,Math and Seimas challenge fudmfs to While testing for starch in seventh grade science, Harry Carr and Dwite Russell discover that iodine on crackers really does turn blue. Linda Simmons finds that this doesn't hold true for sugar. Betty Harris and Clarene Ketch perform an electrical ex- periment, risking a shock, while Pat Shannon looks on, ig- noring his weights and measures in favor of watching the girls. EFTON R. HENDERSON, Supervisor of Science, received the AB and BS degrees from SMS, the MS from Cornell University, and the PhD from New York University. He is Junior Class sponsor. Although the adjustment of the microscope presents a big problem to Johnny Wilkinson and Suzie Langston, Dr, Henderson seems to have no trouble at all in solving this problem.

krzvuflvdgc in lzvrtlzamt typ hy, and law In the Business Department, courses in Business Law and Economics fwhich alternate yearly with bookkeepingj, short- hand, beginning typewriting, and advanced typewriting were offered to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. A high percentage of Greenwoodites took advantage of be- ginning typewriting. The advanced course was composed of future secretaries or of students hoping for a business career. Shorthand interested prospective secretaries and students hop- ing to do a lot of note-taking in future college courses. Busi- ness Law and Economics students studied the workings of the every-day business world. Throughout the year the entire Business Department worked to make interested students better qualified for a business career. 1 How can we ever learn which key is which ? Sally Turner and Buddy Freeman seem to be wondering as they inspect the keys of the demonstration typewriter on their first day of class. LEOLA SPELLMAN, Supervisor of Business, had the AB degree conferred from Drury College and the MS from Oklahoma State University. She is advisor to the Annual Staff. Advanced typewriting students find that using the duplicating machine is fun! Sussie Nall and Kathy Ellis are ready to print programs, but Liz Wolfe needs Miss Spellman's help with ad- justments.

,wwe I e Way far ll 6 tier Way af We How do you extract these square roots? asks Judy Nichols. Eric White d0esn't know the answer, but he keeps smiling- maybe he has a comic book stuck between the pages of his algebra text! Shh-I'm thinking! I know cones and cylinders, triangles and squares, but what is that? Susie Sanford and Rusty Hoefgen study depth, area, and puzzling objects in Geometry. A definite emphasis has been placed on the knowledge of mathematics and science in the past few years. Most students enjoy learning facts, equa- tions, experiments, and figures. Dr. Henderson, science supervisor, has made biology, general science, chemistry, and physics vital to his students. Supervisor of the mathematics department, Dr. Bush, has helped many students with all phases of basic mathematics, algebra, and geometry. In our changing world, it is essential to keep pace with science and mathematics to meet challenges of the future. WILLIAM JACK BUSH, Supervisor of Mathe- matics, received the BS degree from Arkansas A8cM, and the PhD from Arkansas University. He sponsors Eighth Grade and Student Council.
