The appointment of a new Science Department head, Mr. Donald King, spearheaded the many other changes in the department. Mr. King intro- duced his plans for curricular addi- tions and other developments within the department. The Biology Depart- ment also added two new teachers, Mr. Jerry Chance and Mrs. Bonnie Farley. Once again, insect nets and killing jars, binoculars, fetal pigs, and mi- croscopes filled the activity schedule of sophomore biology students. Ad- vanced courses in physiology and microbiology were again offered to upperclassmen. Probably the biggest addition to the Science Department was the new Farquhar Planetarium, which was set up for the benefit of all students. The Planetarium has several projec- tion globes which can be used inter- changeably to recreate the night sky for any place on the earth at a par- ticular time. The Planetarium helped bring physical science classes up to date with the rapidly developing field of space exploration and study.

5 Mr. Freeland illustrates a fine point in algebra. Grappling with the tasks of solv- ing simultaneous equations, inter- polating logarithms, untangling com- plex story problems, and devising valid geometric proofs, Shortridge math students again found their niche in a third floor environment. Some freshmen struggled through Algebra I and ll, while others ori- ented themselves to the basics of arithmetic in Pre-Algebra. More ad- vanced math students studied the in- triguing concepts of College Algebra, Trigonometry, Plane Geometry, and Calculus. The math teachers encouraged floundering pupils to get help through the National Honor Society which offered a tutoring program. Subject matter was presented in interesting ways to challenge the stu- dent. Overhead projectors and films were used to emphasize primary and optional ideas as well as to add inter- est and generate enthusiasm in mathematics.
