had taken or were enrolled in trig- onornetry and advanced algebra. A.P.S. emphasized the problem solving ap- proach in class and lab. Following a con- stantly revised format, students learned the use of equipment and the interpretation of lab data by quantitative and qualitative analysis. An individual project was required of every- body in the class. Each student did his own background reading and performed his own experiments to obtain first-hand information on his chosen topic. The student then corn- piled what he had learned into a Written scien- tific research paper. The individual projects this year were concerned With basic funda- mental concepts of chemistry and physics. MEASURING CURRENTS with the oscilloscope are Wayne Ferguson, Sidney Kitchel and Gary Runyan.
