Gases to Microbes Probe Young Scientists Many physical changes took place in the science department as new teach- ers and classes were offered. Mr. Gor- dan Kerkhoff was reactivated to his chemistry post while the physics class, which diminished to an all time low of eight members, was instructed by Mr. Robert Dailey. A class in Earth Sciences was also given for the first year by Mr. Sterrett Nash for those in the freshman- sophomore grades. Aided by new charts and laboratory equipment, teaching became much easier.

Journey to the Surface of the Distant Moon History has repeated itself again and again, but 1969-70 contrasted a change from what was.

Inside classes, teachers assigned group discussions so students could ex- press their own ideas that weren't the once exclusive, accepted answer. Guided by their instructors, they inde- pendently solved and thought as the chances of history repeating itself again were lessened. 25 Clubs
