General math was a review of all arithmetic operations. Algebra, geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, and calculus were also offered for students who wanted a knowledge of more specialized fields of math. To develop thought processes in students was the basic aim in the higher math courses. Students were given basic theorems and then were required to apply them to different problems to obtain cor- rect solutions. Using good form was important in the math classes. Students' grades were determined from tests, quizzes, and daily homework assign- ments. Mr. Anderson gave his algebra students class time to prepare assignments.

Laboratory sciences included biology, chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry. lnstructors utilized laboratory facilities and students did lab work to supplement study from texts. A course in agricul- ture was also offered for interested students. lndividual students with the ability, interest, and time were encouraged to do research projects for state and national competition. Biology students studied plants during first semester. Penny Davis, Lynda Jacobsen, and Jacque Schepper measured and recorded plant growth for a Biology experiment. Steve Gonzalas observed a cross section of a leaf in a microscope as Sue Rutger completed her drawing of the leaf.
