Diclt Graham and Arnold Jensen seem to approve of the way Jane Gorder is measuring water for a chemistry experiment. Anyway they will have to admit measuring water is simpler than figuring out the meaning of HIOAg. a -ab 2ab-fb equals . . . explains Jan Ashby to the students in advanced algebra. WE LEARN ... so that The field of science and mathematics lies before us like thousands of unopened doors .•. . biology and geometry are the first steps in exploring what lies beyond. For AHS scientists, biology opens the door to man s origin and evolution and to the world of plants and animals. To the AHS chemist and physicist, the recent developments in atomic and nuclear energy give new meaning to complex chemical .formulas and physics problems. In chemistry, too, the use of modern technical equipment aids students in solving difficult problems in the lab. General math, algebra, and plane geometry introduce AHS mathematicians to the problems facing a person interested in this field. Advanced courses in algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry use this experience to develop a more exact knowledge of modern mathematics and its applications. 8

If he could just stop eating a moment, Paul Nelson would be sure to say he thinks Roso Lee Cornette's cookies are tops. WE LABOR ... to acquire skills for tomorrow's job Students taking the practical courses offered at AHS find themselves . . . gaining skills for future employment. AHS boys become Jacks-of-all-trades in the industrial arts classes. In both shop and drafting courses, they discover natural abilities along their respective lines, and, with a sense of accomplishment, develop them. The commercial department develops practical skills which are usable on the job and in everyday life. From our curriculum, students may choose Typing I, Typing II, Shorthand I, Shorthand II or Bookkeeping I, according to their need. Students taking home economics are given a better chance to prepare themselves as future homemakers. Courses ranging from cooking and sewing to child care are offered. Vocational Agriculture, with its intra-curricular activity, the Future Farmers of America, is another one of the courses offered in practical skills at AHS. Vocational Agriculture has four phases: agriculture science, shop, F.F.A. and supervised farming 10 program.
