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.

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. Mr. Richard Harvey and Brian Young, sr.. discuss analysis.

Course gains a new teacher Driver’s Education was not operated under the school system. The state op- erated the program. The in- structors received their instructions from the state and proceeded from there. According to Mr. Ray- mond Brown, department chairman, the course was very popular among the stu- dents. This was the fourth year the students had the driving range. They were required to have a certain amount of hours on the range, on the road and in the classroom. The courses were taught under the direction of Mr. Raymond Brown, Mr. Roger Blackwell, and Mr. Donel Taylor. Mr. Donel Taylor and Mr. Roger Blackwell inspect one of the driver's ed cars.
