Bob Rebon and Jim Dale prepare the hypsometer for an experiment Dan Strickland explains to John Elenslxy, Beatrice Raf- ferty, and Lucy Passarelli the use of a trigonometric function in solving a problem. O 1 Apt students Jack Gordlock, Tom Ritz, Eva Mae Neeper all know the answer to this one. The fields of math and science form the backdrop of modern civilization. These departments contribute much toward the development of an analytical mind, an asset which will be beneficial in solving future problems. Mr. Alton Miller, as head of the science department, is a very efficient instructor of biology and academic phy- sics. His students have quite a game trying to buck his unique system of grading and trying to figure out how he became a walking newspaper. Very much interested in his subiect is excitable Mr. Carl Bordus. Many graduates return to loud him for his science and chemistry instruction, His extra-curricular assignment is that of ECHO photographer. Our guidance counselor, Mr. Leslie Leach, is well re- membered by his students for his subtle sense of humor. Instead of being complicated, geometry and trigonom- etry are made more challenging and interesting by him. He also is an ECHO photographer.
