if great challenge to students Figuring bio-chemical equations seems to be fairlysimple forTim Elmlinger. 67 Computers raced on spilling numbers while math students were still puzzled in the solution of postulates, theorems, and equations. A general math education was the goal of many students. The basic courses at high school level were taught by Mr. Lozier, and classes in Business Arithmetic were taught by Mr. Long. To prepare the student for an academic career, Mrs. Robertson taught Algebra, and Mr. Jones taught Geometry. For those who had finished three years of Algebra and Geometry, Mr. Hilton introduced pre-calculus to his advanced class. Mrs. Robertson, head of the math department, an- nounced that plans were in the making for a course in Shop Math. High school sciences are lust the beginning, but Mr. Kizer, Miss Gillis, and Mr. Bevington tried new develop- ments in Chemistry, Biology, Physical Science, and Physics so that science students would be able to meet the challenge ofthe modern world.

tressed Through speeches, languages, and skits Freshman English students Rita Mason, Dennis Risk, Sandy Harris, and Emily Moore help put on the Shakespearean play Romeo and Juliet. Breaking the ice in Speech class was a hard task. Shaky legs, white knuckles, and slurring words were the ususal results of the first speech. Later, the presentation of skits and short speeches was made by cool, calm, and collected students. Entertainment and aid in teaching classes came from Patsie Ronk's dra- matics class. Students often pitched in with play cuttings, narrations, and speeches to help teachers show their younger students the finer points of the English language. It was difficult enough to master the techniques of the English language, but a number of students took on the added responsibility of learning a new and quite different language. ln our age of advanced education, many colleges require one or more years of a foreign language. To meet these needs, the high school's curriculum of- fered French, Latin, and Spanish. Demonstrations by Judy Winters and Sue Hamil- ton help earn their Speech grades.
