science A new face and some new ideos came to the science department this year in the person of Mr. Bill Woodhams, physics instructor. Mr. Woodhams broke the usual routine in his classes and added a new program that could be called physics for fun. Miss Dorothy Green also had some interesting and exciting reports and trips in her biology classes. Bob Pohly presented a report on a 6,000 year old human fossil which was found on his family's farm in Oklahoma. A field trip to Moraine Park highlighted Mrs Ruth Gay s earth science classes The students were able to study lond formations and observe the scenery on this occasion.

Mr. William Mr. Bill Woodhams Pershern 6 mathematics Competition in today's world is tough unless a strong educational background is obtained. One of the prime elements is a contemporary mathematics department. Mr. William Woodhams and Mr. William Pershern were the straw bosses of the two algebra I classes which started the students on their way to the higher levels of math. In the course of teaching, however, Mr Pershern had a few stiff moments and once had quite a start; Ron Renner, hair bleoched, walked into class and Mr. Pershern did not recognize him. Mr Woodhams hod a tense moment when Ed Hummer tangled with the slinky and the advanced math students, led primarily by Suzi Thompson, spent the whole class period straightening it out. Students in geometry studied the shapes of figures . . . figures on plane surfaces that is! They also got a big kick out of trying to do problems dealing with whiskers.

journalism Under the leodership of Dove Spurgeon (top), mountaineer editor, and John Guse (bottom), whispering pine editor, the school paper and annual were published for the students of E.P.H.S. In addition to jobs on the staffs, the class showed qualities of journalism through fiery editorials, keeping dirt out of the humor column, hot air out of news stories and themselves out of hot water' Last minute rushes for news, rewrites, sizing headlines and proofreading were all part of the work. Eoch member of the class wrote a variety of material and did a variety of jobs. No one will forget the thrill of seeing his first story in print or the privilege of a by-line.
