STEVE LEHMAN and Larry Johnson explain a drawing to the class. MISS BEAVERS observes as the freshman algebra class tackles an equation. Technical Training HARRIS HALBERSEN points out a technicality of the functions to Ron Meyers and Sharlene Wagley. Of the three R ' s, ’Rithmetic at A.C. con¬ sists of: general math, algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and solid geome¬ try. The freshmen were required to take math, and were given a choice between general math and algebra. The frosh that took general math studied the fundamentals of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. They also studied simplified forms of book¬ keeping, algebra, geometry, and trigono¬ metry . In algebra I, the fifty-three students learned how to solve problems with practical appli¬ cations . The twenty sophomores in plane geometry dealt with problems of figures on a level plane. The trig class studied the functions of the right triangle. The latter part of the year, they studied solid geometry. 15

ELIZABETH SAPP, John Steffen, and Jim Hill examine the life-like manikin for their biology studies. With the addition of a new course. Central ' s science department was busier than ever. Hie freshman biology classes, under the direction of Mr. Green and Mr. Watson, collected insects and leaves at the beginning of the year. Later on, they studied root growth and root structures, and dissected frogs and crayfish. This year, for the first time, both physics and chemistry were offered. Under Mr. Allspaw, the juniors in the chem class learned many things, the most important of which was the proper procedure for chemical analysis. In the physics class, Mr. Allspaw taught the seniors the resolu¬ tion of forces, stresses and strains, and other items with technical applications. Math and Science Give SAUNDRA MATTAX, Mark Frauhiger, Steve Sch- lickman, and Karen Rich perform the distillation of water. MR. ALLSPAW watches closely as Bill McMillen, Dick Habegger, and Bob Heyerly find the specific gravity of a floating object. 14

THE STUDENTS in Mr. Shoup ' s English class lend themselves to their books to seek answers for those never-ending daily assignments. Languages Are Learned Sentence structure, speeches, outlines, term papers - - - these were just some of the obstacles encountered by the students as Mrs. Stucky, Miss Beavers, Mr. Shoup, and Mr. Sprunger put the upper four grades through their paces in Rhetoric this year. In Latin I, the students enjoyed learning how to speak and translate the dead language. Latin II students probed deeper into structures and the history of this unique language, learning more of the how ' s and why ' s than they had the previous year. Both levels of study proved useful in the study of the English dialect. MRS. STUCKY, Maris Moeschberger, and Imogene Steffen re-examine their books to check their translations for accuracy. 16
