To the inquiring mind, problems Members of the senior math class and Mr. Frederick discuss the properties of geometric solids. The advanced algebra class learns some of the prin ciples of higher mathematics. Beth Atkinson, Teresa Ganshorn, and LaMar Berger construct geometric shapes on the chalk board. Advanced math, a senior course, attracts only those whose vocations or talents lie in mathematics. This course covers many areas such as modern algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. The stu- dents in this course are sure to find it interesting and challenging. Advanced algebra appeals mainly to the juniors. This course consists some- what of a review of basic algebra and also probes deeper and more extensively into the fields of algebra, making it a worth-while course. Geometry, recommended as a sopho- more course is an interesting and worth-while phase of mathematics. Dealing only with plane geometry, this subject gives one a sound comprehension of its importance in many vocations. MUTSCHLER BROS. CO. Institutional Storage Components 18

Students to converse and write. Latin, a necessity for vocations in medicine and science, is offered for two years. Many English words originate from the Latin language, making it a beneficial course of study. The Latin classes annually hold a Roman Banquet. The guests come attired in Roman dress, and enjoy a strictly Roman menu. Both the meal and the after dinner entertainment are fur- nished by the students of the Latin classes. Spanish I was offered this year for the first time in several years at N.H.S. Pronunciation of Spanish words, translation into English, and Spanish grammar were stressed. The customs and the history of Spanish-speaking countries were studied. With the aid of maps, important cities and countries were located. Because the Spanish language has influenced the English language, it is an important course. Judy Stoops, Phil Hahn, and Carolyn Thompson do a bit of translating in first year Latin. Second year Latin students find a knowledge of Barbara Senff speaks Spanish for students who listen vocabulary helpful in translating Caesar's campaigns. for mistakes in pronunciation.

in math and science are welcome. Cinda Schori, Ted Martindale, and Ron Plctcher test the principles of the lever. Dave McGrew, Paul Lundal, and Dean Orn conduct an experiment on the ripple tank. At Nappanee High School at least one year of science is required for gradua- tion. This past year physics, which is alternated annually with chemistry, and physical science were offered. Physical science is primarily for stu- dents who desire to take a general course in science. Students in this class are introduced to the basic principles of physics, astronomy, electricity, and chemistry. Physics is studied in either the junior or senior year. Students, in addition to daily assignments and extensive laboratory work, are required to hand in one written book report on a phase of science which interests them. Each pupil is also encouraged to enter the Nappanee science fair. Health, also a required course, places emphasis upon a study of body functions and mental hygiene. Fresh- men and sophomores are generally enrolled in this class. Mr. Nelson and the health class examine the viscera of Mr. Plastic. MUTSCHLER BROS. CO. Custom Hardwood Kitchens
