The geometry class finds their teacher, Mr. Kriese, amusing yet de- was left from a previous class, and judging from appearances, it's manding as they try to solve a proposition. The work on the board certainly not trig. Math isn't always plugging numbers into equations. it's interesting and fun. Here, Nikki Hamilton learns how to use a slide rule. Math student, Tim Wand, explains that two twelve-inch rulers say 2 plus 7 equals 9, but a slide rule, matching figures in the same way, says 2 times 7equals 74. Practice makes perfect, Nikki takes the helm. 27

Math takes students from nuttin' to sum-tin' Adding machines in math? Yes, its definitely true, says Mr. Stoeckinger, head of the Mathe- matics Department. This conver- sation refers to the Practical Arith- metic class. Using a teacher, an aide, and the machines is an entirely new concept aimed toward students with acute problems in math. Another class that starts many a befuddled student on the highway of successful thinking is the two- 23. period algebra class, designed to . 'K ' start wheels turning.

Physical science offers hair-raising year The sounds of bunsen burners, a teacher lecturing, and students laughing can be heard through the Old Shop Building as physical science classes undertake experi- ments. This year introduced a feel- ing of newness in many students, for the laboratories have been up- dated. Often a class will march down to the film room, or wine celIar as it is affectionately called, to see a movie about their class' current study. In effect, however, most students prefer the lab work rather than lectures and movies, even though in lab they must wear goggles, to protect their eyes. Physical Science Department-FRONT ROW: lanice Cooper, Louis Allen, W. j. Graney, Mrs. Pauline Caldwell, james De Clue, David Beeson. SECOND ROW: Richard Dyke- man, Leo Deming, Mrs. Edna Stewart, William Trozer, Steven Smith. THIRD ROW: Hadley Haworth, Ralph Wolverton, james May, Bruce Turney, lohn Kern. Physics involves more than experimentation. Roy Lowhorn and Tom Hickey write notes after concentration. r .WAV ludging from their engrossed expressions, loyce Washington, Regina Pope, and Linda Quackenbush find chemistry absorbing.
