Math Electronic Calculators Give Class Added Depth Math students had the opportunity to use electric cal- culators forthe first time. These calculators gave depth to math classes, providing the student with more time for math study. Two math classes were added to the preceding math program to enlarge it to a total of seven courses. The added classes were Math 10 C and Math 11 B. The 10 C course was an algebra refresher class offered to sopho- mores only. Math 11 B taught modern algebra and trigonometry. The reason for such a broad selection of math courses available was to provide each student with all his math needs. The Math 12 class was for students planningto go to college and major in field requiring an extensive math background. The Math 11 B course was for college- bound students that did not need an extensive back- ground in math for their particular majors. lVlr. Byron Spear, head of the math department, was elected the president of South Eastern Minnesota Coun- cil of Teachers of Mathematics, covering areas from kin- dergarten to college. 16 - Academics re- MATHEMATIC CALCULATORS are utilized by stu- dents to determine quadratic formulas. ll! f 2' 1 J 5 vt - i

SLINKYS ARE USED in a physics experiment in order to determine the way in which light travels. .msg tcgfzsa rwissiiu sm, I A 0, ., ,mmf 'mm Science Revised Materials Aid Science Class essons Basic curriculum changed in the sciences this year. The main difference in chemistry was the revised set of materials. Electric balances were also added to aid the students in their work. Large lecture rooms aided the regular and advanced biology classes in completing their lessons. Closed cir- cuit tv was in future planning. Regular biology was main- ly an introductory course to life sciences, and included films and laboratory exercises. Advanced biology dif- fered in that people taking this course planned on ca- reers in related fields of biology. Each student carried out an extensive research project, which he or she re- ported on at the end of the year. Laboratory work was more detailed. A high frequency UHF machine, used to measure wave lengths, was added to the physics department. Each semester was devoted to different aspects of atomics, mechanics, and frequencies. 2-1 MARVIN GLESNE - Chemistry. OLIVE NELSON - Biology.
