Math and Science Pla An Important New at BHS this year is Mr. Redfern. Before coming to BHS he taught at Ritenour High School. Mr. Red- fern graduated from the University of Arkansas where he majored in forestry and minored in math. Algebra II, plane geometry, and business arithmetic are the classes taught by Mr. Redfern. Mr. Wicks, a graduate of Southeast Missouri State College, is now in his fifth year at BHS. He has his BS in science and education. During past summers Mr. Wicks has worked on his master's degree at the University of Missouri. At present he is half finished. Mr. Wicks teaches math eight, plane geometry, and general math. Mr. Kuss is in his third year at BHS. He graduated from Southeast Missouri State College with a BS in education. His fields are industrial arts, math, and science. He is working on his master's degree at Arizona State Uni- versity. Mr. Kuss teaches algebra I, plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. Mr. Wicks shows his geometry class how to prove two angles of a tri- angle equal. Row one, left to right: Richard Consentino, Malcolm Dal- rymple, Don Whitlock, and Margaret Fischer. Row two: Don White, Jerry Stimson, and Kent Henkel. Row three: Sharon Becker, Bob Russell, and Walter Jarrett. Standing: Mr. Wicks.

And Academic Spirit Pointing out different species of fish in the acquarium and describing their characteristics is MR. WRAY DARR. In-addition to classes in chemistry and biology, he is kept busy as a sponsor of the Senior Class and the Senior Science Club. w Giving a lecture in chemistry is MR. CHARLES DUGGAN, chemistry and seventh grade science teacher. Mr. Duggan, in his sixth year at BHS, is a co-sponsor of the junior High Science Club. Solving an intricate math problem with the aid of a slide rule is MR. JACK SADLER, physics and general science teacher. In addition to instructing classes in the physical laws of nature, he is often seen photographing plays, sports events, dances, and many other activities. I In this age of space satelites and nuclear weapons, science plays an increasingly important part in the curriculum at BHS. Through science students get a foundation in under- standing the natural world, and in preparing themselves for college, vocations, and other phases of life. Throughout this year BHS has experienced a widely expanded sci- ence program. More students than ever before were enrolled in scien- tific courses. To keep pace with these increases, a new biology room was added to the rapidly expanding facilities. Three teachers, MR. 'WRAY DARR, MR. CHARLES DUGGAN, and MR. JACK SADLER are among the faculty members responsible for promoting academic spirit through science. Interested science stu- dents d e v o t e many hours after school learn- ing more about subjects of their particular in- terest. Here a group of students, instructed by Mr. Dart, examine the skeleton of a Sawnose Shark. Students are, left to right, Sandy Kurre, San- dy Adams, john Collo- di, Owen Brookman, Stephani Stoyanoff, Jim Caplan, Frank Lorsbach, Vicki Bothman, Kathy Carter, and Annette Sie- gel. 21

Role In BHS Students 9 Future L Mr. Ellinghouse is pleased as a stu- dent gives a correct answer to a problem. Today math and science are becoming more and more important. In this mechanical world they are indispensable factors in its progress. Math and science occupy an important place in a high school student's course of study. After high school both will be needed more and more to meet not only problems in industry and in the business world but also to meet the daily needs of everyone. BHS is proud of its math and science programs which cover a large area of study. Three teachers interested in the progress of math and science at BHS are Mr. Kenneth Beers, who teaches math 7, Mr. Gene Ellinghouse, who instructs algebra I and math 7 and 8, and Mr. Kenneth Morris, who teaches science 7 and 8 and general math. Working hard planning his math and science program is Mr. Morris. Mr. Beers pauses while re- cording test scores of his sev- enth grade math students. Students of eighth grade math listening intently to their teacher, Mr. Elling- house, are Bob Cooksey, Bill Notbohn, Marilyn Frankey, Ruth Kemp, Marilyn Hol- mann, Pat Matheny, Pat Har- rigan, jim Allen, Fred Bon- durant, Don Thompson, jim Smith, Bob Kuntz, jim Hop- kins, Butch I u s t , Randy Swinney, and Bill Ernest.
