Little blue computer cards with holes punched out could be seen floating around Mr. Daniel's fourth period Computer Math class at the beginning of the second quarter. The school district leased an IBM Keypunch machine for Carroll and a similar model for King, to save time for the students when using the computers downtown. Computer saves time for studen ts No meetings of the Calculus Club were held, as usual, but the annual Christmas and spring parties were held, as usual. And, also as usual, the club had no members, but a full slate of officers, students who had nine quarters of college prep math courses. A new geometry and algebra teacher, Miss lean Willard, captured the attention of both her students and passers-by when she wore a pair of upside-down glasses frames for two weeks while her contacts were being repaired. Members of Mu Alpha Theta, the math honor society, traveled to Austin February 6-7 to attend a state convention at the newly built, ultra-modern Stephen F. Austin High School. Steve Genoway placed third in advanced math problems after four runoffs. The entire group put their heads together to win second place in the riddle contest and the much coveted plate of peanut brittle that went with it. Members also entered contests in geometry, advanced algebra, slide rule, numbers sense and the state math contest, a combination of all the categories. 90 - Academics Checking the master schedule against senior Cindy Startzell 's course code, Mrs. Mary Anne Gibson prepares to sign Cindy up for her second period geometry class. 3 ' JK: f Mi I In -. gag:-rs rifbrl' 'i I D K V may ' Ba

As the Southwest Researcher I pulls into shore, Bob Case and Bob Reed explain Work on a research vessel to Marine Science students. Science students always on the go Science students traveled far and near, with the Marine Biology students by far the most active. They took at least one field trip each six weeks. Several classes visited the Gladys Porter Zoo, in Brownsville, where they viewed the endangered species exhibits, a specialty of the zoo. The Marine Biology students went seining, dragging a fine net through water to collect little critters, at the Naval Air Station. They went on a boat trip to make a baseline study and visited Central Power and Light's Barney Davis Power Plant, where they heard what the plant was doing to prevent pollution. The Marine Biology students were able to help Southwest Research Institute in research on the free swimming organisms in Corpus Christi Bay by collecting samples. They were also responsible for getting 500 gallons of salt water up to their second story class, where they harbored such creatures as puffer fish and crabs in Koepke's Seaworldf' Science students were not the only people on the go. Six visiting teachers from Brazil's Escola Americana Do Rio De Ianiero visited Corpus Christi schools to keep up to date on the schools in the United States. The Brazilian educators looked in on science classes to observe class procedures and talk with students. Mr. Iames Roe, a new science teacher, devised a new method, called a Roe-lattus, for use by his physical science students to learn how many electrons are on each layer of an atom. 92 Academics M I
