Advanced math and Algebra I teacher Mr. Leonard Hainley, department faculty. Their courses offered opportunities for geometry teacher Mr. Bob Dunn and Algebra II and eighth even the most advanced students, grade math teacher Mr. Don Graham comprised the math Frogs, Mustard Gas, Fun Carts Build Analytical Brains Many new ideas and techniques were tried in the math classes this year. Algebra II students inaugurated new grading systems and the geometry students gave reports on subjects pertaining to math. The younger classes experienced new difficulties as they advanced in their studies. New faculty members in the math department were Mr. Leonard Hainley teaching general math, Algebra II and advanced math and Librarian Mr. Robert Dunn adding to his duties the teaching of geometry. Junior high students take Iowa Basic Skills Test to find their general knowledge in math as well as other subjects. Park Junior-Senior High students rank high nationally in math. Physics student Jeff Rogers uses his mechanical prowess to assemble a cart to study acceleration. 18 Anderson's Wonder View Motel Cottages Hart's Bulfeteria Tagg Laundromat John Jones Realtor

Varied classes provide a wide range of experiences for the student. Practice with the industrial arts machinery gives Mike McAfee skills he may use in his future vocation. Jonlyn VerStraeten, posing for a junior high art class, has found her own study in art a happy outlet for creative expression. Proven methods of read, lecture and write are'retained in some classes such as American literature. Other students such as Ray Parker found experiences in the theory and practice of chemistry one way of grasping scientific knowledge as he worked in the lab. In all departments learning was the primary objective, but learning which was by participation, with action.

Science Let’s try it proved passwords for science students this year as they undertook the challenge of classroom and lab work. Comments of Hey, it really worked! were heard even as chemists shattered glass slides and bent test tubes. Though experiments with the physics cart resulted in a few accidents those participating gained an important concept of momentum. Biology classes delved into the subjects of abortion, drugs and mercy killing with mock student trials. Dissection and book work balanced their study. Traveling to study a glacier in nearby Rocky Mountain National Park and becoming familiar with different specimens of rock showed earth science students the importance of the land around us. Curious biology students investigate the anatomy of a frog as they learn the intricate skill of dissection, one of many areas examined by sophomore science enthusiasts. Student chemists Peg Evans and Terri Kessinger check the conclusions of an experiment while Ray Parker and Paul Hurd replace chemicals and clean equipment.
