The first goal dealt with having a good college bound math program for students, whether they intended to be math majors or not. Their other goal was to prepare the students with enough knowledge for the challenges of a lifetime. These goals proved suc- cessful with the results of the Student Achievement Tests. In these tests, the math students scored ex- tremely high. Enrollment was high with- in the department, with dif- ferent math courses to suit the needs of each and every student.

Department expands I i The Science Department continued to have a steady climb in enrollment. The rooms were extremely small and the spacing was inad- equate to keep up with the new supplies needed in the department. One solution to the problem was the usage of an old home economics room. The Science Department still had time for learning and fun. A vast array of field trips were taken to interest- ing places. The Advanced Physical Science class and Chemistry classes went to collect lake samples at But- ler County Lake. Lab ses- sions were attended by all classes at Friends University and Emporia.
