Science And Math Challenges Brain Power Mrs. Ruebel, Mr. Morriss, and Mrs. Moses were the instructors in the Social Science department this past year. During Mrs. Ruebels last year at HHS she busied herself with constitu- tion. It was a full class of Juniors, with some seniors having just one semester of it. One of the many things the con- stitution class did was going to the court house to observe and gain first hand experience with court proceedings. They took out a day of school to attend government day held at the Auditorium. Many local business men and people talked about city and state government. A new teacher this year is Mr. Morriss, he had a busy schedule. He had classes with all grades in the high school. In History I and II he had freshman and Sophomores. He kept the students busy just as well as they kept him busy. American Minorities and Sociology classes added a lot to the Social Science department this past year. Just one of Mrs. Moses classes was Sociology. All her classes were full and she was kept busy. UPPER LEFT: Roxanne Moysis, Mark Arendt, and Scott Peterson are hard at work on a physics project.

 Social Science Makes Way For Opportunity An important department in High- more High School is the Science and Math department which adds a lot of features in our school. Mr. Schuurmans, Mr. Moses, Mrs. Whiting, Mr. Heintz, and Mrs. Moses all worked hard in the Science and Math department. An unlucky teacher Mr. Schuurmans had two classes of sophomores in Bi- ology I. They had a different kind of year by disecting odd little animals. He had classes of General Science with the freshman. They went on a field trip during the year. Another class in his busy day was Human Physiology. Mrs. Whiting did not have a terrably busy year with classes of Algebra I, Pre Algebra a new course added this year and General Math. Mr. Heintz taught classes of Gen- eral Science, with just one class of Bi- ology I and Chemistry class did a lot of different experiments which some times always didn't turn out. Field Ecology was another one of his classes. They learned about the environment and how it effects them. A few things in Mrs. Moses re- sponsibilities is the more advanced Algebra II and Geometry.

 Language Arts Builds Communications This year Highmore High School was in the process of going back to four straight years of English. In the past students had the opportunity to select a number of semester English classes for a total of four credits. Re- quired English courses were English I, Speech, American Literature, Cre- ative Writing and Research Paper. Now English I, II, III, and IV are required. In English I freshmen learn the basics of English. They studied vo- cabulary, read an assortment of books, and diagramed sentences. English II, which is composed of sophomores, taught the students how to use the library, grammar, parliamen- tary procedure, and how to give speeches. Juniors are required to take English III. These students studied poetry, read stories and books and listen to poetry records. Seniors in English IV studies more advanced literature. They read poems and stories. Classes of English II and English III were taught by Doug Tschetter while Mildred Wollman instructed English I, Creative Writing, Research Paper and English IV. UPPER RIGHT: Mr. Tschetter eyes the photographer and makes sure that every student is kept busy on 1 his assignment as he hands out English papers. 1 LOWER RIGHT: Durwaid Ratzlaff keeps himself busy during studyhall by reading one of the many books they were to read for English III, A Seperate Peace by John Knowles. 20
