Page I 2 Smiles of satisfaction from the members of the Freshman algebra class indicate the solution is finally at hand. MATH Everyone knows that two and two are four, but when it comes to figuring square roots, equations, and trig problems, it requires a much deeper concentra- tion. Qur math department headed by Mr. l.ee Dixon, who is also head man in the science department, has taught us that math is important in our other subjects and in everyday life. The studies in Kokomo High vary from the simplest forms of math to the most complicated problems of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. We learn that the wigwams and moon-like figures drawn on the blackboard are really triangles and spheres. Although no Albert liinsteins have been produced within our walls, these mathematicians have left their classes with an increased knowledge of the subject.

Mer1tt's biology class invade the domain of the amoeba. Oh, look what I see! The members of Mr. Olin CIENCE Mr, John Myer's advanced chemistry class watches approvingly as another substance is added to the solution. Acid holes in our best pants, bugs, experi- ments, and projects got us off to the usual start in our science classes. On biology field trips we became hot, scratched, muddy, and thoroughly contented if we managed to catch one butterfly or grasshopper, We learned in chemistry that hydrachloric acid will burn holes in shirts or sweaters. We also discovered that burning sulfur produces a suffocating odor which rapidly fills the entire building and causes the non-chemistry students and teachers to open windows and glance antag- onistically towards room 304. In physics we learned that gravitation is the force which causes an apple to fall down rather than up. Through demonstrations and projects we were able to discover many of the how's and whyls behind mechanics, sound, heat, light, and electricity. We science students have many wonderful experiences to remember. Thorugh these classes we have gained a greater knowledge of science and learned cooperation by working together. Page 13
