New fields explored In an academic year which saw the rendezvous of Gemini space capsules far above the earth and American Nobel prize recipients, Anderson science and mathematics educators continued to emphasize preparing a new generation for the medical and engineering professions. Studying advanced biology, physiology and Zoology as well as physics and chemistry, student scientists used practical proof of problems in the classroom, dissections and laboratory experiments, supplemented by field trips to gain technical background. The adoption of new math and corresponding textbooks was indicative of the pursuits of an inquisitive generation as students theoretically plotted their ways from around garden pathways to the moon in courses that varied from algebra to advanced math. With the initiation of new math, students examined difficult theorems. 26

Culture key to discovery Realizing that a complete appreciation of the arts can lead to a greater aesthetic and academic understanding, Anderson High School offered its students diverse courses which stimulated their interests in music, art and the history of global cultures. Many students chose to participate in drama classes and stage productions while others discovered and delved into the many worlds of classical and modern literature made available to them in the 11,000 volume high school library. Music and art history and appreciation courses sup- plemented by musical participation classes allowed young minds an opportunity to appreciate their sur- rounding world. Study brings cultural insight to a boy and girl.
