.lCHS'ERS TAKE MANY STEPS TO DISCOVER Which wheels are turning in the heads of these juniors? Scientific experimentation is the basis for learning in a laboratory science. All Americans are affected directly or indirectly by the birth of the Space Age. We are now living in a world unheard of 40 years ago. How many people could visualize the rockets and cars that are second nature to us? Many of the famous scientists and mathematicians had their beginnings in little red school houses. A1- though we no longer attend little red school houses, many students are receiving instruction which may make future inventors or great scientists of them. The new math room equipment installed last sum- r mer is the pride and joy of Mr. Henricks. i201

HIGH IDEALS AND NE W IDEAS Although most students know some foreign phrases, the student who has completed two years of a foreign language has mastered many more new and strange expressions. Frenchl and Spanish Il were added to the Cur- riculum this year. Latin was again a popular subject with over forty students learning about ancient civil- izatrons. Although many of the students who attempted to master these trying languages will not use their speak- ing knowledge to a great extent, they have learned much about the cultures of these countries. Junior Lee Ann Coy models an example of ancient Roman dress, as worn by all members to the Latin Banquet. Mrs. Davis checks on some French grammar as students present their work. Pam Spidel and Laurel Chandler point out scenic spots on some Spanish travel posters.

Mr. Keesleing's patience never ends in his teaching Linda Faulstich and other biology students become of algebra . experts of the microscope. SECRETS OF MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE What's cooking, Laurel? Laurel Chandler experiments with heated sulfur. A four-year mathematics course starts with begin- ning algebra and advances to geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry with emphasis on practical mathematics. Knowledge of space will come through efficiency in mathematics. The teaching of mathe- matics is simplified by the addition of the new mathe- matics room, the only one of its kind in Hamilton County. Science courses vary from physical science, bio- logy, and advanced biology to chemistry and physics taught in the well-equipped biology and chemistry laboratories. Intelligence in physics, physical sci- ence, and chemistry will help to produce a rocket ship and get it into space, but knowing biology and advanced biology will be necessary for life in space. The proper teaching ofscience and mathematics will create the success or failure of our Jackson Township community in the Space Age. E211
