t0l'n Hldd efrf Since 1945, the beginning ot the atomic era, the study of nuclear and other branches of science have become as necessary to a per- son's well being as the Three Rs We are then very fortunate to have extensive scientific courses here at Lindsay High, Mr. Bridges and Mr' Crooks have taught us the laws and pro- perties of nature. Why is the principal ques- tion in science and these two men have an- swered this query many times on many sub- jects. What is matter? Why does iron rust? What is the meaning of chemical formulae such as H2SO4 or C'0H'2O4? These are a few of the many explained, Topi Davzd, Andnia, Richard, and Ion set up their apparatus while experimenting for chlor- ine gas in chemistry. Center: Carol, Buck, and Iosie learn the functions ot the ocsili- scope and the various patterns they are able to generate during physics Bottomg Future biologists Wilmanita, Harold, Lynette, Flon, and Gary peep through the rnicroscopes at znteresting cells

gndfeind of fhe jufure :IHC In our mathematics classes, algebra, plane geometry, advanced algebra, trigonornetry, and solid geometry, we learned to develop the processes of logic and reason that will enable us to cope comprehensively with the problems that will face us in the vocational position we will occupy in our adult life. For some ot us that will continue our educa- tion in the sciences and engineering, the solid foundation We have had in high school mathe- matics will enable us to supply the United States with the technical know-how that has in the past made her a great and strong mili- tary and industrial power. Top: Members ot Mr. Crooks' ninth grade math class learn the fundamentals of general and everyday mathematics. Center: lack and Buck call on their imag- ination to see the effects ot a three dimensional draw- ing of perpendicular and parallel lines on a plane in Mr. Hanigan's class. Bottom: The first year algebra students worked equations. 1 if 1

Our .yerifage The effective use of the English lan- guage is a skill the English department at Ll-LS. strives continually to impart to all students whether in a freshman students painfully composed class as- signment or in a rhetoric speech given by a junior, hopeful of a Lion's Club prize. Under the direction of Miss Hostetter, Mrs, Ketelsen, Mr, Dawe, and Miss Miller, even the least interested ac- quired a nodding acquaintance with the parts of speech. Skills were prac- ticed by writing speeches, essays, poems, and book reports along with working on the Echoing L, the campus newspaper, Classes studied the works of great writers in reading classics of English literature and American writers were never overlooked. Lower left. Franklin, Linda, and Margaret chatted with Mrs. Ketelsen during junior Eng- lish. Right: Miss Miller marked report cards while her freshman English class studied in- dustriously. Top Miss Hostetter kept tabs on her junior English class as they prepared their lessons
