Greenhouse structure completion re(|uire i a combi- nation of blueprints, supplies, and knowledge for Tod Cain, Rick Shrock, and Jack Atkinson. While going through procedures of making a gar- ment, Kim Hawk is deeply involved in completing her clothing project for Home Economics cUss. Some were complicated Students in math found they could solve problems in two ways. They could create their own formulas or follow the one in the book. The easiest, of course, was following the book. There were math formulas such as cos ( B)= cos cosB sin sinB, tan = cot, and E=vh. Many classes used formulas in their work. For example, English class required the knowledge of writing a term paper, complete with footnoting and bibliogra- phies. Debits and credits equal a ledger was used by all bookkeeping students. Social Studies required the skills to make an out- line from the notes taken during lectures and reading. In almost every class there was some type of formula being used. Lab in chemistry required several for- mulas and ways to put them to use. V- was used by students to get the frequency waves. E=hv helped solve for energy. Formulas must be practiced and used if they are to be helpful, stated Teresa Brown about her chemistry experiences. Sugar, flour, and lots of concentration on recipes were used in Brewin Singles. Whether it was baking bread, cooking a meal, or just taking a test, formulas were to be followed. Sewing required cutting skills, following instructions, and using pattern formulas. Knowing what lines to pin on, where to cut, and what to sew took common knowl- edge and following the formulas it took to complete the outfit being made. Even the detailed pages of this yearbook took on this important idea. Arranging the pictures so they would fit and then scaling them with proportion instruments to fit the specified spot required a formula routine. A little extra time is required to follow the exact recipe. Mike Bryant tries to prepare the perfect dish during Brewin Singles class. Developing By Fonmilas 43

Fire polishing and burning glass comprise the lab problem Steve Strickland figures while trying to keep his distance from a roaring Bunsen burner. A little extra dough is kneaded to come up with a perfect formula for biscuits by Terry Maddox as he follows a recipe in Brewin ' Singles class.
