“Science: A Systematic Study.” Diane Curry: a true scientist. Kxperinientation and observation helped students at Washburn High School develop a logical attitude toward life. The biology classes studied living organisms and concentrated on organic experiments. This year an advanced biology course was offered. There, students experimented and explored through independent lab work. Physics students acquired the knowledge of matter and motion through discussion of standard principles. Chemistry students dealt with elementary subjects of w hich our environment is composed. Washburn chemists studied in the lab, analyzed their work, and evolved theories from their observations. The knowledge gained by the students in science classes prepared them to meet life w ith a new understanding.

Math: The World Of Precision Prove that which is true Mathematically-inclined Washburnites toiled many hours this year, puzzled by mathematical problems. The typical sophomore studied standard geometry or elementary algebra. An advanced geometry class was offered for the more mathematically talented sophomores. Standard and advanced algebra-trigonometry confronted the junior mathematicians, who struggled through such things as the maze of logarithms. Some bewildered seniors tried Senior math while others were privileged,” according to Mr. Sverdrup, to work various problems in the standard or accelerated math analysis courses. A new innovation to the math department was the presence of a computer. This year Washburn introduced many difficult but rewarding courses in the math department. The confident smile
