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

.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

ELECTION '64 KEPT STUDENTS GUESSING Seniors Candi James and Bob Henderson are shown here in a friendly political argument during the election. The election of 1964 played a big part in the gov ernment and history classes this year. The senior government classes made scrapbooks of the Election Day results and the events leading up to them. The students of JCHS held a mock election, and President Johnson and Senator Humphrey emerged victorious over Republicans Goldwater and Miller in a landslide vote as it was on the national level. After the election, the classes continued their usual studies in United State government, United States history, and world history. The inauguration of President Johnson was an- other highlight ofthe year, as many students watch- ed the event from start to finish via television. At the beginning of the second semester, sociol- ogy was added to the social studies curriculum. At the end of the year, a more informed young America steps into a new light. Mr. McGeath points out a historical site in Indiana to one of his classes. tm
