Methods to AHS The science department has progressed with the “scien¬ tific era” with its modern teaching methods and facilities. Each science teacher has kept up with the “era” through recent summer sessions and experimental courses. The chem¬ istry and biology departments have obtained additional equip¬ ment essential for more student experimentation to find the answers. The physics department has both a combined course of trigonometry and physics and a separate physics class. Investigating the reactioning volumes of two solutions of known concentrations, are Gary Ramsey and Gary Olsen, chem¬ istry students. Grinning banefully at Jenny Johnson and Jick Pilgreen, is the biology department ' s skeleton, Bonella. 1 8 School Day

AHS Adds Calculus To Curriculum Although there are many varied opinions on teaching the new mathematics at the junior high level, the con¬ sensus of opinion at Astoria High is that, this innovation better prepares the high school students for the more advanced mathematics which is being demanded in this scientific age. The only objection to the program is the problem of an ever-changing nomenclature. Because of this current emphasis on mathematical training, AHS of fers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, the latter being added to the curriculum for the first time this year. Mr. illiam Reuter teaches advanced alge¬ bra. geometry, and sen¬ ior review. He is ad iser ol Mu Alpha Theta and the National Honor So¬ ciety. Mr. Robert Scott, who (according to the grape vine) wears a suit only on payday, teaches ad¬ vanced algebra, trigo¬ nometry. and physics. He i- senior class ad¬ viser. Mr. Reuter explains a problem in advanced algebra to Brian Olsvik. Steve Palmrose, and Jim Mullins. School Day 19
