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.

Thomas Inman Raymond Nicolay Trigonometry Geometry B.A., M.A. B,S., M.AI Arthur Hawk Bruce Barton Algebra Geometry B.S., M.A. B-S., M-S Math Courses Developed Useful Thought Processes Math courses at North tried to meet the needs of all students. 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.

Lab partners, John Gardner and Sherry Lavetter, examined the results of an experiment. Preparing to begin experiments were Galen Up dike and Sharon Valdivia. Mr. Thomas showed his chemistry class how to balance an empirical formula. f 2 mx. Howard Mater and Bill Romley experimented with burning potassium. Susan Yee sketched protozoa as seen under the mic- roscope.
