athematics Maintains To increase knowledge, speed and skill were the main objectives of the mathematics courses taken by students in senior high school. The courses taken were necessary for the success in scholarship, intelli- gence, college entrance and other aptitude tests which require quantitative thinking. Sophomores found themselves adding to their apti- tude in algebra in which letters and other signs are used as well as numbers to solve problems. Many also found themselves in a plane geometry class where they acquired reasoning ability, factual knowledge and an inter-related pattern of thought. Juniors wishing to continue their mathematical ability and prepare for future courses took advanced algebra, a continuation of elementary algebra. Senior arithmetic, a general review of mathematics, involved computing income tax through the practical application of mathematics. Many seniors contemplat- ing a college education in science and engineering advanced to trigonometry and analytical geometry. ur od ern World Marvin Glesnc Advanced Algebra Senior Arithmetic Audio-Visual Elaine Nelson Advanced Algebra Byron Spear Analytical Geometry Geometry Trigonometry National Honor Society Maurice Thompson Geometry X Advanced Algebra PLL MEASURE THE SHADOWX' said Judi Engbritson as Morris Evenson measured the tree to check for accuracy.

The need for additional equipment and rooms has been emphasized by the need for scientific knowledge in today's World of satellites and atomic power. Most sophomores took biology, a study of plant and animal life. Filled with stuffed animals, aquariums, skeletons, plants and detailed charts, the biology rooms proved a fascinating place to even the novice. Chemistry students observed chemical reactions through laboratory experiments. Records of their ob- servations were recorded in lab manuals which were made to serve as a guide for future studying. Demonstrations pertaining to various units were performed in physics so as to know the subject better. Physics students studied matter, motion and energy. General physics laws pertaining to the study of matter and energy, sound, light, machines and electricity were studied and learned during the year. SHOWING APPREHENSION, sophomore Mary Neibuhr watch- ed a classmate, Bill Russell, as he dissected a frog in biology. HOW DOES THIS OPERATET' asked Lynda Bell as Bob Joynt prepared to demonstrate and give an explanation of the tesla coil, part of his classwork in physics. Page 20

Fine Arts Provide Endeavouring to bring culture to the students were the fine arts and music departments. Diligently working to please the audiences of the chorus concerts, the art classes were responsible for the stage setting while choruses provided enjoyment. The band spent many evenings at football and basketball games to bring entertainment to the enthu- siastic crowds and lead them in the singing of our school songs. They also presented lively programs for the public and the student body. This year, the orchestra was under the direction of a new conductor, Mr. Winton lVlelby. The organization presented programs for the public and assisted the choruses in the annual vocal Christmas concert. Fifty outstanding voices were selected from the A Chorus to form the Madrigal singers. They made more than 15 appearances before church and civic organ- izations during the Christmas season. Rochester was the site of the annual Big Nine Music Festival. This event climaxed the hard work of all chorus, orchestra and band members.
