The science courses offered at CHHS cover many different phases of this subject. In Biology, required of all Sophomores, all forms of life from micro- scopic plants to the human body are studied. Chemistry students memorize many equations and the properties of the various elements in order to learn about the composition of matter. The close correlation between math and science is especially evident in Physics. Senior Science students study various aspects of physical science and lab procedures. if fu f ,539 Susan white, Tgny Maggn, Zan Ritchie, Biology students Nancy Saunders and Bunny Rogers dissect 'a frog. and Carl Anderson examine Physics ap- paratus. 21

MATHEMATICS Mr. John Colson Mrs. Dorothy Edwards Mrs Carolyn Horn Plane Geometry Algebra I Algebra II Math IV, Physics Plane Geometry F T A Photography-Electronics Club Student Council A student interested in mathematics will find variety, quantity, and quality in the various math courses offered at CHHS, First and Second year Algebra as well as Plane Geometry may be taught according to the SMSG plan or by the older method. SMSG-the School Mathematics Study Group-stresses reason rather than memorization. In additionto these fundamental courses of Alge- gra and Geometry, Math IV and Consumer Math are also offered. Math IV is a combination of a semester of Trlgo nometry and one of Solid Geometry This course IS particularly useful to college preparatory students es pecially those interested in the field of engineering Consumer Math is taken mainly by students in the commercial and general vocational fields and con centrates on the types of mathematics most useful 1n business. xgfwfr f. , I ' Mr. Colson explains a physics problem.

World History, usually taken in the Sophomore or Senior year, follows civilizations and world events from Egyptian tombs to the U.N. building. Juniors are required to take U.S. History, which parallels their study of American literature. The story of our country from exploration to the present time is the main path of study. Economics-Sociology and World Geography are offered to those interested in these particular phases of social studies.
