Senior high school mathematics was taught by Mr. H. Y. Brubaker and Mr. john Costen- bader. Mr. Brubaker's classes studied under the traditional method, while Mr. Costenbader's stu- dents specialized in the S.M.S.G. method. Under Mr. Brubaker, tenth grade classes studied Algebra ll, eleventh grade classes worked with plane and solid geometry, and twelfth grade students at- tended a supplementary review math course. Mr. Costenbader's ninth grade pupils began geometry in the ninth grade. ln tenth grade they studied intermediate math, and in eleventh grade, ad- vanced mathematics. Seniors in the advanced course delved into analytical geometry and calculus. junior high school mathematics classes were under the instruction of Mr. Clarence Weik and Miss Thelma Brunner. Miss Brunner's seventh and eighth grade' classes followed the School Mathematics Study Group program very closely in the revised math course. Mr. Weik's eighth grade classes probed Concentrated Algebra I and his ninth grade pupils pursued the Science Re- search Association plan of programmed Alf gebra I. The mathematics program has undergone a significant change which in the past year has be- gun to affect all mathematics classes from sev- enth to twelfth grade. Mathematics made easy with Miss Brunner. Academics Westward ho! with Mr. Costenbader. Mr. Brubaker shows students the way.

This year senior science classes, taught by Mr. Clarence Weik, studied through the Science Research Associates program in which they learned practical application of science in the home and in civil defense family sur- vival, lnstructed by Mr. Charles Bell, chem- istry students combined the traditional and modern approaches to science with major em- phasis on bonding structure. Mr. Bell's physics pupils concentrated on problem analysis while studying the various forms of energy. General biology students, under Mr. jesse Sheetz, gained knowledge of functions of plant and animal organisms and the principles of life activities. Mr. Ronald Dunkelberger taught his general biology pupils the tra- ditional approach to the study of plant and animal kingdoms. For advanced biology class- es, Mr. Sheetz used the Biological Science Curriculum Study emphasizing evolutionary concepts through investigation. Mr. Dunkel- berger's advanced biology pupils alternated botany with zoology study supplemented by field trips and individual research. ln earth and space science for eighth grade, Mr. Har- ry lvlanderbach divided his course into geology, meteorology, and astronomy sec- tions. Mr. Manderbach's seventh grade gen- eral science classes studied organic and inor- ganic compounds, elements, and electricity. Mr. Dunkelberger taught a ninth grade ex- ploratory science course in which the fresh- men received introductions to biology, physics, and chemistry. Academics Mr. Bell and G. Stevens plan a party. A. Andre and Mr. Diinkelberger examine a dissected fish under the microscope.
