Physicists of tomorrow lorys Fuge, Dorothy McKeown, Tom Stone, and John Myrter, labor indus- triously to prove that water exerts a buoyant force on solids. -I Q f FACULTY A new member of the faculty is good-looking Mr. Jack Rafferty who drew the Snake Pit as a homeroom. Some of the iun- iors find his plane geometry and general physics classes the high point of their day. Under his direction the Junior Class presented a successful play. Mr. Charles Curry teaches math with earnestness and deter- mination. His ability to teach the fundamentals exceptionally well helps many students to think clearly and accurately. He will be remembered by many as a good confidant. Mrs. Ella Briggs, teacher of Algebra I and II, knows her books from cover to cover. She is always willing and cooperative when asked for help on her subiect. Her work as Tri-Hi-Y advisor makes her a favorite of her girls . A. Miller, M. Ed. C. Bordas, M. Ed. .l. Rafferty, B.5.

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.
